Beyond hiding ductwork and piping, I’m taking this opportunity to scrape popcorn ceilings there and construct some storage cabinets. Marlene, there will be elements of both Tiki and Hawaiiana in the new room. Yes, Lucas, there are some of us who love both. The first elements are these Kim Taylor Reese art photos I picked up in Honolulu about a decade ago, several of them signed... Jesse, I’m still evaluating what to do with the steam shower, décor wise. Maybe a mural... Wendy, yes indeed, the windows look across Central Avenue toward the Intracoastal Waterway that bounds our barrier island on the west. The portion that runs behind me is part of an 18-mile manmade stretch that connects the Matanzas River on the north with the Halifax River on the south. It was created in 1890, and, during the 1920s, five steam-powered paddle boats and one oil-fired vessel made weekly trips along this stretch of the waterway between Jacksonville and Daytona Beach. Here’s a view looking out from the bathroom through still dirty windows... Things have progressed far enough to allow me to reconstitute my study... My favorite Sophista-Tiki print, The Lost Village, resumed its place... -Tom
