I've really wanted to paint it since the finish is chipped on the door panels, but I have been too chicken. Now I have an idea of how it will turn out. Ive really enjoyed your site since finding it last week.

You continue to inspire me, and often make it appear effortless. <br /><br />Had to chuckle to myself imagining (for some reason) in many years someone coming across your framed map, and feeling they made such an amazing discovery; "oh my word, look at this hidden picture of a (creepy) girl we found! Wow, it was hidden behind this map!"

Don't you love it when it all comes together. Wish I had a space to decorate.

Years ago I saved the pics from a huge Japanese calendar and I am just now using them in a bunch of frames I picked up to decorate my master bedroom. Some of the pics I am keeping the original size and some I am cutting down to fit smaller frames to put in the bath.

Hard to believe that you snagged that lampshade that so perfectly represents your color scheme--or at least what I'm thinking is your color scheme for the basement! By the way, "basement" just sounds too pedestrian for a space like this. "Lower level," I think I'll call it. :)Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.com
