I'm checking in late, turning off the computer, after cleaning and moving stuff in the living room and kitchen. I have this great Chinese bronze sculpture (cast) of Shou Xin Gong that I picked up at an estate sale a couple of years ago. It looks quite old, the patina on it is lovely, and the previous owner had a felt base put on the bottom. So as I was watching Dial M for Murder as I worked, I paused at one point to admire the apartment where almost the entire film takes place. And there is this rather large ceramic on one table and looks great. Aha! moment - I took my bronze and put it on the library table behind my couch. And balanced it with a tall brass lamp. Looks very nice!

Off to bed, and I'll see in the morning if this was inspired or insanity. :)
