Goofy, I know...

but I had to show you anyway! This is a picture of the landing on the stairs to the second floor. Behind this lovely fabric is a layer of plastic, some duct tape and a cute little door that opens to a small storage space. Luckily, I use that space to store fans when it's not summer, so it was a no-brainer to cover this space when The Batman suggested it might be a security breach for the bats in the attic.

If nothing else, this exercise has reminded me how much I like this particular fabric, although it doesn't go with anything. If I don't completely hate it by the time it's safe to open the attic doors again, I might make a new curtain to replace the one shown on the left.
