Rainbow room stats: I got them wrong - it's 15 foot by 15 foot with an extended bit that's 2 studs wide (I think) for the closet area on the 4th wall. The ceiling is std drywall over the joists. After researching, I'm not really liking what I saw in the FLOR catalog - I mean, it's nice but the $/sq.ft is a bit high for doing the whole room that way. When researching cork flooring, I found a really great company (http://www.corkfloor.com/index.html) that not only makes tiles and rolls in different colors they also do patterned inlays. Also, since neither D or I are getting any younger, I'm thinking that something on the floor needs to be a bit cushy... so even if we go with a laminate, we need a resilient underlayment over the concrete subfloor. I kind of dig what I found at http://www.gerbertltd.com/rubberflooring.htm... Oh, did I also mention that this room is below grade? In it's own way, the rainbow river is pretty rockin' - but it's clearly a kids room decorating idea. And I like having my room/The Playroom being called The Rainbow Room... makes me want to have a small bar that has fixins for a damn good martini and some good lounge music going as well.... And after last night watching the Graham Norton "come along" in the audience, She wants a stripper pole in the room. So I'm now leaning towards doing maybe a 60s Vegas-y theme with a colored cork ceiling (the ceiling is pretty bad for sound transmission) and fairly plain walls (Ocilla has a good point about the allergy aspects of fabric walls). But we're on a budget... so yeah, creativity is a must in getting this done. Lighting? Eh, I'd like something adjustable like the track lights, but not quite as intrusive into the center of the room. If I could just move them outwards a bit... Skyclad: yeah, it'd work that way too. In that case, you could do the abbreviated version - face east, down the cuppa like a shot and say: "God(ess)! I needed that!" Skylad pt2: I often like to be that way in "ritual," so I'm having to adjust my morning patterns a bit to accomodate the aesthetics of others... Ritual v Ceremony: Me, I tend to be solitary (or paired) with a bit of group work. Others like being group-workers with occasional solitary work. No big deal... it happens like that. Half of one... yadda yadda yadda Baths: epsom salts are great... then I ruin them by throwing in some essential oils and then trancing out. Oh well... Witchy-poo-ness: eh, I get this way every Octiober and it doesn't leave until 1 May or so... gofigyah. Me and my unseelie ways... Eh, time to get back to Life... later all!
