This is cool. Love that window mural idea. Reminds me of Trader Sams at Disneyland. Great Work.

Thanks forgotten tikiman!
Tikification is continuing, with further inroads being made into the kitchen
The "before" photos:
Good riddance to those bland, unadorned walls:
In addition to hanging up a PNG gope board, I needed to remove the curtains to do the fiddly bits:
And the old white plastic lampshade over the sink had to go. Fortunately I found this on a recent expedition to Wellington:
In addition to which I finally found some flax matting for doing the ceiling:
In the not-too-distant future, I will no longer have to look at my horrible white ceilings...

Sorry for the delay, but I have been absent due to ill health. The good news is that the roof of the kitchen is nearly done and I will have a bunch of photos to show you fairly soon.

Here are the photos showing the closing stages of the kitchen tikification.
Vaguely PNG-style panels for the big ugly white beam above the kitchen sink:
I have no routing skills, but I can paint, so these are acrylic patterns painted on plywood, tacked onto the beam:
The kitchen's white ceiling was also banished:
And I have also painted up some boards to cover up the joins between the various flax mats:
I'm currently waiting for a second pair of hands to drop by so these can be nailed up.
