So for The Great Indoors series Part Two, here's a survey of your humble servant's home.
Here a decorative door topper, there a laundry area door, a winter draft proofer for the front door -- replaced in summer by a stripey canvas one for shade--a fancy sail arrangement in the studio, which my neighbor liked so much I made him one in Japanese silk, shower curtains, a disguise for an unattractive over-sink light.
Some of these were done because of cats wanting to come and go, some I just got on a tear and went and did. Some just look nice and do no other work.
They include an Indian wedding sari, an Indonesian handwoven piece dyed with black walnut, silk scarves, a repurposed pillowcase, as well as regular stuff like window and shower curtains.
I hope the current US bailout includes the manufacturers of spring tension rods, clearly a staple chez Boud.
And you do realize that this is seasonal, in praise of Spring? Well, spring. anyway. We've got plenty of spring tension in our lives right now. So this is a useful form
Thank you for the lovely blog post! It made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteWe aim to please 😊
DeleteI'm a big fan of the tension rod myself!
ReplyDeleteAs you see, I am too. After I posted remembered I have yet another, holding up a Japanese portiere, forget the real name, in the second bathroom. Too lazy to edit now.
DeleteI use the rods for the showers. Very handy indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit like the museum of mustard! A niche interest 😉
DeleteEnjoyed your post. Most of my posts in the past have been sights in New York City I've visited, but now I'm planning more posts in my apartment. Snow globes, soon. Take care!
ReplyDeleteSnow globes! That would be fun. Definitely do it!
DeleteTension rods are the only form of tension I invite into my home. Like you, I use them all over the place, for multiple tasks. Very handy!
ReplyDeleteYes. I thought the name was just a demand to blog about a good use of tension.
DeleteThanks for the tour. That's a lot of rods.
ReplyDeleteI forgot one! Yes, I'm the Queen of Spring Tension.
DeleteLoved the tour. And now I have the evidence that you are a bona fide genius. The use of tension rods to put up a fabric shade on a sky light window is awesome!
