Cleaning the Curve. And Pondering a Curiosity.
I’ve been Baby Stepping™ the removal of the wallpaper in the south hall. And today…squee!!!!!!!!…
…I finished.
The interruption of the Lincrusta, and its reeded top trim, is curious. It was there in 1894. It was gone when the circa-1950 wallpaper was installed. What happened?
I do not know.
Replacing the Lincrusta will be easy. The top reeded trim can also be replaced although not quite as easy. My thought though is to see if Dr. Doug can make me an eye-shaped counter which will fit into the interruption, as a place to drop off mail and keys. Perhaps that is exactly why the interruption was created in the first place?
Again, curious.

Too high for a but-in seat? A table sounds more plausible.
*built-in
Leigh, I normally correct typos.
But, yours made me smile so I’m gonna leave it. Please forgive my childish humor!
Hahaha what is a seat for but for the, ah… derrière.
I was confused and wondering what exactly dos this space is on the south wall?
This wall looks so nice without the wallpaper.
Is there any way to get a piece of Lincrusta for this missing section?
The view in this picture holds such stunning potential.
Hi Ross! I know you read Amy Heavilins’ blog (my second favourite to yours, my first favourite). Do you remember the little desk she built in their bedroom, with the tray table with pull out drawers as the top, and the gorgeous curly sink brackets for the, well, the brackets?
I think a curved back version of that would look wonderful here! Something super pleasing to the eye, while also being functional as a place to store keys, shopping lists, cat treats etc.
Of course, you’ll build what you choose to build, and with your eye, it will be wonderful. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the space! 🙂
I’m loving that walls and doors and such are getting done! How’s the kitchen coming along? Dumbwaiter, laundry shoot? Basement? Didn’t you say basement and dumbwaiter etc. need to be done so you can move the lights into the basement? Hope that’s progressing.
Stunning curved wall!!
You can always make a silicon mold and pour an epoxy replacement for that section.
