If my dad has said it once, he has said it 100x’s: “If you don’t find him handsome, find him handy.” He was, in fact, found handy (and perhaps handsome, as well) in my recent mini makeover of my bedroom. My mom and I need to merely begin a project which involves paint to quickly retain (without any solicitation) my dad’s involvement. This is particularly handy in view of my father’s attention to detail and adept facility with the paint brush.
The inspiration for the mini makeover was a inexpensive West Elm duvet cover and a set of mirrors passed along by my sister. I wanted soft antique touches, with a pop of modern color and print (hence the high lacquer poppy red and wide stripe). Makeovers are such fun (and, quite common, at my place). Now, I’m working on my office. Stay tuned.
