have bought single versions of the
same light for the passage ways. I am
delighted with them and can’t wait to
get the electrics sorted out!

Here we have the cubby hole under
the stairs. It will never be seen from
this angle as the back wall of the shop
pushes up against the stairs. You can
only see a glimpse of it through the
open side door, the tradesman’s
entrance . I will probably just store a
bit of junk under the stairs.

So finally I was able to get the back
wall of the shop in place. I was very
relieved that it still fitted after
papering and painting!
The soft distressed green is so easy on
the eye and gives a lovely feel to the
place.

While at my local craft shop I
came across this lovely item:

It is meant to be used for 3D card making, but as soon as I saw it I
immediately thought of my shop shelves and how lovely this
would look as trimming. At half price I bought three packs, ready
for a moment to work on my shop.

First though it was high time the windows went in so
with the help of a paper template and some heavy duty
acetate I set to work.
Hind sight is a wonderful thing and I do wish I had
made my templates before I put the house together. It
was a bit tricky but once the pieces were cut I simply
ran a bead of PVA glue round the edges and popped
them in place.
