The War Room

Got my budget for the decorating project, from SWMBO. I have the paint and bits and bobs to do the painting.

I need to measure the walls, and order the wall paper, and border.

The room is ready to start work. I first have to take off the existing wallpaper

For the bathroom

Planning an evening sky for the ceiling, with some Staakens and a Zeppelin being swarmed by some night fighters. All in either 1/400, 1/600 or 1/800 scale.

I have the Staakens and Zeppelin in 1/400 card model from JSC in Poland, via ThePaperModelStore, which I can scan and reduce. The kit also comes with a 1½ Strutter I can use that as a basis for some more Sopwiths, perhaps a Camel or two.

I also have a Be2e in card, that I need to scan and reduce for some of them, and a possible convert to Be12 night fighters.

Wall designs added

Here's the mock up of the wallpaper design ideas.

East Wall

West Wall

It looks a bit high, but we have 12' (3.66m) high ceilings.

I haven't decided on rough or smooth wood, or whether it should be vertical or horizontal. I'm tending to think horizontal would be better.

Purple woman is wife, to scale. Height only. Is there a better y to say that? Three really has to be.

WW1-Themed guest room starts here.

SWMBO has given permission for a WW1 themed guest room in the East Wing; Hanging aeroplanes, scenery wallpaper, cloudy sky paint, period looking furniture, photographs, maps, the works. There are loads of cool ideas at Tommy's pack filler. Although I think I'll pass on the resin grenades.

I have the faux painting worked out for the ceiling along these lines, including a starry sky luminous paint design for nighttime.

Auntie Jean is bringing out a 20x30 Kitchener poster this weekend.
