Slow down

A gap with no posts means one thing: my days are too fact-paced to sit and write a post. There's always something going on, but in the back of my head, my thoughts always drift in this direction. I need to slow down, I think. My slow-pace was ingnitioned in the shower today when I sat on the floor for hours (okay, well, nearly one), closed my eyes, & pretended those drops of water hastily making their way through my head to the floor were a waterfall somewhere under the cliff of a breathtakingly beautiful mountain, ..in a lake (sans fish or any living creature that is). It was a matter of minutes before my zein-thoughts were invaded by mental images of a luis XV chair, modern and classic chandeliers, paint buckets, and a lotttt of confusion. I've been obsessing over a source of decorating inspiration, but if there's anything I know about myself, it would be that my biggest and by far best source of inspiration for anything is love -for a person- but that kind of love is lacking, and with it the inspiration for anything art-driven lacks. My most recent paintings feel hollow and with no sole, and my attempts to create a decor pallet -though successful- seem to consume a LOT of energy and provoke perplexity; do I go classic lighting/chandeliers and modern sofas? or do I go elegant classic and edgy modern lighting? Wood panels in taupe with green undertone, or pink undertone? .. where should the toile de jouy go? on the curtains and some cushions, or just on the bed-wall? -- where should the trompe de chasse go? I want inspiration, but until it comes or I find it, I'll continue going through stacks of decor books, and just about every copy of ELLE decor I find.
