Kassandra's new home is finally finished!

It's a great day today!  The house construction is finally over.  Kassandra is over the Moon, and now she just wants to decorate, decorate, decorate!

We started work today by finishing the library's ceiling.  Kassandra found some really nice ceiling decorations at Miniature Wallpaper.  The paper is of very good quality, and they ship them inside a cardboard roll, so it will get to you without any wrinkles or damage.  However, in our case, it was impossible to make it flat, even though it was put under some weight for more than a week.  We managed to work with it, and since it is thick, it was not affected by the manipulation.

We started by taking measures to put the two sheets together: 

It looks better in the picture.  It is darker in real lifer.

When working, Kassandra was disappointed to find that they had included a copyright notice in the same wallpaper, forcing us to take out a strip of about 0.5 cm:

 The good thing is that the sheet tile very well, and we had a very nice piece of paper when we finished:

We had to hold it with something because it kept rolling on itself...

 

But the final set up was grandiose!  Kassandra was very happy with the final look:



She got a new carpet from Ana Circea's shop

Finished the library, we started with the living room's ceiling.  We proceeded the same as in the library: took measures, mounted the sheets, and applied them to the ceiling:



Kassandra says she loves how bright and big the room looks now.  She is also happy that the stairs hole  is finally covered.  She says the next thing to do here is to hang some pictures on the walls.  Do you see the picture of the lady next to the aquarium?  Kassandra says it is featured in the intro of a vampire TV show that she loves.

And finally, we went to the conservatory, to mount a carved ceiling piece:


It only lacks a lamp now, which is already on its way...

 We are very happy of today's day of work!
