Hallways are papered

By dint of staying up till 10 pm last night and getting up somewhere before 5 am, I was able to get the hallways papered. 
True - they will mostly not be seen but it makes me happy to have them done.
The bit of unfinished baseboard I propped upstairs was just for effect.  It will, of course be painted BROWN.
And once doors are in they will be standing open all the time just so I can look into my hallways.
These hallways are fully 3 1/2" wide, nice and generous.

Here is one of those shots I so love, as if I were mini and "looking down the hallway."   It makes me feel like an inhabitant.

Below is a better view of the wall-paper and the dado, oh so perfectly Late-Victorian.

If I can't have it in real life I can have it in 12th scale.

Construction is messy

The construction crew has been back at work on Ariel/Sapiens.   The halls needed to be deeper and it was decided that there will be bathrooms, plural.  
I must admit I was very inspired by Hambleton Hall's bathroom (http://hambletonhall.blogspot.com/) and I hope to have one very like it, in spirit at least.

Here is a view of an enlarged, well, deepened hall one papered, one yet to be.



























And the whole edifice now is 54" wide.  I made many other big decisions this past weekend too such as the height of the top half and how the front will look.  There is still A LOT of construction ahead.   It well may end up as 60" wide, maybe.
