the idea never gets old for me.
This morning I saw the Steampunk Home blog featured this little treasure:
Ladies and gentlemen, the sharpie library. All that is is sharpie over regular cream wall color. Talk about design on a dime. Although, I can't help but think there could be some significant braincell loss with that much sharpie fume exposure. Still, it may be worth it. While the article here: http://www.kentucky.com/147/story/532854.html (which also has panoramic view) focuses on all the historical, literary, and pop culture figures lounging about in the walls beyond the wall, its the architectural and decorative details that have my attention. It reminds me a bit of living in an Edward Gorey drawing (which seems a bit risky, but alluring nonetheless). Can I just add that setting a clock inside the wall, so that the face was flush with the grandfather clock drawing was a stroke of dedicated genius? I also like how the lawyer who drew his library gifted himself with a variety of modern masterworks of art- or at least, with their outlines. I don't know that this particular project would be for me, but I like where it's heading.
