| My Golf Ball Collection |
The primary reason that I ended up in Florida is that my SO is an avid golfer and he wanted to play golf every day. He had started finding lost golf balls at his country club in fabulous colors and I said I wanted them. I had been putting them on my bone inlay table in my living room and thinking about what to do with them. (And BTW, he disinfects them soaking them in bleach before bringing them inside).
So I decided to see if I could incorporate golf ball decor in my Chinoiserie home just for fun. I took it as a little challenge to see if golf balls and tees could be chic. Trust me, don't search golf ball decor on Pinterest unless you want a really good laugh. If you want a chuckle, go for it.

Did you know that Rit has a tutorial on dyeing golf balls? Aren't the colors beautiful?
I am still waiting on those two color ones from Amazon - apparently they do not think golf balls are essential as I have been waiting for three weeks. UPDATE - I just got an email that they arrive on Friday.

So perhaps this is what one does to amuse oneself while staying at home? Next up - toilet paper couture.
Very imaginative! And that Chinese porcelain bowl holding the pink golf tees is absolutely gorgeous! The toilet paper shoes are tres glam, but I wouldn't go out in the rain with that heel:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, and yes, the shoes are best for a dry day. LOL
DeleteI LOVE THIS POST! It's so much fun, and it made me laugh out loud. The Rit tutorial and the TP shoe! Beth, you are a funny lady! I don't play golf, so I'm not as up to date on them since my dad passed away, but there are so many amazing golf balls out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am not a golfer and had no idea they could be so pretty!
DeleteFun! I grew up on a golf course in Ocean Springs, MS and had fun building a tee and ball collection as a young child. I always gave them to my golf obsessed grandma😂
ReplyDeleteA golf obsessed grandma - now that's a hoot.
DeleteI had to look on Pinterest and you are absolutely spot on. My husband is a pro golfer and even he laughed. This is a man that honestly thought I would let a mechanical Caddy Shack gopher reside in a place of prominence in our sunroom. Odd, it disappeared. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe way some dress is bad enough without the "decor."
