e is the finished floor! I am very happy with it. By just using one thin coat of paint I was able to achieve an
old worn look and you can’t quite see it from this photo but the wax has given it a sheen and it looks as if the
floor has been worn and polished many times over the years.
The one thing I didn’t want is a new looking shop. Although it was once rather grand, time has taken its toll and
although Belle keeps her shop as clean as a new pin, but it hasn’t been decorated for many years.
I will probably make some shelves to go across the side window. It is rather awkward , being two arched
windows side by side .The Kit doesn’t come with interior window frames and as I am no expert with wood work
I wouldn’t even attempt to make my own interior arched frames!
The shop counter will also be in front of the window. I want to have some little tables with toys piled high in
front of the shelves.
Next month the decorating begins in earnest!
