Wallpapering is actually quite good fun...

Well that was fun, I've never wallpapered before and there definitely are some tricks to be learnt (hence my last half dozen strips are the best) but (shhh!... don't tell the wife I said this!!) its actually quite satisfying.

The paper, a nice soft green with subtle fern pattern, is for the back double room, the 'grown-ups' room. Having now fully insulated and re-lined the walls and ceiling we wanted to get a different feel for this room.

Whilst the rest of the house plays upon its beach house wood built nature we felt it important to have room with a little different style and feel, but yet at the same time remain complimentary to the house as a whole.

For the furniture we were lucky a few months back to find a lovely arts and crafts chest of drawers, we have a king size brass bed and are on the look out for a nice wardrobe and blanket box to suit. Add to this some suitable watercolours and oils for the walls and the net result will be a lovely calm haven in which to relax or indeed should you need to escape the excitement of the beach.
