mmmmm... man cave.

Okay, my house is post and beam pretty much all done by me. Cherry cabinets with bright blue accents done by me. Most of the paint is cream done by Pete. The unfinished bits have not been done ...by me. The dog hair tumble weeds are mostly done by Bessie with some little assistance from Merlin. Piles of art supplies and projects done by lil Pete and lil Griff.

I'll be right over. Start by buying bookshelves and a gun safe and we can work the rest out later.

My shop is my man-cave... will take some pics someday.

ok Bri, We want to see YOUR day -cor too! Where is that purple wall. I wanna see it:)

:) I don't have a camera (none. Not even a non-digital type one!) but when my sis comes up, I'll have her take some pics with hers and then have her show me how to put them on here. I am so very hopelessly uncomputer savvy. The digital/computer age passed me by. I think I was out hoe-ing the tomatoes when it went by! I'd love to post pics...hopefully I will get to soon.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black.

yay! don't feel bad. I want a good camera too and cannot afford one yet. I am envious about being able to grow tomatoes anyway. Having a camera is nothing compared to some nice soft earth to plant in. :) imo

I have the camera but don't know how to stick pictures in here, I know, it's a bit sad but I don't care. I live on the second floor of a Victorian building converted from a hotel into flats just before the last war, and we also have a ghost! She (the ghost) is thirtyish with blonde curly hair and just sort of stands about the place smiling and lowering the temperature. She seems to be dressed in between the wars style, I'm guessing mid twenties and dowdy.

She visits mosts of the flats in the building but seems to spend the majority of her hanging about time in the basement kitchen.

Apart from her, I have tried to furnish and decorate in a style sympathetic to the building, so real and repro Victoriana is my style. The high ceilings and plaster moulding (molding?) is all in place and authentic as are doors and windows etc., and as the building is listed and in a conservation area we cannot change anything without permission. It is difficult to heat effectively of course so I close the main living room in winter, once the west wind starts to blow, and because the main bedroom is huge it doubles as a sort of bedsitter until the days get warm again. All of the rooms have working fireplaces which are cosy in winter but seabirds drop stuff down the chimneys. There's always something lying in the grate...

Mine is Displaced Homemaker-1980s California Comtemporary (medium oak solid wood) meets Cat Lady/Hoarder. Add too many plants. I would take a picture but the camera is in one of these piles and I haven't found it for a while :ivy:

imagine your local hardware store/ building supply place after is has been crashed into by a runaway dumptruck and then picked over for a while before it began raining.

Something like that.
