" Keepin" on working for April....never stops!!!

The beginning of a new room with wonderful walls.
The two panels up, note a planter stashed temporarily on top of a stand,
 looks very interesting.
The wall adorned, will it stay this way?? Maybe.
I do need to add a little paint on the panels.
Closeup details of a 1940's vanity, delightful detail.
Original Birdseye Maple inserts on drawers, a great piece of art and history.
Off to go shopping, more treasures soon!!
