Throw Rugs…
You know, someone gave me a wonderful idea about throw rugs in one of the comments on my blog. And as usual, I have fed it to my imagination, just to see where it will go, and this is what I came up with:
Seeing that every apartment building has to have a paid of pesky neighbours, I thought it fitting to be ready for if they should come and visit me again. I have decided that if that should happen, I am going to turn BOTH of them into throw rugs! Now this is practical in many ways.
1. Whenever they get dirty, and I can take them outside and beat them.
2. They’d make a perfect edition to the decorative ideas I am thinking up for my living room floor. I was thinking about the tradition oak or cedar tree growing out of the middle of the living room floor, but throw rugs will do.
3. After getting a good taxidermist, I can pose them in various positions: arguing with mouths agape, the stunned look, like that as if they’s seen a ghost, or the back of a skunk, or my favourite, spread out in splits on the floor with a desperately happy look on their faces.
Now of course they are not going to hold still and let me turn them into throw rugs, so this of course is just a though of IF I could do that. And after listening to them knocking around downstairs, and not complaining about it, I am trying to take all of this with lots of laughter, and a grain of salt. But I get the giggles everytime when I imagine them as items of Feng Shui!
