Old Radiator Upgrade Project

Like every other room in my condo, the home office has an old radiator in one of the corners. I got tired of looking at the old chipping paint, and instead of repainting, I decided to order a new metal radiator cover online in a clean, matte white finish.

Because it's a somewhat unusual taller size, I had to order a custom size cover, which took about five to six weeks to ship from the midwest.

The cover shipped flat in a cardboard box with instructions to put it together. The only tools needed were pliers and screwdrivers. It was a bit tricky, but only took about an hour or so. I think it's a definite improvement, and having an extra shelf to display more art objects is most welcome.

In addition to covering the radiator,
it also covers most of the wall's chipping paint.

I look and feel much better now.

It's Showtime! Paranormal Provincetown Weekend

This was the first year I celebrated Halloween weekend in Provincetown, and despite a deluge of rain, it did not disappoint. As expected, crazy-clever costumes and diabolical decor were in abundance.

Though difficult to explain without photos, two of my favorite costumes were the four guys dressed as beach umbrellas, and the guys dressed in pink baseball uniforms from A League Of Their Own.
 
I didn't get to see much indoor decor, but many of the homes and shops on the outside transformed themselves into something fun and creepy...
