What would Karl Lagerfeld do?

QUESTION:
So you wanna know how to blow 33 hours and a quick 2 grand without going to sin city?
ANSWER:
Decide you want a period door to match your house that was built in 1887
...at least in Vegas you can blame it on the fact that you were hammered out of your gourd or if you were Karl Lagerfeld you could blame it on well...um...uh...
Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.   Karl Lagerfeld 
Today switched the direction of the door, changed the lock set, took out the mortise, put in the lock, put on the handle, put in the mail slot...primed with oil based paint, sanded filled with wood putty and bondo , painted the interior side, let it dry sanded it again, primed a second time, flipped it sanded the interior side....













I need some fabulous gay from one of the House and Garden shows to come and do a make-over on the rest of this house and then I could just take a spa holiday up in Gstaad or St. Moritz or anywhere in the Swiss alps. 

I could have a Moroccan facial and Tibetan honey massage or I could try a Cleopatra wrap where you are slathered in goat’s milk and oils or a Wallis hay bath or I could be exfoliated with salt, lie suspended in dry flotation beds, get wrapped in clay, horsetail, dandelion and arnica or I could lie in the Infinity Pool, where the natural materials and organic forms of the waterfalls cascading over pebbles make it feel as though the mountain has followed me inside or I could indulge in a unique hammam experience, a sensory odyssey that lasts twelve hours and travels through seven rooms OR I could get my fanny in bed to meet the electrician at 6:30a.
