Bedroom Walls: Done!

Hooray!! The era of non-stop taping and painting has passed, and the age of reading and chillaxing is upon us... thanks in LARGE part to Sean, who finally got fed up with how long it was taking me and picked up a roll of painter's tape and a brush.

Not my most flattering pair of pants... but the Ghostbusters 2 mirror itself (Sean + Ebay), I love. I traced it's space on the wall before I started drawing the pattern, to make sure the other shapes would meet up with its corners.

This Inspector-Gadget-y retractable lamp is another of Sean's ebay finds... as is the Aalto chair. And most everything else in our house... like this:

...a Curtis Jere wall sculpture that we originally thought we'd put in the dining room. But it wasn't quite right; kind of an odd match with everything else in that room. Turns out it was just waiting to be perfect for this spot.  

That ceiling fan is sticking out something awful now, and it's gonna have to go soon. We already have a possible replacement, but I'm not really sure if it's going to work. If it does, I'll show ya. If it doesn't.... well, I'll probably show you anyway. 

This is a super blurry picture of my temporary solution for the other bit of unsavory lighting in the room: a $3.44 home depot special wall sconce. This is one of the places in the house where they replaced an original spun aluminum bullet sconce (the house would have had 12 or 13 of them, but we only have four left) I took the grape-vine etched tulip shaped glass shade thingy off, and threw this Tord Boontje garland over the bulb. It's a little slapdash, but it'll do until we find the right sconce.
