In between cooking, Tom is renovating the downstairs so we can open our new gallery for the Wild Women in Wilno show on Sept 1. We decided to use steel on the ceiling which gives the place a very distinctive look. We call it "agra-chic". The original idea came from the shop at Dad's farm, where they covered the walls of the old granary with steel to make a new workshop area.

Tom's sister sent us a clipping from some Seattle magazine which touts this as a very dynamic urban look....and Margaret and Ben have done their own house with this sort of steel on the back wall.
