So instead of caviling about the pig who leaves her oatmeal-incrusted bowl and spoon in the sink all day, every fucking day (or she did until I threw them away behind her back on Friday) I've decided to concentrate on happy thoughts. And since my happy thoughts tend to comprise R Man, naked guys and decorating and since the first two seem to be pretty thoroughly covered here, I've decided to start a new feature called Chez peenee of the things I like about the decorating I've done around the old homestead here.
And what better place to begin than the toilet? The downstairs powder room, to be both precise and delicate. I've already documented my passion for thrift stores and over the years of hunting and gathering there, I began collecting the aluminum serving pieces that were so popular in the 50's and 60's. Eventually I wound up with several hundred of them. Regardless of what R Man says, it was not a sickness, they were just cheap and I could usually count on finding one or two in pretty much any junk store, no matter how slender the pickings were otherwise. Still, several hundred trays and dishes tend to clog the living space. The solution? Paint the bathroom purple and velcro them to the walls. All of them.



That is fucking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling "Chez peenee" may just usurp the nearly naked doods as my favorite feature around here. (Adore R Man, too, natch.)
That's brilliant. Dorothy Draper would no doubt approve.
ReplyDeleteI would be well camouflaged in there with my tinfoil hat.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
ReplyDeleteMy jaw dropped. I love it.
ReplyDeleteAnd you forgot to mention the spectacular crash that's made when one of the pieces slips its velcro bondage and plumates to earth. Or at least to the tile floor.
ReplyDeleteThat purple is AWESOME! I don't know why people are surprised by dark colors in bathrooms... I have a merlot color in my bathroom.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteLove YOU, too!!
Too FABULOUS, Mr. P. Miss J MUST see more of the Peen Manse.
ReplyDeleteFucking gaytastic! LURVE!!! Splendid!
ReplyDeleteoooh, so I'm dying to ask, what other collections do you have and will they too get their own rooms?
ReplyDeleteDo tell
ayem8y decorator to the stars"It's ingenious! Overwhelming in a gorgeous way while serving the practical duty of storage."
ReplyDeleteI sometimes think the old ladies who originally used these pieces have passed on from various aluminum-related issues and diseases. WOW a small confined powder room filled entirely with vintage aluminum pieces, it’s so James Bond Evil Villain Chic.
omg - it's fabulous! I would be honored to pee there ;-)
