So--- after collecting a zillion frames, a ton of antique maps, a panoply of matting, spray painting all of them and doing LOTS of "patina-ing" this weekend, my instant map collection is really coming together. One could even say, considering how long this project has actually taken (almost five months, with a brief, four month intermission...) that it isn't actually an "instant map collection" anymore, but in fact-- a gen-uine-bonafide actual map collection. I'm still a long way from finished-- I want it to be wall-to-wall map madness up there, but I'm off to a good start...
An ongoing blog following a young married couple as they renovate their railroad apartment in Brooklyn, New York and a crazy falling down farmhouse up in the Catskills. Both husband and wife work full-time jobs each day, so almost all of their projects will be squeezed into any free second each night and every weekend. Hence the name: After-Dinner Design, though come to think of it, maybe we should change it to "So Tired Design"...)

The fruits of our labors...
