The blank wall at Smoky Mountain Tower

Remember our post a couple of weeks ago ("We need your help!") about the big empty wall at Smoky Mountain Tower? You know, this one:


Well, we think we have a solution - thanks to our good friend Jeannie in Pennsylvania. Here's what she said: " (How about) a large quilt painted on the wall, similar to a barn quilt painting, that reflects the colors of the living room. More specifically, it might have some of the designs of the quilt draped over the living room couch."

Another idea was a large trellis, with flowers growing up it. We thought about that, but we're afraid that it might require too much maintenance.

But we REALLY like the quilt idea. So we're going to see where that goes. We're looking at designs and colors and we've got ideas of how to make it work from a practical standpoint. We're actually meeting with a couple next week who think they can do the painting for us. So keep watching for details.

Meanwhile, we got our first picture of the almost-finished walkway at Smoky Mountain Tower. What do you think?


We still need to finish some yard work and maybe a couple other finishing touches. But it's coming along. Mark has done a great job and we appreciate it. Hopefully, we'll get some more pictures soon.
