After the weekend we gave the sitting room it’s finishing touches. We had moved the furniture back in and now we put up the pictures and the mirror. I filled the bureau and gave the dado rail another coat of wood stain. We added new lamp shades and cushions. We also added new window furniture. We got the window furniture from an antique shop so that it is in keeping with the period of the room.<\/p>\n

The photos don’t do it justice but the walls and ceiling are all now smooth and the skirting, dado, cornice, ceiling rose and window furniture all add detail.<\/p>\n

It was a lot of work for just one room but we feel that it should be the best room in the house and we spend our evenings relaxing in this room so it is worthwhile making it a beautiful room.<\/p>\n

We are really pleased with the way this room has turned out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
