All that cheap-assed gold leaf is just nauseating to me.

I used to really love the green plants over the mantel because it would have been consistent with some of the decorative touches present, even with the first Presidents. And, I don't doubt that most of the portraits were NOT framed in gold leaf either. It isn't attractive. It just looks like a cheap-assed attempt at pretension.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
