As soon as I saw the photo of this wall art I thought back to an early episode of Mary Tyler Moore where Rhoda redecorates Lou Grants apartment and includes a huge poster of the number 5. A poster or a original work of art?? Anyways I guess this was popular in the 70's.

Thankyou mdeathstar, it's the one I was looking for!

My guess is that it's part of the central ventilation of the building. I'd see if there was a way to leave some space so the vent can still pull air in though.

When I look at the pictures of the Oval office all I can think about is all the damage to the world that has been done in that room for the last eight years.

Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments. To answer some questions: The branches, I cut from the oak were touching the roof of my home and damaging the shingles so they needed to be removed. I took one large branch, stood it on end and placed two smaller branches in the areas where they were needed to create a nice shape and to make it look full. I used a cordless screw gun and 3 inch drywall screws to connect the branches together. I held the tree in the pot and wedged large rocks around the trunk to keep it in place then filled in with crushed rock. If I do this again I may use plaster of paris to anchor the tree because the weight of the ornaments made the tree shift slightly. I'm thinking about storing the tree in the open rafters of my garage.
Thanks again everyone and Happy holidays!

I love your curtain panels over your sliding glass door! It's a great idea that really livens up the old fashioned drapery. Where did you get it?? Did you add the panels or did you have them made? I would like to find the rods and make the panels myself so I can change then often. Please tell!

Richele, Save yourself some money by visiting used restaurant supply stores. In the past I have seen many different booth configurations and banquette benches ripped out of closed restaurants. You may have to reupolster though. Good luck.

I also agree, DWR is not really in reach for me. I found a room divider from American Signature Furniture in hard wood that has the same look as the Cubits. Nine cubes with drawers and cabinets on the bottom for $499.http://www.ashome.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=22266&productId=58625&roomName=&parentCatId=22416&collectionId=11773
