Nursery Rhymes

The nursery is finally painted! Dixie bought me an airbrush for Father’s Day with which I was able to add some wispy little clouds to the ceiling and the armoire (which of course is our old entertainment center from the living room!). Check out the latest pictures in my Photo Album.

Van Cort Pocket Watch

My wonderful girlfriend Dixie bestowed upon me the most enchanting gift for St. Valentine’s Day. It is an exquisite pocketwatch made by Van Cort Instruments that not only provides the time but the current phase of the moon.
