My crazy decorating dream

11 years ago

Maybe once or twice a year I will remember a dream, but I remembered this one from last night. Maybe I'm on GW a little too much?....lol.

So, we're having a party and a crew shows up. Evidently DH decided we needed a little "updating." Out goes my DR furniture and in comes an old, French Provincial style pool table..is there such a thing? I go upstairs and the high-quality, perfectly good carpet has been ripped out of just our bedroom...nice jagged cut at the door. The only thing in the room is one of those Victorian style settees...the kind with the big medallion in the middle. It is a bad reproduction. The fabric is an ugly green and red...it looks like Christmas. Then, DH had what seemed like 50 individual teeny tiny shelves made and the upstairs hall is lined with them. Sitting on top of each one are old, floral teacups and saucers.

I become inconsolable and the kids rally around me to calm me down. Some time later the crew is back and they are carting out the settee....then I woke up.

DH and I both like more modern, clean lines so it made the dream even more bizarre. Wait until I tell him I almost divorced him last night.....over decor!

Too funny! I suppose it's only a natural extension of our daily thought processes that produce vivid decorating dreams. I have them too, and often!

And hey, I found "the pool table of your dreams." Why, it even features the horrifying Wizard of Oz flying monkeys.

Ha ha ha! I figure dreams like that are when your mind needs a rest from the real world.
Jen, love the monkey table. Although that monkey would probably give me nightmares ala Fear Nothing by Dean Koontz.

Wow, that's a pretty detailed dream. Definitely warn dh that you'd be upset if it came true. Lol.

What a nightmare! :-) At least you know it likely won't actually come to pass, considering your husband's style preference, so you can laugh about it.

Such a funny dream! I'm glad that you remembered it to share here with us. A French Provincial pool table . . . how strange (LOL)!

Has your husband made any choices or decisions lately that upset you?

AuntJen.....the flying monkeys...how funny!

Grammarows.....DH is usually the voice of reason when it comes to decorating the house. I will agonize over a decision for weeks, but if I present the options to him he will pick one out in 10'seconds and then say why it's the best one. He's usually right.
