ysobelleAs I've been moaning for months now, I've been watching almost nothing but HGTV. Hours of it. And while it's on the whole had a beneficial effect on the things I have, it's been a bit frustrating. Granted, I cleaned a little last night, and in a fit of inspiration, yanked out an old and useless plastic storage set and threw it into the kitchen, thus decluttering my counters at last. But it's not enough. Christmas was low-key for me-- a pair of lovely garnet earrings, two sets of sheets, and-- well, this rocks-- a ticket to this:
Sovereign Bank World Pop Mix
The Black Watch
The Pipes, Drums and Highland Dancer of the 1st Battalion and the Band of the Welsh Guards
Sunday, January 15
3pm | Verizon Hall
Scotland's Black Watch joins with the Welsh Guards for an evening of music and pageantry. Featuring 90 performers, the show includes bagpipes, traditional military marches, drum solos and Celtic dancing. Enjoy Highland Flings, as well as Scotish and Irish favorites such as "The Blue Bells of Scotland," "Cutty Sark Jig" and "Dear Old Donnegal."
Yay. But what I need it an overhaul of my space, and Mom has tentatively agreed to go furniture-looking with me. And the best thing? I've finally narrowed down over the last few months what I want as a style.
I may not ever get it, but I have an idea now of what'd be ideal for me: I'm absolutely in love with the Art Nouveau style-- have been for years. But I also love an even more literally organic look. And cheesy as it sounds, what I keep coming back to is the look Alan Lee and John Howe created for Rivendell. Yeah. I wanna live in an Elf House. Seriously. I adore the curving lines and stonework, and the vines and greenery. Now, as I have no ins with WETA Workshop, I have no idea how I'm actually going to get to this point, but it's definitely something to start seriously working towards.
Time to hit my Louis Majorelle books again.
