A little change in the bedroom

As Kassandra mentioned, she was very excited about a new floor for the bedroom.  I must admit that, even though I was not convinced, she found a real jewel for her chamber:

Before

After

 

 

"Kassandra, I must say, you were right.  That is a very regal and very beautiful floor".

"Thank you, dear.  It is another of Evona's designs.  She told me that they are real tiles, photographed in a Teutonic Knights castle in Poland.  They were made in the 14th century.  Aren't they extraordinary?"

"They are indeed!"

The attic is finished, and The Island is ready to be enjoyed!

Today Kassandra and I retook the work in the room of the attic.  Since the ballet studio is finished, she now wants to have available a little space to craft and entertain herself.  

We started adorning the walls with white shiplap wallpaper.  As always, it was challenging to cut the hole for the window, but it was fine in the end:

Then, we installed the floor.  A minty colored, Andalusian inspired design:

Kassandra thinks it adds a Mediterranean vibe to the room.  I think it looks lovely.

"Why have we not wallpapered the last wall?", I asked, realizing we had one left.

"Oh, we are not using ordinary wallpaper in that wall".

"What are we using then?"

"You'll see..."

We started unfolding the paper, and I was very surprised when I saw what Kassandra wanted up:

It is so unlike her that I could not help to say:

"Well, that is a very modern approach".

"You think?"

"Why, yes.  It is now fashionable to use nature photographs to decorate a room".

"Oh, this is not just any photograph.  It was taken in our island".

"Your... island?"

"Oh yes.  Every summer we gather there to spend a couple of months.  The kids love to run in the beach, and we the adults enjoy the peace and quiet.  We have a very nice house with a couple of pools, and we do luaus, cocktail bars and sometimes even little concerts to amuse ourselves."

"Somehow I cannot imagine a family of vampires at a sunny beach".

"Well, not all of us are vampires, dear.  Besides, I do not expose myself to the Sun.  I am not so modern as to that.  But I do enjoy some swimming when the sunset is near.  In fact, I think I will call this room The Island."

"It is a very adequate name, I think."

Some furniture already in place

We are currently waiting on some more furniture to decorate.  More on that soon!
