Two large (24" X 28") original photographs of my great-great-great-grandparents. The photo of my grandfather shows him in his police uniform from the hips up. My grandmother’s photograph is only a bust. They are matted in antique, carved oak frames that are over 100 years old and hung above the living room sofa. There is a mongolia swag hung near the top corner of one of the photographs. Also, a small shelve and two antique candle wall sconces. I have a variety of other framed antiques such as page size advertisement prints from the 1920’s - 1950’s that I absolutely love! These are mostly in the kitchen. I also have a couple of antiques (not photos or pictures) hung on the kitchen wall and on shelving such as my great grandmothers 80 year old rolling pin, a small iron tricycle, and an old sewing loom. There are areas where I have also hung dried roses and other flowers. My hallway is full of photographs of my kids and pets. My bedroom has two wall murals painted by a good friend of mine. The larger mural is a painting taken from the movie _Legend_ (the scene when the two unicorns come out of the forest and rear-up towards each other in the stream), and the other of a twisted tree with a fairy sitting the branches. ## My youngest son’s room is done in Utah Jazz decoration and wallpaper and has large framed sports posters. My oldest son is a combination of Cindy Crawford and the other flavor of the months. My daughter - well. . . . . it changes daily. Right now her walls are covered with cut outs of things cut from bizarre magazine pictures (large bumble bees, flowers, spiders, dragons). She cut out the faces and super-imposed photographs of her friends faces. It’s weird but kind of cool. \>^,^\< KITTEN If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic. ---

I have nothing hanging on my walls, in any room (I mean zero, nada, zip, zilch). Also, nothing is to be left on the countertops. My husband likes everything put away, out of site. I’m only somewhat reliable at clearing the counters, but hey, he puts up with my lack of house cleaning and cooking skills. ---

My apartment sports a number of framed posters by a very popular local graphic artist named Monty Dollack – brightly colored, cheerful, and beautifully drawn. My office walls are bare, though I’m thinking of drawing a window on one wall so I can at least pretend that I have one. ---
