Today I thought I’d get some work done on the linen closet.

I looked around for a wallpaper that would be cheerful and came up with a sample of these toile birds, which I made into a wallpaper with Photoshop.

After printing it out, I started wallpapering the walls…

Halfway done…

All done.

I added ceiling molding and traced out pattern for the hardwood floor…

It still needs a floor and a baseboard…several shelves….and, well, linen. But I love how sunny it looks.

Enjoy.

I spent a long, long time measuring and adding tiny slivers of wood to the beams in order to make the second floor level…

It may not look like much, but it took a lot of patience and Hitchcock’s entire film Notorious (which is, by the way, still as good as the first time I watched it) to get through the task.

In the end, the floor finally leveled off correctly.

And I could finally glue on the second floor sub-floor and weigh it down as it dried.

Next I started cutting and gluing studs onto the nursery walls. Got a couple walls finished.

Cut the two window openings on the north wall (still need to add studs to this wall).

I’ve chosen the nursery wallpaper, too. I just need to photoshop it together correctly before I can print it out…which will be for another day.

But here’s what I have for now.

Still very bare and the fireplace belongs to a different room.

But for now…good night.
