Also, for your advice on the painted floor boards. Since my comment on your blog, I have moved the furniture back into the room and I love it. Maybe I was just fixating on the floor and not the overall concept. Love your blog - you have a great eye - the antique maps are fascinating!

Have you heard of it? It was shown at Mass MOCA last October. Each piece is about 8" X 10". I, too, need some inspiration to frame them and hang them en masse. <br />Please keep us posted - I will be very interested to see what you do with your maps.<br />Cheers,<br />RuthRuthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-24445186042898883772013-03-12T12:04:35.044-04:002013-03-12T12:04:35.044-04:00Just terrific, Steve.
