My lovely sister

With my sister's help, yet again, the bannisters are now complete.

We also stripped the wallpaper in the master bedroom, to find more dubious colours, and managed a first coat of white - after the man had sugar soaped the nicotine off the walls.

Finally, wallpaper stripping in the dining room has commenced. More hidden treasures, including tiny holes suggesting evidence of a dartboard once upon a time...

Thank you to my treasures for your invaluable help. I'm so very grateful.
