After staining the skirting board and picture rails in the colour of the 1930's/40's, I've had a messy time sticking it to the walls with wood glue. All but one piece of picture rail is in place, because unfortunately as I started cutting it to the correct length (with my lovely 60p saw off the market), the wood split, so I've just stained some new pieces, but expect I'll eventually have to buy more to finish the whole house.
The 'real' fire is also wired in now, which looks amazing with a flickering bulb in! There are also two tiny holes for the candles on the mantlepiece. I've got light for the ceiling, not quite as period as I wanted, but the best I can find. Can't wait to start papering.
