So this is what you see if you take a step backwards from where that last
bedroom pic was taken, and turn right. Yes, another fake plant. If it were not fake, it would be dead; no natural light gets to this room.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with vintage seventies wallpaper,
featuring the classic seventies palette of orange, brown, and yellow.
Sadly, this palette does not figure into my overall long-term design
theory for this room, which as you may begin to suspect features a
tropical grotto sort of theme (cf. palm trees).
From standing there in front of the sink, if I simply turn right, this is
the view:
Front hallway, lit by bare lightbulb on a chain. Also featuring the
telephone shelf, built by grandpa. The first year or two after they moved
into this house in 1948, there was no telephone. Now there are two
jacks: one here, and one in the familyroom next to the bar.
Matt has a super nifty metal sign reading "BELL TELEPHONE" that came from
the old Forbes Field in Philadelphia. You can see part of it behind the
fossil fish and grandma's mail. Ideally we'll mount that sign on the
wall, and get a telephone that looks kind of old-ish enough to go with the
sign, at least sort of.
