So my vision of now 3.5 years is fairly complete. The "Grand Hallway" emerges from the master suite and descends into the study.

On the wall are hanging a pair of Venetian Masks, as props of course for the descent into an octagonal study where every wall and ceiling is finished in Venetian plaster. This study overlooks the blanket of stars that is Paradise Valley and the City of Phoenix.

No Carnival here, but deco'd up just the same. I finally ceremoniously removed the paint tape.
