Decorating Naturally
Yesterday, I attended another of Emptybucket’s exceptionally superfluous, dreary talks. Yesterday’s subject was “Using Dust, Dust Bunnies, Grime and Soap Scum as Decorative Elements.”
Emptybucket contends that these materials are perfect for home decoration, but too many people misuse them. Rather than over-thinking and over-working your home decoration projects, you should, according to Emptybucket, just let the dust, dust bunnies, grime and soap scum lie where they fall, thereby creating a much more natural decorative motif.
Emptybucket criticized people who use sponges, mops, rags, cleansers and water to alter their collection of dust, dust bunnies, grime and soap scum, thereby giving the resulting decoration an artificial feel. “Natural is definitely the way to go in home decorating,” exclaimed Emptybucket.
I usually fall asleep within the first few seconds of Emptybucket’s talks, but I was riveted to my seat with rapt attention yesterday. I love it when “academics” validate my existing lifestyle.
I’ve long been known to have a penchant for using dust bunnies arranged in a natural display – good to know I’m on the leading edge of modern decor. I suppost the photographers from Architectural Digest will be knocking on my door any day now but I’m not sure I want to endure that invasion of my privacy. What to do, what to do?
@David: I don’t know the laws in your country, but here it’s not legally required to let them in. Of course, no one from Architectural Digest would ever come here so the question has never come up.
