so... i want to paint my pole room. i want to paint it either silver or bright white. i plan on putting a glaze over it too so i need to decide between glitter glaze & metallic. i would rather the room be a little darker so i'll probably go with the silver with a glitter glaze if it looks OK. i also want to paint a border/frame around my mirror "cluster" & get a few more mirrors to make them go floor to ceiling. when i hung them i wasn't able to climb the pole & i hadn't even begun to work on floorwork so having them only in the middle of the wall made sense.

^^^looking into my pole room^^^

^^^looking "out" of my pole room^^^

^^^the windows in my pole room(i would like to have some better looking curtains too!)^^^

^^^looking out from my pole room into my dining room, which is actually my game room^^^

i would LOVE to move the air hockey table & foosball table upstairs to to black room but they are really heavy & i can't move them by myself so they will be in the dining room until i can make someone help me :D

when i take down my christmas decorations in a few days i will need to re~decorate with my other stuff & since it's all put up i can kinda start fresh :-D i want to buy some white flowers for my living room since it's bright orange i need to stay away from adding even more color, i also wouldn't mind moving the furniture in my living room around. if i do that i'll need to do something with the walls too. i want some big metal flowers for my living room walls so bad but i can't find any that i LOVE! so until i do my walls can stay naked :-p i would also like some new lamps that actually match my shit! & if i could make the fireplace "blend in" a little more that'd be great too! it looked fine back when i had glass top tables in there, now that i have the darker wooden tables it kinda makes the fireplace stick out. IDK i just want it too look like it goes together.

that picture is older so i don't have that shit up on the mantle anymore, now its christmas trees & snowmen (only 2 more days of that) but everything else is the same. so you can see why i want to move things around & put stuff on the walls :D i would LOVE to put that TV up on the mantle just to get it off my floor but its one of the HUGE old TVs so i'm not so sure its a good idea to put something that heavy up there.

i have been eyeing a chandelier from Urban Outfitters for a while now & i've pretty much decided i'm never gonna be able to buy it. BUT the other day when i was taking the above pics of my pole room i happened to look over to my dining room & look what i found!

haha! yup! i have a chandelier in that room just waiting to be used! i never use my dining room, well i put the christmas tree up in there at holiday time & i have my air hockey table & foosball table in there... see, no reason to have a chandelier in that room at all!!! so i want to take it down, paint it & switch it out with the one above my kitchen table :-D

this is the one i've been drooling over

& this is one i saw while looking through etsy

now i know mine is a totally different shape than these but if i can find some paint that is safe to be used on a lamp (in hight heat) & some glass beads i will be able to recreate the look i love for really cheap! my kitchen is belize blue & i have been wanting to incorporate some red in there as an accent color. right now i only have red flowers for my accent color, lol. here are some pictures of my kitchen so you can get a better idea of what i wanna do.
