Part 1 House Construction

I admit it "I'm afraid of wallpapering". My first attempt with the supplied kitchen wallpaper and MiniGraphics Wallpaper Mucilage resulted in unacceptable creases. The wall was put aside for many weeks as I licked my bruised ego. Maybe I can't wallpaper? Today (31 October 2007) I plucked up the courage to have another go but this time I used a sheet of MiniGraphics "Cherry Stripes" wallpaper. Perfect! So I won't be using the supplied THIN wallpaper for any of the other walls in this house. The hallway wall was covered with remnant vinyl wallpaper and also turned out okay.

       

Part 1 Furniture Construction

The chair had already been glued together and upholstered by the previous owner but not well. So I un-upholstered it, stained the legs and re-upholstered it hence the fabric being different from that supplied.
