As I’ve mentioned before, space is at a premium on Sparta so I have planned to install drawers in my platform bed. Using the two wide leftover drawers as templates, I cut out openings for them on the bedframe facing the bathroom. When installed, they will simply run along center rails that I intend to attach to the floor, making this a very straightforward design. This installation will be finalized once the cork floor is installed and the bed pieced back together.

While listening to the news last week, I heard about the taboo on face-touching due to coronavirus. It inspired me to draw this cartoon. Comic relief in worrisome times.

Time for a little social distancing.

An obvious way to create the illusion of roominess in a small space is to use mirrors in abundance – here, there and everywhere. Spartan certainly understood this while creating my ’57 hall of mirrors. There were 6 original mirrors that came with my Sparta – all but one in perfect shape. Now that I’ve decided to settle down on my little Sonoma County ridgetop, it’s time to think about reinstalling them. But first, a quick cleaning. Look at that shine.

The better to see me with.
