Good Bones

Hi!! Wow, I can't believe I'm really doing this, but here I am, blogging of all things. I started this little endeavor for two reasons. First, there were some folks who actively inquired about what was happening in the house, so I sent pictures of my progress...then I got fussed at for sending them to some and not to others. Now, how was I supposed to know who had an interest in this stuff besides me, my momma and Diva Queen B? Anyway, I just didn't want to bombard anyone who was really not in in to all this HGTV stuff. After that, as I sent flicks to friends and family of my progress, I got more requests for more flicks and ya'll know I'm limited when things get tedious...so, this is my solution: The Funky I. Blogspot.


Since I really don't know where to start, I guess I have to begin at the beginning. My slice of life is just a basic little townhouse with good bones. When I first saw it I remember thinking that it was perfect and it didn't need a damn thing--well, that was true if you're satisfied with ordinary. I wasn't. It was a nice space but it was ultra vanilla, lacked personality and was completely predictable. The saving grace was that it had good bones.

What I mean by good bones is that the basics were all there. First there were the high ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, the fixtures and the cabinets and countertops that were all good. To top it off there was a beautiful red in the dining room










and a pumpkin color in the Master Bedroom.

The floor plan was open and there seemed to be a lot of light. But there were a lot of things that I wasn't really diggin', like the cheap built-ins. Hated it.













Enter Funky I. ...and the rest, as they say is history. Today this space has been transformed from ordinary to distinct, dynamic and exceptional. Stay tuned and visit often and see my concepts come to life!

Deuces!

Funky I.
