Greetings Gentle Readers,
So here I am, working on the house some more...decided to do a paneled room with Chinese paper....so much for Georgian lite...Thinking this may be painted be a dark peacock blue with a glaze on top or or maybe a buff color.....luckily Farrow and Ball sells small tins! started thinking it was going to be for a sitting room, then it got a bit too closed off so I added an archway...which means it will end up being the dining room or perhaps the entrance with stairs beyond. It could also be a great bathroom.....but, I'm not really planning on having one or a kitchen.....
Some random pieces to give me perspective of what it will do. Decided to make all of the walls outside the house on art paper and then I will install the entire wall into rooms...that way I can really work out the schemes.
The entrance hall floor made from trace paper until the tile arrives from the UK. There might be a fireplace on one of the walls stairway beyond will be cantilevered from the back wall so there will be room for a settee or perhaps a table underneath. For now here's a mod coffee table with Diana and books. The walls are just mock ups.
Just for fun. The wallpaper I was thinking of using in the bed room....doesn't really work with the chinese, but wanted to give the impression of something beyond. I was able to 'win' some globes at auction for the library....this one is actually a pencil sharpener. The chair is one of a pair from Bespaq...have to figure out how to upholster these...thinking they will eventually live in the library or drawing room.
The decoration of this house is going to be very eclectic....pretty much a 'collector's' house with lots of odd bits and pieces an a healthy mix of modern art and 'antique' styles. Having fun playing.....hope all of you are safe and dry.
Until next time.
