That means that there are some rooms that are, essentially, construction areas and other rooms that are cluttered with the stuff that belongs in those rooms. <br /><br />Also, I'm still in the process of gathering stuff to get rid of. Cleaning up the rooms to be used to host the canvassing and phone banking required a trip to the thrift store to donate items that I'd bagged or boxed (including a bunch of miscellaneous glassware that and dishes that were replaced by better stuff I inherited from my aunt); a trip to the dump to get rid of some old electronics; moving stuff upstairs or downstairs into different temporary storage areas; and a lot of cleaning and organizing. <br /><br />We still plan to do some detail work in this bathroom, but I did finally get the dragons hung, towels hanging from them, and the shower curtains up. (I say curtains, plural, because one of the shower curtains is serving as the bathroom curtains. I can't tell you how happy I was when I found a matching curtain to the gifted set at the thrift store, since there's really nothing better to protect a wooden window from a shower than a shower curtain.)<br /><br />The dragons, which arrived from e-bay as plain black resin, were painted some months ago. It was a real pleasure to finally get them up on the wall! <br /><br />Now, I'm guessing that my wonderful friends' advice will let you see pictures of the bathroom!<br /><br /><a href="https://wyld-dandelyon.dreamwidth.org/file/586.jpg"><img src="https://wyld-dandelyon.dreamwidth.org/file/100x100/586.jpg" title="First Floor Bathroom view 1" alt="The moons and stars (most of them, anyway) were a yule gift." /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://wyld-dandelyon.dreamwidth.org/file/463.jpg"><img src="https://wyld-dandelyon.dreamwidth.org/file/100x100/463.jpg" title="First Floor Bathroom, view 2" alt="I painted the dragons to match the moons and stars." /></a><br /><br />For a closeup of the dragons, you can check out one of my public Patreon posts: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-bathroom-17680012">www.patreon.com/posts/my-bathroom-17680012</a> There's a poem over there too.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=wyld_dandelyon&ditemid=452424" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
