    The wall paper in the blue room is beautiful. Can't wait to see the room finished. Well done both of you.

      Thank you, I think that room will have to wait as I want Adrian to concentrate on replacing the salon floor first and that's a huge manual job

    The blue wallpaper is a perfect choice and does match to the accessories. Minimum work now with only a few things left to finish. Mouldings are a success and the Green wallpaper is sporting a lovely presence in the salon. When a person sees the before they will know how much work was done to achieve a success. Only word is Dumbfounds in that had to learn puzzle piecing for that room! Great patience too!

    Those moldings above the mirror in the dining room look SO much better after your restoration. You can really see it as a whole now instead of being disjointed because all the missing parts. The blue china room will be lovely after it's done up. I think you're right about maybe a different shade for the lamp though. Great job, I love all the details.

    •  2 года назад

      Thank you Katie, I still haven't had the enthusiasm to finish the piece above the fireplace, it was taking so long. The lamps were meant to be for my bedroom, but the bases went so well with the hold backs and the paper, I gave them up for that room, although they are rather tippy. Cx

    The wallpaper is absolutely beautiful. The birds, the hints of blue, the shade of gray, the lamp, and are those tie backs? They are amazing. This room is going to be marvelous. You have a delicate soft style for your vision and it’s wonderful to watch you create that vision. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I truly cannot wait to see your vision for all the other rooms. I don’t know if you remember I commented that I thought the wallpaper in the dining room was going to be horrendously busy but you proved me wrong and it became my favorite dining room of all the chateau and now this room. The bathroom with all the gold I thought 💭 oh know🙊 what is she doing? Its going to be to much gold and again proved me wrong on every level. Oh I really can’t wait for each and every bedroom, bathroom, salons, hell even hallways are probably going to equally blow my mind. Well done.

    •  2 года назад +1

      Haha Rowena, don't fret, I do not get offended when people don't like my taste, it would be a dreadfully boring world if we were all the same. Not everything goes to plan and sometimes my visions don't always come off! But just sometimes, it all comes together through patience and perseverance. Haha, listen to me! What do I know!

    I used to do art foundry wax pouring, chasing, and mold-making. There are other mold making substances that are more like a flexible rubber to peel out your plaster pieces, or make as a combination set for removal.
    I once made a globe that had to be "sloshed", & another that had a window section cut out, shelled, cast, then welded back in place for a hollow orb.
    (Amongst my multi-vocation, multi disciplines of varied fields.- Restaurant/Bar&Grill Fine-dining FOH/BOH everything, hotel services, industrial foundry, & oh yeah, corporate bookkeeper for 25 years, lol.
    P.S.- I also did industrial sewing, am a home- sewer, could do embellished draperies & bedding, etc.
    Home improvement, I know my way around power tools very well, enough not to skillsaw off the power cord.
    I would Love to come help out!

That wall paper you have for the China room will look superb on all the walls, but would be very expensive and may not be to your taste. colouring of all your curtains are spot on ( in my opinion). Keep up the good work, but try to rest every know and again. X

    Carole has exceptional decorating taste. She would be able to make a fortune as a consultant to help people with bad taste . I love all your wallpaper Carole !! 😀💰

      Thank you so much. But not everyone likes my taste, which I honestly have no problem with, we should all have our own tastes. Some people, like Adrian, just can't see the vision that a room could become. Cx

    The tie backs for the curtains look great. You can’t tell the difference from original to the moulded ones. And that wallpaper for the blue room is beautiful. I can’t wait to see the finished product.

    Fascinating! Do you find the new plaster-of-Paris to be brittle? Also, if possible, please show us how you mix paint, for the plaster moldings, to match the surrounding woodwork. What you have done so far looks really nice.

    •  2 года назад

      Thank you, the plaster of Paris took a few days to dry properly and then I wouldn't say brittle, just easier and lighter to sand. I forgot to show but it was just a scumble glaze and a small amount of raw umber paint.

    I love the dedication and patience in taking the time to get the missing and broken pieces reproduced to help bring each room back into glory. I saw you had a bit of a tricky time with getting the molding undone... is it a possibility of using some kind of a quick release sprayed onto the pieces before the pieces are pressed into the putty? I watch another RUclips channel and he uses a spray before pouring resin. I am not sure if that would damage the original pieces or negatively affect the molding material but just something I thought of. Another thing... and this may be situational IF someone around has this... would be to make a 3-D scan of those pieces and have them 3-D printed? I've seen prices of 3-D printers come down so if someone you know has one that can get some of those pieces fabricated could save time and speed up the small details?
    That wallpaper you picked out with the blues and the birds oh myyy! Absolutely wonderful!!!! I cannot wait to see that room finished!

    •  2 года назад +3

      Can you believe Adrian mentioned the 3d printer, after I'd done the dining room!!! Oh well. I think that was just a tricky bit, but have been told that a little bit of oil on the piece, helps the mould come off easily. Not looking forward to the mouldings in the salon, they wrap around corners 😮

      @ Sounds like a 3D printer would be ideal for the salon mouldings. Save you so much time and effort.

    Carole you are doing such a beautiful job on the drapes. The drape holders look gorgeous you have made perfect replicas so it's hard to tell which one is the original. Can't wait to see the blue room finished I'm sure it will be just beautiful. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸

    Wow, those 2 rooms are really looking wonderful. You are very good with picking colors & wallpaper, Carol. And those curtains will really help keep the rooms warm in cold days & cool on hot days.
    Carol & Adrian, you've done a great job!

    The molds look fantastic...well done! I love the way you pay so much attention to detail, it really does finish off each job and brings everything back to the way it is supposed to be. I love the paper and details of the Blue China Room, it is going to look beautiful. You have great taste Carole and so enjoy watching you bring these rooms back to life. Can't wait to see what you do, but all in time. Of course Adrianne is a big part of everything too as he does the heavy and behind the scene things....can't forget him!!

      Thank you Jane, can't forget Adrian, he makes so much noise! He's saving his energy for the floor removal! Work in the salon has begun! I'm so excited! Cx
