Happy Hump Day Steemians! I always wondered what the origin of Hump Day was, and I just looked it up - different than what I thought (get yer mind out of the gutter, Mew Mew!)
hump day
The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week.
Wednesday. Middle of the week. The rest of the week towards friday is a downhill ride.
Hehe, definitely not what I thought, but moving swiftly on! Today's post is all about collections. Collections of beautiful things, collections of valuable items to be reused, and collections of pieces that I have curated in displays at my shop. I have a lot of fun designing the different areas, and deciding which items to put where to create the look I want.
First - the collections of STUFF that just lies around my shop. It may look chaotic, but I promise that if you ask any of the team in the workshop, they will know exactly where something is.

These are vintage brass castings, which we buy on the markets in Europe. We use them to make the waterfall and neoclassical chandeliers.
Here you can see one of the small little waterfalls my team created out of these brass castings. Amazing right!
This may look like a bunch of crap, but it's actually the bulb holders that fit inside the arms of the chandeliers, where the bulbs actually connect to the electrical wires. I just liked playing around with the black and white filter in Photoshop, I thought it was quite fitting for this image

The crazy space that is our workshop. These lights need be restored, reused or recycled. There are some hidden beauties up there; every now and then, I will spot an exceptionally special antique light that we have all forgotten about and we will get it down and refurb it. Sometimes, some really gorgeous lights come out of this process.

Here's the passage space that I curated a little while ago. This and the image in my cover at the top of this post were both inspired by chaos. I wanted to just mix and match antiques with new pieces, taxidermy with luxe golden mirrors, and I loved the juxtaposition of the golds and silvers against the rich royal blue paint on the walls.

I hope you've enjoyed this little peek into my daily life - I often spend hours sorting out those messy drawers by the way!
I'll leave you with this video of Megalomaniac by Incubus. I am so excited cuz I will be seeing them live next week Wednesday. Woot!
