I understand you guys like it but I swear that it looks perfectly nasty to me. 
 
Give me hearts of palms instead - that'll be my equivalent of bacon.

Hairy palms??! 

LOL
 
I'd forgotten how boring preparation really was - especially since tape refuses to stick properly to the stucco and seems more inclined to demonstrate to wonders of gravity. I actually had to pin the tape back using thumbtacks in a bunch of spots... :/
 
Fortunately, I had someone ready to help...
 

 

 

 
 
 

Heh, a neighbor's cat who adopted us as a secondary house (when I still had my house), used to come over whenever she wanted and loved to play under the door like that. 

That one's the loveliest. She's never far from me, sleeps on my feet every night - or in my clothes. And we talk a lot - she's quite vocal and I'm not bad at answering back, so I think she's developed that habit even more.
 
Daddy's little girl. I love that cat!

 
This little one was a stray that REALLY, REALLY, REALLY made sure that someone would adopt her.  I wasn't in a position for any pet but my next door neighbor couldn't resist and named her Chloe.  She would use both of our houses as if she owned them so we did our share of kitty sitting.  I had never had a cat in the house before so waking up when it was still dark-30 and suddenly realizing there was something right in my face was a bit unnerving.  She would wait until my eyes focused a bit then go "Meow?" as if to say "Are you awake?"  Sure made me laugh after I got over the shock.

Aww she really is adorable.
 
Waking up a couple of times a night because of the cats is part of our routine - and you reach a point where it's just so normal that you fall right back asleep.
 
I have more of a problem with the fact that they seem to go completely crazy when they hear that "click" when we turn out the light - everything goes then, jumping in the curtain, knocking things over, fighting under the bed, running over us...
 
A frickin' pain in the neck But I'd miss it.

Sooooo....
 
 
Paint job should happen tomorrow.
Here's a poor shot of the before.
 

 
Then...
 
Wasted time...

 
Really?
 

 
Naked and squeezed...

 
Stuff that's usually hidden...
 

 
Man all this white is giving me anxiety... :/

Incidentally, it's surprising how much brighter the room sounds without those panels of fabric and how different the room sound with everything tucked in the middle.

Is that a coffin?
