This one took a while but looks great.





 The interesting thing about this property is that everything inside and out was stripped back to bare and left unpainted

There are some new doors, door frames, floors, fireplaces and a nice Italian kitchen.....


.....but the original windows and shutters were chemically stripped clean of 100 years of paint, repaired by carpenters, worked on by french polishers and finished off by specialist decorative artists.

The original cornices were also chemically stripped, moulds taken so the damaged areas could be repaired and then worked on by specialist decorative artists.
Good as new.
The metal balustrades and stone steps were also stripped and left bare.
Look at the detail in this amazing cornice.
The panel behind this bath is made of plaster and painted to match the rest of the pine woodwork.
You really can't tell that it's faux  (these guys are good!)
