I would also like to offer further to Bamboo Ben's motto of "no white walls" to include no painted walls at all, the effect is so much more striking when using matting or other "exotic materials" that it really pays to show no clue of what structure hides underneath... Just a thought.. Cheers, Tiki Trav
