The rocker above came from Joshua's grandparents. We wrapped it in tapestries we bought in Peru. The curtains are made from sari fabric that I purchased in Nepal. The mirror is from New Orleans.
This is a heavily weeded cross-section of the books we once owned. If you're wondering what remained, I'll admit that Stephanie Meyer makes an appearance, as does Charlaine Harris. In less humbling news, Alice Sebold, Dorothy Allison, and Barbara Kingsolver are always welcome on our shelves. Joshua's books are primarily about race, the 60s, and free lovin'.
I painted the top of the little blond nightstand to compliment our 'Gumball Red' wall. The mission lamp is a gift from our wedding (thanks JJ!), and the throw is made of yak wool from Nepal.
Joshua is master when it comes to the nail and hammer: he calls this his 'High Fantasy with a nod to South America and its Papist Residents wall.' The tapestry was a gift from Joshua from Cuzco. The empty frames are waiting for matted photos :)
Our large window and lovely wood-inlay coffee table.
For the record, it would take about five coats of 'Gumball Red' to cover this wall without any streaking coming through; we used three. Pretty poster-print from British National Art Museum. Little piggies from Ecuador. Hurricane lamp from the Andert family coal and ice business.
'Before' photo. Can of paint unopened :)
