Bedroom
Monday, September 14th, 2009Ronda from All the Best emailed me to invite me to enter a contest she was putting together that pitted bedroom against bedroom, by amateur and designer alike. This Best Bedroom Decorating Contest judges include: Ronda Carman, Michael Devine, Amanda Nesbit, Todd Romano, Nathan Turner, Kelly Wearstler and Vicente Wolf.
If Vincente Wolf and Kelly Wearstler just somehow got the urge to hire me to go around the world sourcing vintage, whats the harm in entering? A girl can unreasonably dream, right?
I thought first off JEEEZ, I’m not going to be able to compete against real designers with real budgets with my shitty Ikea sheets and tiny little bedroom. I mean, I could really be embarrassed….
You know what, FUCK IT. I ‘m going to try to enter my little bedroom, but I’m going to pull things from every other room that I LOVE LOVE LOVE and design my bedroom with shit around the house. I thought it could be fun, like my house is a store and I’ll just go shopping. Oh god isn’t that like a horrible show on HGTV? Redesign or something…
My bedroom is at the mid point of redesign. It’s not that much different, not really finished though…
Any suggestions about how real designers make things look fancy? Oh man, I want to be fancy real bad.
You should enter to! Come on, look at the cool judges and fancy prizes. You know your stuff would be better than all the stuff on Design Star or even most the things on Top Design. I do miss hearing Jonathan Adler awkwardly say “See you later decorator”.
