Default a town house
I've restarted work on a town house. I say restarted, because I botched the job badly several months ago. After I finished the mural on the ground floor, I started painting the wall of the room above and realized it looked absolutely terrible. I tried to wash it off before the paint had set completely and wound up with a badly blistered wall.
Well, I fixed the wall, and painted the upper story sections. You can follow along on my blog (linked below).
I'm planning on a parlour, lady's bedchamber and maid's room. The setting will probably be early 20th c., because I think I'd like to put a sewing machine in the maid's room.

Hello grazhina

You're a clever bunny, painting your own murals - it's lovely. This'll be an interesting project to follow and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do.

Thank you, everyone!
I was featured in a section in Jan '08's The Doll's House magazine about miniature murals.
