The mermaid's gone

And in her place, the freshness of a newly decorated bedroom. The matai floors have been sanded and oiled, the ceiling painted 'alabaster white' and the walls papered with a green damask.
Curtains are next, then it'll be habitable.
Feeling a little proud.
(So as not to feel too alienated from our past, I kept a fragment of the mermaid's tail :-)
