The work is progressing! Another room of the house is done. This time, it was The Magic Shoppe turn. The easiest of the rooms to do: just three straight walls. It only took me a morning to do everything.
As always, I started by stripping clean the walls. Well, "clean" is probably not a good word, considering the stains...
For the shop, I used another of Ana's wallpapers.
This one looks straight out of a Tim Burton movie - I love stripes! As
always, I took measurements and modified the design to fit them. I was
lucky enough that the printed sheet covers almost from floor to
ceiling. However, I had to add a bit of a cornice at the top, as I was
lacking just 1 cm for it to fit perfectly.

Despite my efforts I could not get the right wall to cover completely the corner, but I am not worried because the shop shelves will cover the mistake and it will not be visible. The shop now looks much better than before, even though the decorative panels are not very noticeable - only to customers that sit to have a seánce with Kassandra...
As you can see, there are still plenty of stuff to do with the walls. I have not yet decided which pictures I am going to hang again, or where, same with the wall shelves, so I will leave that for when I am finished with all the rooms in the house.
The next room will be challenging: the parlor is conected to the hall with a flight of stairs that has lots of steps! It is going to take some time and a lot of trial and error. We'll see how that goes...
