I decided to limit the wallpaper to 3 walls with the fourth wall gold paint. Steven asked me to paper the area above the Murphy bed.

Bedroom Wallpaper
I got 4 double rolls of wallpaper from a thrift store. I decided to use it in the downstairs bedroom. First I mixed 2-3 different paints to achieve a gold paint. I painted the alcove behind the Murphy bed and the window alcove. After I wallpapered on each side of the Murphy bed alcove, Steven asked me to also paper the alcove above the Murphy bed. Three walls will be papered. The closet wall wIll be painted gold.
Living Room Stencils
I had planned to stencil both the bottom and toons of the living room walls. An idea I got from the living room walls on Miss Fischer Murder Mysteries. After painting two stencils, I decided to only paint stencils on the lower portion. I will wait to paint the rest after we have installed the 10” baseboard trim and the chair rail.
South Kitchen Vertical Windows
Installed the inner window trim
Stairs stained
The stairs took a beating during construction. I sanded lightly, stained and put on shellac.
Living Room Windows Trimmed
The north window is an original window trimmed with its original trim. The west window is a new Pella window that we found on the side of the road from a house that was getting all new windows. We were able to trim it with trim matching the north window.
