Is he casting his own plaster into tentacle molds he's made himself? If so, what kind of mold is he using??? How is Adam creating the Octopus tentacles?

Is he casting his own plaster into tentacle molds he’s made himself?

If so, what kind of mold is he using???

Mermaids on the wall and so on..... We could go totally bad taste and have Nemo and Bruce above the fireplace. It just screams for a themed room, doesn’t it? Mermaids on the wall and so on…..

Reminds me of something I would see at a Disney Park. Looks like a lot of "Imagin-eering" went into that design! Interesting. Reminds me of something I would see at a Disney Park.

Sometimes you just need a good dose of pink. Even though, truth be told, it's not the highest on my list of favourite colours -- probably because my mother always used to tell me to "think pink" when I was a sulky teenager! Antique Victorian - yes! Like those famous 'Painted Ladies' houses of San Francisco... @Area Rugs, I don't blame you for shopping at your own rug store. That's a much more impressive selection than the last time I looked! Might want to check your scripts, though -- there's an error message when I try for a close-up look at that merlot-coloured Bambooo Shag. Or any of them, actually... :( p.s. I just read where Claudia is apparently the only thing that's preventing her husband from running for President of the USA. Something to do with her wanting to <a href="http://kysstherayne.blogspot.com/2008/01/hot-enough-for-you.html" rel="nofollow">paint the White House pink</a>?

I love the description of Claudia above - just goes to show that design is really more than furniture and colors and accessories, it is expression and influences a way of life. I have a rug I bought at http://www.rugsdoneright.com/ that matches this exactly, it's amazing. They have great hues of pink that's hard to find.

What a luscious shade of pink. It makes me think of candy and gingerbread houses and wide skirts and pantaloons. Alright, the last bit was a little overboard, but it's almost Disney'ish, the light, the room. It would be sumptuous in an Antique Victorian in desperate need of new life! It makes me smile!
