Dismantling for Paint

Feather-duster

 

 

Tomorrow the painter comes to paint our smoked damaged living and dining room that were ruined due to a chimney fire in December.

One would think I had enough time to think about paint colors.

One would think I would be organized and slowly, carefully moved everything out of the rooms.

One would think I would have thought about that.

Oh the life of a spur of the moment girl.

 

 Above is a nineteen century feather duster:

It once danced through the perfectly put parlours in the hand of maid

wearing a white pinafore and thick black stockings.

 

Then there is me barefoot with jeans, sitting on the sofa in a panic. looking through paint colors, with French Husband freaking out that we need to move everything out…

Later I hear a scream when he opens the armoire,

"Corey you are never going to the brocante again."

 

Seven tomorrow morning the painter comes…. I might not sleep tonight.

  1. Can’t you simply throw some old sheets (you got some, don’t you?) over the whole shebang?

    Being a “spur of the moment girl” has its advantages, even if they did not come into play in this situation. Hope you didn’t lose a night of sleep!
