My second guest room is now up and running. It hosted its first guest the weekend before last...As I sort of seem to do things backwards...I took a booking for it then I had to finish it. It used to look like this:
Stripping the wallpaper I found the final layer and the newspaper backing dated from 1836, the paper had been stripped before but some bits had evidently been just too glued and so had been left...I decided to leave them. I figured that if they'd lasted that long they should last a bit longer. Here they are:
After a bit of work (I am being modest!) the room now looks like this...sort of! This room I have decided to prepare as both a twin or double so that it can suit different people..I took the pictures before it was quite finished and before I could present it as a double so you can only see it as a twin...but it can be both...It also has things such as bedside tables in it now as well. I'll stop now before I confuse myself!
