Cool about the bikes and Wow! your home looks so lovely! Love the skins on the wall. 😀
Thanks! The wall décor is still temporary; the pelts will get moved quite a bit as more artwork comes in, I think. I’ve got a springbok hide (no head) up in a corner, stuck up with double-sided tape. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really hold. I don’t want to pount nails through it; any ideas?

That’s how we hold up the kangooroo pelt on our wall. If it gets moved, I just make sure to use the same holes, so it doesn’t become riddled with holes.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

Use quilt clips or quilt hangers. They have many different kinds and they would probably work fine. 🙂
You could always make a frame for the backside with some small diameter dowels (the frame would hang) and attach the hide with fishing line (thin, hard to see and very strong).
Congratz on your awesome place! 🙂 I will be getting ready to get out on my own sometime next year (Gotta save for a down payment) but until then, I’m mooching off of my wonderful parents.
Doubt my view will be that beautiful since I live in the middle of Oklahoma… It’s pretty flat here. hehe.
The only mountains I really see are in February when I do my yearly snowboard trip to the Colorado Rockies. Are there ski resorts close to where you live?Gongrats again! 😀
Well, if you define “close” by American standards, yes. 😆 Davos, St. Moritz and all the slopes of Gaubünden are just an hour away. The Schwägalp and Säntis area aren’t laid out for snowsports much; more for hiking and some cross-country skiing. But that’s fine with me as I abandoned my snowboard years ago.
That’s cool that you’ll be moving too! Do you already have a particular place in mind, or some criteria for what you want?Greater Basilisk wrote:That’s cool that you’ll be moving too! Do you already have a particular place in mind, or some criteria for what you want?
I’m mainly just looking and getting an idea of what I can get for the money, I do have a couple in mind if they stay on the market until next year.
I’m already buying things to decorate my room, and that will match my Dragon. 😛
