Concoct: To invent, make up, contrive
Yes, I am a concocter...Is that a word? Concocter...I have always had a vivid imagination. That also goes for concocting decor and furnishings in my home...I bought that old mantel about 3 years ago...I didn't really know what I was going to do with it...I just thought it SCREAMED Meme...I love anything black and white...I drug her home, dusted her off and tried her in every area of my home...I sadly had to tuck her away and forgot about her for a while...
Until one day, I was at Kirkland's Home and found that mirror you see hanging in the middle of the mantel...It was on clearance for 75% off...I got it for $50.00! I thought to myself...How cute would this be with that mantel! And then my wheels started turning...I thought it reminded me of an Old Time~y Saloon in the wild west.... I drug that mirror home...I knew without measuring, that it would fit...I am good when it comes to eyeballing...
{Eyeballing...that is a weird word...There goes my imagination, again...Sometimes I think I would be rich, if Hollywood could get in this funny, little mind...It is a mystical place...And quite comical, I must say...;)}
Yes, it fit...So, now I had to find a side board or dresser to sit my new "concoction" on...It had to be bar height to make bar tending easy...You would of thought I would of started with the sideboard and then the mantel and lastly, the mirror...No, Screaming Meme is a bit dyslexic...lol But, it is working for me...so, why worry?
{Not to change the subject, again...;) But I sometimes forget that I am dyslexic...I was strolling along at Lowe's the other day...And I saw John Deere Mowers...I subconsciously read "John Deere" on the mower...I was still strolling along in my own little world and started thinking about the new movie, Dear John...I thought, "Why did that come to my mind?" and I giggled to myself...I read Deere John...Oh, my funny, little brain ;)}
I was working on a model home and had to find a few more pieces before I turned her over to the builders...I walked into a high end rustic furniture shop and there was "THE" rustic Texas style sideboard...Sitting quietly tucked away, like some forgotten treasure...It was perfect for my game room bar, I thought...I had to put her on layaway...And pay her out...
There she is... the "Old Saloon" Bar in our game room...She is so happy sitting there on display...She gets dressed up for the holidays...And when we have guests over, we bring out the "adult beverages" that hide in the cabinets...Yes, she is versatile...I plan on adding glass shelves and a light at the top for when I want to light her up and show her off...I think she is pretty as she is now...It could easily be a hutch in a rustic dining room...A sink could be plopped in the middle of the cabinet and she could be the center of attention in any bathroom or fancy outhouse ;)...The possibilities are endless, when you use your imagination to "CONCOCT"...What can YOU concoct today?
