As stressful as it has been, the designs are coming along.
The happiest person in the whole thing, has been the house keeper. Zahir is giving her one of the small suites. She will have a private entrance. Normally a housekeeper and security guard are lucky enough to get a small room here. Zahir treats her as a member of our family.
I have decided on a furniture designer, Estro Milano for the sofas and wall units. Our company has used them before for a couple of projects. I remembered Zahir admiring the lines of the furniture. We decided to combine the two small bedrooms into one giant media room. I'm not sure whether I should share or not but he likes online games. I don't know who he's talking to on the other side of the headset but they get into it. Estro has this line called the "Moma" that I love. We're bringing in craftsmen to do stadium levels. I can see football games with all his brothers and buddies hanging out.
The boy cave is getting a facelift as well. The housekeeper knows we share a bedroom. I think it is silly, but Z still thinks it's important that I have a place of my own. All three bedrooms will have these really cool floating platform beds. They are made of walnut and leather. The central base is so far in that it looks like the things are floating in the air. The night stands have built-in charge plates for our phones and tablets.
The boy cave will have softer furniture. A little more plush, a little more conventional but still has a contemporary flair. Mama laughed at what I picked out for Zahir saying she should have kept her furniture from the 60s. The bones are what is considered mid-century modern, but it has things like backrests that fold up full height.
Some of the designs are already triggering plans for how I can defile them, and relieve Zahir's stress at the end of the day. 💕
We will be moving into the big house while painting and construction is underway. Mama being Mama, both of us will have our own room. No playtime... not under their roof.
Zahir asked me if I would be ok with just using the old furniture in the boy cave. Of course I said I was ok with that. It's not like I spend a lot of time in there. I was sort of looking forward to see what it would end up like.
ReplyDeleteI'm good. It would have been silly to spend that much money. I am picking pieces from around the house to make my cave a bit more cosy.
