More reno's

More reno's have been started this time we're in the three bedroom cottage (Rose). As some people know we have had problems in Rose cottage with peeling paint on the ceilings. It seems the original painters hadn't heard of undercoat. We have had 3 previous attempts at repairs just to find it just peels somewhere else. We're having another go. We decided this time we'll have to scrape it all off right back to bare plaster board.  We've done the ceiling in the Kitchen/dining room and the main bedroom (using a heat gun). It all just peeled off except where it had been repaired previously. 

Then; look out! Tim couldn't help himself. Who knows where it'll end. The wardrobe and draws unit were out and walls prepped for repainting.
"Ohh, Mr Creeper what have you done?!"
We decided that if he's going that far in the main bedroom, we might as well replace the cornice and skirting's with something a bit fancy. What better for Rose cottage than Rose cornice and a ceiling rose to match? The corner work is a bit tricky but well worth it. We're replacing the skirting and architraves with Tassie oak Colonial.  It's all painted and skirting are finished in Danish Oil. We've stayed with neutral colours at this stage to enable decor changes. Tim would like to paint the roses on the cornice and ceiling rose. It's a lot of work though, so at this stage it's on the "oneday" list. He needs a break now for a couple weeks so that's it for a bit. Next will be to replace the architraves and take the window and door frames back to timber and some decorative carpet we've been saving .
