Anyone who knows me knows that I have bouts of insomnia. I've seen doctors and even tried medication, but when my mind starts whirling I just can't seem to settle down and stay asleep. I used to just lay there, now I get up and do whatever it is that I feel like I need to do. I guess that is just a side effect of a creative ADHD mind. Instead of fighting it I kind of find myself embracing it. It tends to produce good results:
3:00 am. Up.
3:15 am Coffee & design blogs.
3:30 am We need open shelving. Now.
3:40 am Door removed, primer & paint out.
You get the picture ; o )
The dictionary is a gift from my dad. He loves old books and objects just as much as I do! |
The Emma Bridgewater dishes are an early Christmas gift from my mom- we both share a love of dishes! |

When we repainted our kitchen cabinets two years ago I debated on not putting the doors up. I have regretted that decision and hope one of my Christmas gifts this year from my husband will be that the doors are finally removed :)
ReplyDeleteApril- The gift that will keep on giving ; o) I had open shelving in our last house that my hubby custom built and loved them. I miss that!
ReplyDeletelove how you have them displayed...well done for early am work! I wonder if paint fumes wakes slumbering children??

I really love it! Looks great. I identify with your insomnia. I do the same thing, unfortunately I have several autoimmune diseases and the lack of sleep leads to a vicious cycle, but my best work is always during the insomnia fits.

Northern Cottaage- Mine were raised on paint fumes, it's fresh air that wakes them up, lol!
ReplyDeleteAmber- Thank you so much! We need an insomniac decorators club!
