October 2006
Three of the walls are a very
pale green,
while the fourth "accent"
wall (right) is a more intense hue.
The doors, windows and trim
are painted a white with just the barest HINT of green...
The accent wall is for photographs
and artwork done by Liese and her friends
(the mirror is an antique
from the Spiegelstraat in Amsterdam, painted the color of the trim).
Bookcase shares wall with Salvador Dali ("The Persistence of Memory," 1931),
Pablo Picasso ("Don Quixote," 1955)
and Henry Ossawa Tanner ("The
Banjo Lesson," 1893, painted in Philadelphia)
Doo-dads and souvenirs on
the bulletin board.
Note Girl Bear, herself 16 years old now...
The untited painting above
Liese's bed is by Deb's friend Muriel.
The Smiths' greenish poster
from the days of "The Queen is Dead"
(1986, TWENTY freaking years
ago) looks great on the green wall!
Radiohead now beckons you
through the half-door that leads to the attic.
(Bob Marley has been moved to Philadelphia,
where he shares dorm wall space with Clare's Buddha. Two gods!)
Well done Liese!
Don't think anyone will
miss the old
beige-and-burgundy color scheme...
