If These Walls Could Talk

The building we live in is about 125 years old. It's crooked and creaky and dusty and wonderful.

This weekend, as I puttered in my studio, I found myself looking at the wall that had at one time experienced severe water damage. The paint was buckled and stained, and starting to peel.

So I idly pulled a piece off. There was a flowery bit of wallpaper underneath. I pulled some more, and uncovered older layers of wallpaper. By the time I had finished, the entire wall had been uncovered, and I had revealed bits and pieces of 125 years worth of wallpaper.

So, I did what came naturally - I took a picture of Monika!
