Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

 

   We've never been happy with our bathroom ceiling; the paint peels, bubbles, mildews, etc.   So we installed a corrugated metal ceiling.  Soon after installation I started playing with reflective light and we talked about how a neon sign would look under the metal ceiling.  In our discussion and marketplace search for neon signs we realized that 90% of neon signs are for beer and a wide aspect ratio is especially hard to find.  I joked that the long soffit to the right needed a long word like Constantinople.  Joan ran with it and made a Neon style LED rope Istanbul sign that hangs under the window.  It slowly changes colors.  Constantinople might still happen.  (In case you don't get the reference: Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
