Fall 2007, a beautiful, busy & unpredictable season..My Son is walking now So ?  I will redecorate & overhaul this place very soon.

There's a very  interesting beautiful  series of books on interiors by Taschen & Angelika  on African Interiors, they cover east, north & west & south african design & elements.http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/lifestyle/all/00321/facts.inside_africa_vol_1.htm?flash=TRUE

Lots of ideas. We have alot of art, instruments, sculpture  from travels & stuff. That kind of thing will always be around our home, So far?Our Son seems like it. [He has actual art hanging in the his nursery] He's been in more than his share of  a few art studios -  mine,  my friends, my relatives & I often take him with me to the Local Galleries. We take him everywhere !..I think,  He's going to be well rounded & curious child. moving right along....
