1. Me in front of our calligraphy mural, done by Steph. Peace, Love, Health, Music (not in that order).

2. The furry kids on our redone bedroom. It used to be a chocolate brown. I told Steph I was tired of waking up feeling like I was in an anus. Not that I know what that's like, but I imagine it would be warm, moist, brown and dark. Our previous bedroom decor matched 50% of those criteria. I repainted our bedroom furniture from this orangey-colored wood to a nice Beluga Black, then topped it off with a few coats of Polycrylic. Walls were repainted from HersheySquirt Brown to Corn Husk Green (or some such color).

3. Here's another shot showing the repainted mirror and to B&W pix that evoke a mystical, ethereal feeling. One is a shot of some mountains from Tahiti, the other of a spruce forest in Alaska.
