<span style="font-weight: bold">Here I wanted to utilize a large niche in the foyer. The tri-panel art I bought was a little small, so I built some framework to go over the niche to try and give the art a little more presence. Yes, my wife likes sea turtles.</span>




<span style="font-weight: bold">I covered the framework with Lauhala matting and trimmed it with some stained wood. Still a lot of work to do in this area, window cornices, wood flooring &amp; baseboards, new stair railing, big corbels for the beam, new front door, etc. </span>




<span style="font-weight: bold">Hung the art on the framework with a little orange paint inside the niche to add a some dimension. Finished it off by hanging some greenery near the ceiling and I was done. The British Colonial vibe works for me.

Hanging this monster by myself was tough. It's 5ft wide and 7ft tall and about 9ft off the ground.</span>
