here's a possibility:

i projected a photo of a flock or birds (using an LCD projector), traced them with pencil, and painted them with leftover wall paint. i didn't want to overwhelm the space while accentuating the height of the room.

not too difficult and not hard to change later on.
good luck!

wow! thanks jason and the rest of the AT team for the shout-out. i appreciate the support!

@Jason1000: thanks! glad you like the lincoln. i painted it but here some instructions on how to do your own. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/closeup/close-up-pixilated-abe-lincoln-094699 of course, if you wanted me to make one for you... :-)

(please forgive the re-post, just wanted to make sure you saw it below the fold)

hey guys- this is kevin from the abe lincoln/blue kitchen place.

@rffriedman re: the yellow chairs - they're from ikea. office chairs, by design, but cheap and fairly comfortable.

@miss.lyndsey: the pulley that i use would actually do just fine regardless of slanted toptube. the hooks go under the seat and under the handlebars at the stem. i got mine on amazon (Racor PBH-1R Ceiling-Mounted Bike Lift)

congrats guys! the place looks great. it's nice that you can make it your own after being away. well done.

thanks for posting my marquee pic, janel. what a pleasant surprise!

hey ryan, you can use "indexed colors".
find it here: image --> mode --> indexed color.
at that point you can choose the number of colors that you'd like.

good luck!

after having seen every golden girls episode (multiple times), my partner *may* have figured out the floor plan to their house (had it actually existed). it was quite a challenge.... matching everything up from internal and external shots. the result was full of odd angles with nonsensical flow. but, hey, suspension of disbelief, right?

hi eicats, cozylittlecave is right. those chairs, like... uhhh... pretty much all of the furniture in our place, is from ikea.

my only concern would be the drain. i'm not sure that a typical plumbing fixture could accommodate the trough. high leak potential? but other than that, i think you'd be set.
