Last summer a couple of artist/designer ladies who were staying here for a week-long trade show in downtown Seattle made a suggestion which I’ve finally completed. They said my bedroom decor was too feminine – that guys don’t like flowers! (the old duvet and wallpaper were very pretty flowers – I liked them.) And the flowers didn’t go with the living room which I’d recently redone with a nautical theme. 

Jody and Mary swept me up in their excitement about seashells and sailboats – and here is the result. Pretty cool, eh?  They came back recently and were delighted – said the bedroom feels much cozier now, with the darker wallpaper.

 

 

By the way, I spotted this eagle in my neighbor’s bare madrone tree the other day.  She sat there the longest time! There’s a whole family nesting in one of my tall fir trees.  Can you find her?  sometimes I wish I had a better camera with a longer lens.

 

This was one of my old duvets – along with pictures of flowers, even, and flowered wallpaper! So glad I made the changes. Thank you, Mary and Jody!
