You purchase an old Victorian in the country. You immediately draw up plans to:
-
Cover it in aluminum siding that's all angles and modern sophistication. Maybe hold a seance or two.
-
Rejoice! Victorians loved heavy patterns and you can't wait to match you curtains to your couch to your purse.
-
Panic. That's so much space! How can you ever fill all of that up. You should call someone, you're going to call someone. Also, add this tasteful TV nook.
-
First you go to lunch, next you shop for fountains. Like you do everyday.
Your assistant/client/friend comes to you to fix up her walk-in closet. You think:
-
"I'll add one large claw in the middle and call it a day"
-
"Perfect. Here is a corner for crying and also a fountain. Love it!"
-
"Well all I know for sure is that we'll need a drawer for shoulder pads and these clip on earrings."
-
"I'll just put a bottle of vodka in her regular closet and call it a day"
Do you like this couch?
-
You turn away in disgust with a flutter of the hand before deigning to answer
-
My eyes! It's Hideous! It should be leather and next to a fountain
-
Oh my yes! Needs a little love but there's nothing wrong with a strong floral!
-
Let's just cover it with some scarves I happen to have lying around my office.
How do you feel about breaking and entering?
