Heffe comes from Michoacan (for the rest of us people who are bad with the Spanish pronunciation, that's pronounced "Meech-whoa-kahn"). Part of the annual Day of the Dead ceremony, skeleton masks are a staple in Mexico, and Michoacan is pretty much the Hub of the Day of the Dead party. Enrique came from Cabo San Lucas. He also is representative of De Dios de los Muertos. Sheldon, being the odd ball, comes from Jamaica. He is simply a representation of Jamaican culture, and looks good up on the wall with his friends.
Our last little friend is our little House Gecko. He comes from somewhere in Mexico, although I honestly don't know where. He's very bright, and looks quite happy on our wall. We like him and the color he adds to the house.
So there you have it, some home improvement and a little photo documentation to support it. Thanks for stopping by.
Great work! It's amazing what a coat of paint can do to transform the room! When I paint, I also end up gutting and cleaning and dejunking the room top to bottom, so it's like Extreme Makeover when I'm finished!
ReplyDeleteI've already warned mom that her next extended visit to my house will include a paint project - my bedroom!
