As you can see, we have glazed the walls with an old world feel to it. Eventually, natural colored wicker furniture will be placed amongst a bevvy of plants which will replace the furniture we currently have in it. We have yet to paint the ceiling (will do once we have re roofed and fixed the leak).</div> <bR> <div> IN PROGRESS: May 2003</div> <div> <IMG SRC="350b82c0.jpg" border=0 width="184" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="352c82c0.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="3542ce10.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="356e4ab0.jpg" border=0 width="228" height="171" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> BEFORE (May 02)</div> <div>   <IMG SRC="35fb5f10.jpg" border=0 width="181" height="241" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="360b5f10.jpg" border=0 width="181" height="241" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> </div> <bR> <div> Room 2: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Copperplate Gothic Light" >Moroccan Room</FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Copperplate Gothic Light" >.</FONT> This room becomes Guest Room #2 and sports a Moroccan theme. Although we have all the furniture in there, the room has yet to be painted in the traditional style. The sleeping alcove will be painted with traditional Moroccan symbols such as ochre stars against a midnight blue sky and the whole room will eventually be draped in silk (like being in a tent). A sitting area with a round brass platter table and floor pillows sits upon tribal rugs.</div> <div>  </div> <div> IN PROGRESS: May 2003</div> <div> <IMG SRC="358c02c0.jpg" border=0 width="192" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="35ae12c0.jpg" border=0 width="225" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="35c2ce10.jpg" border=0 width="300" height="225" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="35ee12c0.jpg" border=0 width="225" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> BEFORE</div> <div> <IMG SRC="36196c80.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Room 3:  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Copperplate Gothic Light" >Adirondak room. </FONT>This room is Guest Room #3 and is themed to honor the family camp in Upstate NY. We're still unsure as to what paint treatment we'll give this room. It's pretty bare-bones right now with just 2 twin beds, a TV, and a few pieces of furniture. We'll get around to "dialing in" this room later.</div> <div> IN PROGRSS: May 2003</div> <div> <IMG SRC="36ac2020.jpg" border=0 width="194" height="258" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="363a3010.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="257" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="367c1010.jpg" border=0 width="193" height="257" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                   </div> <bR> <div> Room 4:  <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#990000" FACE="Copperplate Gothic Light" >Kitchen #2 </FONT>There's a little bity Kitchenette upstairs.

Since this room affords such a terrific view, we plan to give it a tastful "Cloud" theme by painting a fresco on the sloped ceiling.  </div> <div> IN PROGRESS: May 2003     </div> <div> <IMG SRC="370e22c0.jpg" border=0 width="226" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"> <IMG SRC="372ec2c0.jpg" border=0 width="236" height="300" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div>      </div> <div> Room 6: <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Copperplate Gothic Light" >Upstairs bath #3 of 4. </FONT>We're planning a Tibetan Cloud theme for this little bathroom but it's waaaay down on our list, so it will have to wait awhile to realize it's full potential.
