Vestibule finished at last.

[plasticpigeon]

Hello all. It's painting seasoin again! I have at last finished the vestibule and painted it. This includes restored stained glass, the outer door out of a skip, skirtings out of another skip, the floor pulled up and relaid as it had sunk, and the walls replastered. The original inner door and frame had a similar green as the bottom colour so I hope this is actually close to what it could have looked like when first built, apart from the yale lock and the mechanical bell which is probably 30s as it has a bakelite push.

Very nice! What age is the property?

 

[plasticpigeon]

Around 1900, I think 1903 but not certain.

Super. It's going to be museum quality by the time you're done.

Very nice, PP. Do I see the outline of a plastic squab on the other side of the obscured glass?

 

[plasticpigeon]

Ha ha, I think that might be Mrs Pigeon, she is small but perfectly formed.

 

[Feltwell]

Very nice PP, good to see more progress. Must try some of that here

 

[LadyArowana]

Well done PP, that looks really nice and elegant, bet it's a great arrangement for keeping icy wind out of the house too.

That's a very vibrant shade of green, PP, and a very elegant entrance to your nest!
