Black and White

Okay, first things first: my gig went very well - with a little help from my friends. I may have some nibbles in the creative world now, and that means so much to me...but what meant the world to me was the warmth and support (and, of course, laughter) from my friends who travelled from near and far to see me make fun of my kitty-cat whiskers in public. More on that later, when it has all sunk in....

Right now I am trying to move forward in in other aspects of my life, especially my living quarters. My teeny-tiny apartment needs some oomph and pizazz and generally someone to give a damn, so after years of watching Clean House and neat and reading stacks of Domino and Real Simple and Cottage Living, and staring at the Apartment Therapy website...I am ready to make some choices. As we know, decisions are sometimes a hurdle for l'il ole me, but today I hit the button at Overstock.com and bought a zebra-striped rug for my living room/kitchenette area, and a smaller zebra-shaped-and-striped rug for my bedroom. I wanted to purchase the above art from Andre Jordan http://www.andrejordan.co.uk/tell-me-something.html, but of course, it is sold. I saw the piece on my new favorite design website, http://blackwhitebliss.blogspot.com/. My design theme for my wee apartment is black and white, with bits of color or silver. I saw that Ralph Lauren Home was doing a very similar theme this year, so I feel in good company. I'll show y'all pictures as I progress ...first, I need to hire painters. Cheap painters.
