Propping, Pondering, and Stumping

098

Sometimes it is all about the shape.

I love this one.

I found this Nadeau frame at the flea market

and had the mirror added.


It will be hung somewhere in the den.


Until then,

I have created a new style in design :


Propping.



Along the wall,

you simply prop things you like.


And then you

Ponder.

(sometimes for days)


And just when you remember you need to

focus on the master bedroom’s lack of color,



you begin the

stumping,

 

as you stump your toe on all of the propped items, walking through the house.



Anyway, when I see this particular

shape, I start to

mildly hyperventilate.


Is that a contradiction in terms?

  1. That is a piece worth a sore toe! That is the method I use often. Especially the ponder part.

  2. I've never heard that word but I love the shape! Hope your pondering will cease soon so you can stop stumping!

  3. LOL, I have experienced these three words also. Sometimes "cussing" comes into play too. :) Love the shape of this and can't wait to see where you hang it. Is this a Celtic shape?

  4. This mirror is really charming...reminds me of a pretty one they did at younghouselove.com (Sherry and John). I think it's the same one maybe?? (well, like it) It's a couple of photos down in the post:

  5. I sure have the stumping thing covered. big toe broken twice in 2011. Hoping not to do that again in 2012 but since its necessary for some things to sit on the floor like beds tables chairs and such, break 3 could occur any day/or night..

    love the shape of your new mirror. Looking forward to seeing it hanging .

  11. I like your mirror with the gorgeous frame. I should use your stand it in the floor method. I usually can't wait to get something on the wall and then if I change my mind I have to repair the hole in the wall. I'm too impatient, I guess. Would love having you show the mirror at my home party going on now. Join us if you can.--Shannon
