STILL plastering

This is a corner of the "main" guest bedroom just to show how far i think i have advanced in my attempt to plaster the whole room! To the left you can just see how far i have got with the finishing coat and the little orange blobs in the top corner are old onion sacks full of walnuts which we picked last year. This picture shows off the exposed chestnut beams in the room as well. These used to have a ceiling suspended from them and they were a lovely flaky pink painted sort of colour. It took me TWO weeks to clean them off and restore them to this lovely colour.
Short but sweet, back to plastering..the sun is out and it is a beautiful day 10° outside and getting warmer.. it won't last..we still haven't had any snow yet. The last two years it has arrived in great dollops about the first week in February so not long to go now........... Posted by Picasa
