Mirror

We had a mirror made to fit over the mantlepiece.

It's black with a pewter wash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Office doors

 

These were the French doors in my office before painting.

 

 

And here they are afterwards . . . dazzling !!

 

 

 

Parlour Fireplace

 

The fireplace wall has been painted.

 

 

The electricians have attached the heritage switches,

and reconnected the power.

 

 

The brickwork around the firebox has been

rendered and painted

and mantlepiece re-attached.

(Please excuse the mess!)

 

Progress is slowly being made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parlor painted

The picture rails have been installed, and painted white.

 

 

Then the walls below the picture rail were painted "Peahen".

For those who want to be exact, it's 50% Dulux Peahen in a white base.

 

 

Anaglypta

Next step is to put the Anaglypta wallpaper on the fireplace surround.

 

 

Wallpaper paste on the backs of the paper.

 

This is the wallpaper design - a damask.

Anaglypta is a paintable wallpaper, with a raised pattern.

Once the room is painted, the area around the fireplace will look textured.
