Why do I see them in my mind's eye as Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon?

Bren R.

Stymie - Jack is correct about the TV (NOT the waist ). It's a Panasonic th-58PX600U. They didn't have the professional (no speakers, no tuner) 58" available last year.

Thanks!

Yeah, but which is which?

Your mind's eye remembers...



I did a much better job putting Ray in than Jack. But his expression was a more natural fit. Funny that I grabbed his image from a picture taken on his daughter's wedding day. He must have just seen the bill.

Thanks Sean. I'll probably create a thread so I can post pix of the new stereo and HT set ups. Just waiting for my couch to arrive so my QS8s can be properly placed.

This is our first Mid-Century Modern (MCM). It's kept me busy looking for vintage designer gear from Eames, Herman Miller, Saarinen, Knoll, etc.

I think my front wall (black) behind the screen took 3-4 coats before the streaks and a smoother look was achieved. Make sure if your rolling you follow proper techniques for best results.

Red paint also often has an iron based pigment.
It takes a few days to dry, react with oxygen in the air and eventually obtain a darker tone, usually more like the paint chip colour.
While applying our exterior coat of a deep 'merlot' red trim, the paint itself looks purple while wet.

That is a good point Chess, I always waited a day or so between coats to make sure the paint is totally cured.
