If you look at a number of these paintings, you will notice the same background painting repeated. He is not painting on found art, but on reproductions.

From his bio: "His most successful works have been the world paintings featuring oversized, three-dimensional text painstakingly integrated into vintage landscape reproductions."

@rmbnn why no paint? Painting that would make it less noticeable.

Love the colour of my bathroom - a dark colour. Don't love the streaky marks the steam made all in the paint.

What Style of Fixture To Hang over the Dining Table? Good Questions

I'm confused. In the after a single sink and toilet sit tight together. In the after there is a double sink and lots of room between it and the toilet. Were walls moved? Was space taken from other rooms?

I was interested as the before is very similar to my bathroom, also in need of updating. However, being in a condo apartment we cannot move walls, move drains, or move toilet location.

Do tell how this was done here!

I decorated for our life, not for our visitors. We live there all the time, they, you know, visit. If you spend time in the living room (as in the room you live in) then make it comfortable, friendly, spill proof, nap friendly, etc. If your friends insist on a formal space, then meet them in a hotel lobby or other formal space.
