Lovely Loo
/During the past 10 months while at home many of us have made changes, we’ve painted, we’ve bought new pieces and redecorated our spaces - because either we were finally able to settle on what we wanted or out of boredom.
May 2020
Looking back at this image from May - this update was motivated by boredom. I was tired of the old shower curtain and introducing pink to this space with a new curtain and towels was fun and fresh.
October 2020
Fast forward to October and I wanted a bigger change. I wanted a less busy space and down came all the art. I missed my navy towels so I knew the color palette would be blue and white again.
“Loo is deriving from the French “guardez l’eau”, which means “watch out for the water” When the British adopted it they shortened it to the more pronounceable “gardy-loo”, which eventually became “loo” and was applied to the toilet itself.”
I used Rub n Buff to add just the right bit of glitter to this Parisian street print.
While we all know how much I love a big mix of pieces - this time I decided to focus on the single theme France and let that be my guide. I went around the Chalet gathering pieces.
I did order one new piece Ballerinas in Blue by Erisha of A Thing Created.
The curtain feels sophisticated, eventually I hope to purchase fabric - something in a modern pattern like the kitchen curtains or possibly something in a chinoiserie pattern but, at the moment I’m happy.
Til next time friends stay safe.
