Mystic owl wall

When expanding and renovating the bookshop, I had the idea that on at least one of the walls I wanted to do something special. I had no idea what I wanted at the time, just something special. I have always loved the color blue, so we started by painting the wall dark blue - and then I guess it´s not a surprise we decided for an owl painting on the wall. I had a picture in my head, but I couldn´t find it anywhere by googling "mystic owl", "night owl" or "moon owl", and I certainly can´t draw. But I told the artist I wanted some kind of a mystic owl and an Harry Potter-ish setting. So this is what I got, and he couldn´t have read my mind any better!

Massimo getting pallets
 for our project

Today I was looking at my bookstore - looking so different than two months ago, so much bigger, nicer, more like I want it to be. The bookstore has kept me quite busy lately, as we have expanded and made it twice the size! In doing so we have had to paint, fix electrical system, fix ceiling and roof - and get new bookshelves. The latter is the reason I felt inspired to finally write on our blog again, as it is my very first pallet project. I will write about all the other expansion-stuff in another blog post, but the pallet bookshelf deserves its on space.
