[RotsLoado]

The wall hanging/painting in the navy nook is the only original artpiece in the stairway. Unfortunately I have to make sure(at least for now) nothing breakable goes there. My two cats hang out occasionally in the nooks and they have been known to knock things over. Those red candles have been knocked over so many times I've lost count. And the two kids can be hard on glassware. I do have one Italian, signed, modern glass statue I keep in a protected spot where it's safe. I had it displayed openly and almost died when one of the cats jumped behind it and almost knocked it off the shelf. Gulp. I think I collect pewter because it can survive in my home:>
