18. OMG--I had this poster on my wall in high school (early 70s!)

would love to have it again!!

"Relativity", I think was the name of it. I mounted it diagonally, and it almost made sense!! (Almost........)

4. ok yeah

I'd do that.

7. I like it :)

Except, perhaps, for the obvious part where they stopped in this photo: the pain of fitting the edging pieces.

Maybe a better course of action would be to lay it out before the gluing, so you have all the edge pieces cut and ready to go. Seems like you take the chance of the glue drying out before you have the time to cut and fit the pieces, or of gluing in a badly fitting piece.

9. What a great idea!

I think I would like this one in parquet!

12. I see lizards.

One of the fun things about having a terrazzo floor in the bathroom was looking for designs in the speckles.

14. I feel so left out and odd.

Most patterns make me nervous. I like some striped patterns, but the stripes can't be overwhelming. If the colors aren't too bold, I like some larger, less detailed patterns, but I couldn't have them around me for long periods. I'll just stare at it for hours and become a little twitchy.

I make my husband nuts. We've been looking for a new bedspread for a year or more. He emailed a pic of a striped one he liked and I couldn't type NO fast enough. Stripes were too big and bold.

Love Escher, though. I took a class on perspective in HS where I was first introduced to his work.

16. I totally understand. That floor is making me dizzy and I love Escher. However, in this case,

I think a little goes a long ways ...toward... over kill

15. All of the repuke's gold bricks for our floor
