What a great looking space.

I remember i rented a shed back in the 1900s, and it had whiteish colored walls. A bird i had then suggested to me to paint the room in ocher color, and leave roof/ ceiling soft white. I didnt believe her of course, but gave it a go just since it would make her happy. Happy birds equals happy bedtime action.

To my big surprise the change of wall color into warm pleasant ochre made all my antiques to radiate more.

I just wanted to share this, just in case you want to remodel/repaint one day.



Oh gawd, im giving interior related suggestions.... Im getting old.....................

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words, as well as the suggestion on paint color. Going to keep the walls white for now. We used the same color for my son's room in our old house, and it looked sharp. May have to consider it as an option.

Thanks! The helmet with the Russia stencil is attributed to US serviceman who served with the 339th Infantry Regiment (Polar Bears). This regiment was sent to Arkhangelsk (North Russia) in 1918/1919 to fight the Bolsheviks.
