The Bitchslap I got from Karma for thinking bad about my mother (see previous post) , was an eyeopener in more than one way.
Apparently I've also swallowed the text-trend in interior design sink and hook.
This pic woke me up:
At the bottom left corner. What do I see?
I'm not blind, nor stupid. I can see there's tea there. Why the text??
I'm sooo painting this over.
Then I turn around, and no less than 3 meters away, there's this hanging on the wall by the fridge:
Huh. Guess I have to rethink the not stupid statement, right?
However, this does not contain tea... Bazinga!
After doing it's foremost duty; reminding me to take the meds I'm on, it also holds an assortment of all the little knick-knacks I don't know where else to put, but which comes in handy in the kitchen. Such as rubberbands, breadbags-clips, toothpicks and extra fridge magnets.
But why haven't I scratched off the text? Poor guests! I always tell them to make themselves at home in my kitchen, and yet here I am misleading them terribly. He, he, he... ;)
By now I'm intrigued. What else text-wise is there really here? Quite a bit it turns out.
Just in the kitchen area I found:
Sink backsplash. |
After 1,5 year in the house, I still don't remember which knob turns on what. The controlfreak in me loves the labeller so... |
True. |
Again, true. |
Truth #3. Sign remade to magnet, hanging on the edge of the stove fan, facing the living room area. |
The living room area had been spared, almost. This is the Man's addition of text in the house and it's going out to the Party-Barn come spring.
Moving on throughout the rest of our little house:
Hallway. |
Bathroom. Colorcoded sortingstation for laundry. |
Little bathroom, cabinet. Labeller in use again. Top shelf: Batteries-Plugs-Insects-Sun Lower shelf: Medicines (Me, the Man, All purpose) |
The little bathroom again. Small window, no real need for curtains, so why not a framed comic? I do not know how my mind works... |
Desk. |
Bedroom mirror. "Life's simple pleasures: A seed to sow, a place to go, a walk to take, something to make" |
Bedroom again. |
What do you think? I'm thinking maybe I need a text-detox. I'm really overstating the obvious, aren't I?
