Poppy's Room

As promised, here are a couple shots of Poppy's room, as it was and as it looks today. Still missing is the final baseboard, and my humble home-made curtains mercifully mask those dirty-to-the-point-of-opacity original windows. The bars are gone — we actually had to have them removed before we could close escrow because of some new law. Undoubtedly for the best. As always, click on a picture below to see it much bigger.
