As they say, "My loss is your gain". At least it didn't go into the trash. You think that wallpaper was something? You should have seen what was there originally. I couldn't get a decent picture, but you could see it. What at first looked like a fantastic abstract 50's modern wallpaper upon closer inspection turned out to be a custom painted wall treatment. It was a stylized thatch design in warm natural colors. Simply amazing! They spent some real dough on this place back in the day! -Duke
