Upgrade for the terrace

Yesterday Kassandra wanted to do another makeover.  She insisted she had found a lovely Spanish tile for the terrace, and nothing would convince her to maybe wait because she could change her mind again.

So we stripped the terrace of the previous floor and installed the new.  Even I must admit that the change suits the terrace well:

Before

After

"I'll admit, Kassandra, that the new floor is very pretty".

"Isn't it?  I absolutely love the central ornamental piece!  The other tiles just looked old, and since this is a new and modern home I did not like that.  Besides, the lady that made this floor is really talented.  I also bought from her the floor in the conservatory.  I must admit that I peruse her new creations often..."

"Surely you won't pretend to change another floor, will you?"

"Oh, no, dear, not anymore.  I think I am happy now will all my choices.  But in the future, who knows...?"

Working in the conservatory

Remember that Kassandra's new place has a conservatory?  We have been working on it for some days, and today we almost finished, except for a couple of details.

Remember that the conservatory already had a floor?  Well, Kassandra was not entirely sure of it, and so we stripped it off again.  And we started the work.

First off, we proceed to paint a beam of the ceiling in white, as well as the post that holds the door shut - Kassandra said of course a conservatory had to be designed in white:

After several coats of paint, we proceed to wallpaper the end wall.  Kassandra wanted to try out the chosen wallpaper to see if she liked it:

Once again, this is the design of Jessica Cloe.  Kassandra says she is a very talented designer. Then we took care of the ceiling, which we just decorate it in white:

Once decided that the chosen wallpaper would be used, we proceeded to work on the front wall - it has a door and a window, so the first step was to make a pattern to accomodate the wallpaper:

It took a lot of measuring, but we ensured that the fit would be perfect.  So we cut the wallpaper and applied it to the wall:

See the windowsill and borders, and the door frame?  We had the same problem as in the library, so we decided to cover them as well, so the wood color would not be visible:

Then, we put back the magnet so the door would stay closed:

And off we went to the inside again.  We did another two patterns for the remaining windows:

Then we attached them to each other, and tried them out on the wall:

There were a couple of coreections needed, but nothing too dificult.  So, we proceed very carefully and very slowly to cut up the wallpaper:

Having the Sun behind helps!

And upon a careful dry fit, we finally glued it to the wall, and then started covering again the windowsills and sides:

Looks phenomenal!

Then, the floor again.  Kassandra saw somewhere a conservatory with a pattern of black and white tiles with a decorative border, and she wanted something similar. So we purchased a beautiful floor from Pixel Market.  It was a joy installing the definitive floor on the conservatory:

Kassandra loves the black and white style!

 And lo and behold, the conservatory is finished!

We are only lacking a glass insert for the door and a knob for the inside.  But that, hopefully, will be installed tomorrow!

The new scene has been started!

A couple of days ago, I mentioned that I was going to start the process of making a museum scene / curator workshop / curiosities room.  Today the process started with putting the floor on the roombox.

I will be using a little greenhouse that a co-worker found for me some years ago.  It is lovely; it was going to be an organic product shop, but I think the new scene is more atune to Kassandra's taste.

The flooring came from Jessica Cloe Minis.  It is a lovely tile in black and white, which is a combination that I like very much.  I printed one A4 sheet, hoping it would cover everything.  Alas, it was a tiny bit short:

So I printed some extra and attached it to the end.  The joining point is invisible!

Now, it is ready to be cut to shape and installed:

I affixed it with some double-sided tape

It looks gorgeous!

I am very happy with how well it looks.  I have a couple of things already put in place.  Currently waiting on some furniture to start planing the design of the scene!
