The Ebony Lounge

[P.C.]

OK....I know this is probably something nobody else has any interest in....but tonight I sit in a room that I have been working on since just after Christmas.  (Hubby thought it was cute to bring home this giant flat TV right out of the Jetsons....into a room full of antiques....I said  uh uh)

 

So we took our dining room (biggest room in the house, and used the least) and turned it into a lounge.  I painted the walls black (yes...black) and all the window trim ivory.  I repurposed  a set of little round wrought iron tables  that had folksie fruit painted on each one, and painted a zebra pattern on them.  We built a bar, and matched the stain to our computer furniture, and did some major juggling.....and tonight is our 'opening' of the Ebony lounge.

 

So.....now that I've finished blowing my horn, I thought this would make a great thread for evening 'chat'.  Kinda like the lunch thread, but for the evening posters.  So if there is a thread that we don't feel like 'hi-jacking', just to say hey to someone....we can do it here.

 

Hey, FC....how's it going.  (see ???  like that) 

[P.C.]

Alright...so THAT didn't work.

 

 

Hi sportsdude....how's life in Seattle ?

 

 

[Sportsdude]

fun. I like it here. Hope I can get in, just have to write a good essay.

[P.C.]

Hi sporstdude !!!

 

When will you know ???

[Sportsdude]

Well, i got to finish the admisson forms and write the essay and then wait for about 2 weeks.

Got to see the mountain today. holy crap is that thing huge.

 

One thing for sure I don't miss home.

[P.C.]

I'm so glad this is such a positive experience for you.  Yaaaay !!!  The Northwest IS beautiful for sure!!!!

 

So, what will you write your essay about....something of your own choice, or are there stricter guidelines ?

 

[Sportsdude]

Essay question:

What do you plan to do with your one and only precious life?

super vague.

[weird al]

Hey, nice lounge ya got here!

[P.C.]

Vague is good.  When it comes to writing essays, the wider the door is open, the wider your mind is open.  I find if something gets too specific, it cuts off my creative flow  (lol...that sounds...um..weird)...but do you know what I mean ?  It creates pressure to have to zone in on one topic.  This way, it's purely creative, and totally subjective.

 

Well, good luck sportsdude....I KNOW you'll do well.

 

On that note, I must sleep.  Enjoy the rest of your time there.

[P.C.]

Hey weird al.  It's a classy little joint....I thought you might like it....lol.

 

 

[P.C.]

By the way....can I get you anything ????

[weird al]

Yeah I love a nice lunge - got any BC wine ( I bet)?

[Sportsdude]

some hard apple cider.

[P.C.]

A few ice wines from Naramata, but other than that I like German wine.  (oh yeah, and a ton of Piesporter that I made at one of the local wineries...lol)

 

Funny thing happened....I tried posting in DV tonight, and for a while, I thought I was banned again.  It DID finally work, but it got me wondering what was up !!!

[weird al]

I haven't dropped in there for a while. Place was a riot at one time. But it seems buggy.
