The idea for this post came from a short conversation that I had last winter with 
This is one of the walls in the house that I live in with a friend. She's a history buff and has a bachlors degree in history. Not very useful these days, but it gives her a really good basis for history. This is the old west wall, pre-civil war. We have a variety of different things on display that all relate to the old west in this room.
This is one of the rooms that have a decorative wall with a theme.
I hope you found this post interesting!
