Calling All Artists!

If you have slogged through over a week of posts, you can quickly tell we are rank amateurs. We need your help. We covered the old, inoperable, irreparable air vent with lightwood (it is more cost effective than ripping it out). A flat white board with a frame lurks underneath the plastic protecting it from the popcorn texture spray-a-thon. We want to do something decorative, and here are the parameters: it must be lightweight, fitting into a Victorian theme, matching green tones on the walls in the hallway, inexpensive but not cheesy, and not tacky. Just click “comments” and float some ideas our way. We need a lifeline from anyone with taste.
BEFORE: Old Monstrous Air Vent
MIDWAY: Covered Monstrous Air Vent











By the way, the lamps pictured above are the ones we were going to foolishly toss out and replace with Tiffany lamps!

  • Maureen and Gayle, copper patina would certainly be eye-catching and match the *ahem* original lamps. The metal grids looked neat, but might be too heavy. I just came across a site which specializes in Victorian looking woodwork. They have ceiling medallions--our living room and dining room have them.
