Not Quite Ready for Architectural Digest...

Aaaaaahhhhh.

The oh-so-tropical bamboo shades are also in the "dining room".

And we even added some hanging plants  out on the lanai.  Altho, I confess, I may have already killed one of them.  (yikes!)  Hopefully eventually they will be cascading with flowers (if I don't kill them all).

It's all coming along and continues to evolve.

Aaaahhhhh.
