| "best lichens" |
A couple days ago I removed an old weathered (and falling apart) fence leaving me with a pile of boards. Yesterday I cut'em up and nailed them to the wall, trying to use the ones with the best lichens on them. No, I cannot define "best lichens", but I know what they look like. This morning I ripped some pieces for the top cap. Then I drank more coffee.

You need a Murphy bed in there for afternoon siestas.
It was a hard decision - cot or workbench. I decided I could nap in the chair.
The wood is nice.
Very nice!!!!
Thank you. I like it too.
I like the weather beaten wood. I think I would recognize the finest lichen upon sight also.
Damn Gunnar, the growlery is looking real nice. The lichen was a great idea. You should have been an interior designer.
Also, it's nice to know that J.R. Watkin's Co. of Winona is still going strong after 144 years.
Nut sure why, but their tag line here:

made me think of you.
The wainscoting makes the room...well, that and the Kvale. Lovely switchplate too.
Best,

@Tom, I am not stubborn. I am right. If I was wrong, I would change my mind.
Yo...! I know a place you can get push button light switches with abalone detail. would really get your retro look finished off.
??? Honestly, I never thought of it as retro. I thought that it was just a bunch of comfortable old stuff. But you are absolutely right, it probably is retro. Whatever that is.
lemme know.
and.... don't give me that B.S. you know what retro is. Old fool is retro.
Lookin' forward to giving you the extensive Growlery Grand Tour.
Old Fool is retro. :-)

'Gars. Nothing special. Any medium strength Maduro will do, usually torpedoes - something like an Onyx Reserve.
It's not retro when it's small glimpses into a mind that has always been that way. It's not retro, throw back or vintage, it's just how it is. It could be no other way.
Thanks Jon, for the insightful and totally actuate definition. The stuff ain't old, it's just strongly connected to my past.
The lichen accents on the wainscoting is very classy.
Thanks Paul. I like it too.
