As October marches on progress is being made on what will be Daels room, the paintwork on the door frames and high skirtings has been successfully removed using the tried and tested method of heat gun, followed by numerous electric sander tools designed for this task, funny how everyone seems to have their favourite tool for this operation, the results are again stunning and impressive. The colour of the skirting boards is again to be dark walnut varnish to keep the same theme throughout all the bedrooms, I`m not quite sure just yet what the door frames are going to be, so far they have been taken back to bare wood, perhaps gloss white? one thing for sure is the concensus that the newly stripped doors will be wood stain, it would seem criminal to paint over these beautifully restored pieces of wood.
The outstanding achievement in this room is most definitely the large Gothic window frame, Dael has painstakingly transformed a painted window frame to exposed bare wood, and is quite remarkable to say the least, this room now has a truly beautiful period piece of craftsmanship as a focal point.
