The Hall
I wanted somewhere to hide my bike and recycling bin. So I decided to put a curtain across to hall, this I decided would need to be framed by something... An Arch would be nice. So the project grew and grew.

The palm needed more light so it has been moved to the kitchen and replaced with a writing slope and one of those new new fangled telephones. Also added a barometer. | |

I may wire this up to a bell in my bedroom. Also I want to get a smaller version of the "Edison Electric Light" notice engraved on brass then mounted on a wooden Pattresse like the switches. |
