After much careful scraping, I've found the original paper, but sadly it's not in a good enough condition to leave, unless I covered the whole room with furniture & pictures!
To preserve the design I've varnished over it, and am on the look out for a 1930's/40's wallpaper. I'll also put up a picture rail.
The fireplace is in excellent original condition, and I've ordered some light up candles to put on the mantle piece!
I'll have to drill some very small holes for the wires, but this hopefully won't be very noticeable when it's finished. I am having a great deal of trouble trying to find a period ceiling light though!
