Peeling back the layers




It's taken over a hundred years for the bedroom walls to acquire their many layers.




And now, when I am not working, I am stripping it all back. The effect is subtle and beautiful, as if they were large, abstract artworks.




Most of the more recent wallpaper is quite hideous, but this faded white Chrysanthemum sample - one of the older ones -  is rather tasteful.
