  12. First off, I LOVE the ELO, especially this song. Right off the bat I wouldn't think we had that much in common but I was really feeling the vibe, looking at your space, seeing MY Art Book, string art, and a funky sofa that, while unlike mine, is the color I just painted my coffee table.
    So PEACE! And thanks for sharing.
