We had a sort of lateral organizing win recently.
Eldest ds bought a gorgeous, bargain basement priced print from ebay last year. It's a 3 feet wide and high, signed, numbered, limited edition etching (? I think) of Melbourne, the city we live in. It looks like a pencil sketch, on white paper, of buildings, houses, roads - it's just wonderful.
It's been living in a giant tube near the front door for ages. Finally he took it to be framed, which I ended up paying for. It was a very good price and we were a bit concerned how it would come out.
Well, the framer has done a fabulous job. It's much nicer than either of us expected.
It's really too large for ds bedroom; he bought it to grace his first house so won't be needing it for quite a long while. So, we decided to try it in the dining room. It looks fantastic.
The end result is that ds has a beautiful piece of artwork for when he does have his own home, we have a fabulous centerpiece in the dining room and there is no longer a giant cardboard tube hanging around the house. Perfect!
