    Don't use wallpaper

    It might seem cool or fun or trendsetting or artistic

    But it is nothing but trouble

    Just don't

    Hell, no. My parents had it up, but mostly because the walls were shot.

    We have pink paper from the 80's or 90's up in one of the rooms. What a PITA it's going to be taking it down. Thankfully, it's the room Mrs. Phibes has designated as her 'crafting space'.

    I was only joking

      We got tile for our patio. I did all the work myself. Drove to the bank, withdrew cash, then used some good ol’ elbow grease to place that cash into the hands of a handyman. I think it turned out great, if I do say so myself.

          Looks cozy. I would miss the ceiling fan. Love those things.

              Thanks! We also put in an ostentatious chandelier, as befits an ostentatious person such as myself. The entryway needs a lot more work though. We have a console table coming from Etsy which is very beautiful. Then we need to put stuff on the walls.

                A framed TNCR POTD collection would look nice there.

                            Speaking of joinery, we got an entryway table where the joinery is a central part of the look. The pieces just slide together without fasteners. Not appropriate for rooms where the furniture is upside down and bolted to the ceiling. We tried it in the upside down room first, and they will be hearing from our lawyers.

                              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
