WALL PAPERING

I have not posted anything for awhile but this does not mean I have been idle. On the contrary I have made much progress mainly in the application of siding and wallpapering. I have concentrated my efforts on the ground floor thus far and I need to figure out the lighting procedure. I think I will stick to round wiring and feed the cord for the fixtures through the fireplace apparatus.

  

The above pictures are my efforts in crafting a drop ceiling for the Parlour. I had cut the cardboard and applied white glue to the cardboard surface to seal it and to prepare the surface for painting. I also dressed the cut outs with 1/8" square trim. I then used wood filler to fill gaps and jagged edges which I carefully sanded to a smooth finish. At this point it looked really good and I intended to highlight the cutouts in a gold paint, Unfortunately things did not go as planned, the bottle of gold pain upturned and spilled over the entire surface of the ceiling, so thick in some areas that it looked really unsightly so I had to scrap the whole project.

This is the failed project.

This is the painted parlour ceiling, I had planned to super impose the drop ceiling over the purple paint, BUT ALAS! AND ALACK! THE BEST MADE PLANS CAN GO AWRY,
