sorry--wrong image--dashed line indicates interior floor not seat platform. And it's an Islamic sun...tired I guess.

I really like the idea of the cutouts. It does seem to add a more modern flair, not that I would know the real history of this style. On the drawing you show the cutouts with double lines like there will be an insert of the same shape as opposed to just a plain hole. If this is the case can you have the inserts be colored, maybe two colors that match the rest of your color theme to make them pop out more from the wall?

You got it. I'm going to either make foamcore or painted cardboard 'frames' to emphasize each cut out and give the wall some more textural interest. i toyed with using some leftover blue glass mosiac tiles, but I don't think I have enough and the beauty of this solution is that it will cost less than $20. I also liked Patrick's idea of some Spanish moss hanging out of some of them.

Hey Susan, I am suspecting that you are very busy right now. I was wondering how your project is coming and what you have concluded, thus far... Patrick

Since it’s been twenty years since the originally post I hope it’s thoroughly clicked into place
