Sunday in Suburbia: Little by Little

Well I suppose it has been a while...

I have been swamped at my day job, but I also have been busy starting and partially completing 78 different projects.  Maybe not 78, more like 7 to 8.  I have determined there is a really good chance I have adult ADD.  No joke, folks.  I once had no problem focusing and knocking out a project, but not so anymore.

Example.  Friday when Boone left for the UT game he found my recently ordered fabric had just been delivered.  While I was annoyed that the 48 hours to ship an order promise turned into 96 hours, all frustration subsided when I began unrolling my 9 yards of master bedroom drapery fabric.  I previously settled on some prefabricated panels from Ikea thinking I would never be satisfied with any fabric at a reasonable price point.  First I fell in love with Schumacher's Bellows.  Which depending on where you purchase it will run you between $80-$120 a yard...times the 9 yards I need...NOT HAPPENING.  So then I fell in love with a much more reasonably priced fabric from a local store for $33 a yard.  However, I still was not feeling the $300 alone for drapery fabric.

I have had a crush on Premier Prints Chipper Storm for a while, and decided I could be happy with that.  And now the Ikea curtains are now in my office.  Now for some fun pillows.  Also from Premier Prints, I chose Lulu Twill in Storm/Yellow.  I am actually not doing the ever popular gray and yellow theme; I'm doing the color scheme I've had in my room for over 5 years - gray, black, various shades of purple, and a forever alternating accent color.  First the accent was green, then magenta, now it's going to be yellow.  There is a fairly good chance this color concept will continue for many years to come.  Hey, I love purple.  {FYI: so does John Portman, so I'm in good company.}
