9. COLD, AND STALLED ON WALLPAPER

Marie likes them all.

She tells John to just  go ahead and do it.

Surprise her.

Abby has some favorites.

The moire is just too...too what?  Too something.

 Minus the "Italian Chef" border.

John's favorite is the rust.

 The bedroom paper needs to have depth, but not be busy...

 above is the most expensive choice on all of eBay.
 Texture, but  it's a little....flat.

And an impossible carpet to work with.

(All hand-knotted, silk and wool.  

 They love it.)

The master bedroom is the hardest.

 Large, heavy furniture and fireplace...

(ignore the wallpaper which was kitchen  floor tile, 

 rejected as  too ugly, even for a floor)

Another eye-crosser...a migraine-in-the-making.

Oooh.  This may be the one.

 A tad large, but serene colors?

 Will their eyes cross if they sit in the room for too long?

Going bold on the parlor.

 But how bold?

The extra room for Grandma? Later for Abigail?

So John and Marie are determined to make some decisions 

and to get the house project back underway.

Can't resolve the wiring until the walls are done.

Nursery.  Not usually into hearts, but love the dots and the border.

.

Bathroom.  Pretty conservative.
A done deal.

Not much crackin' in Dollhouse Land these days.

The rooms need papering and

the wiring needs to be resolved.

John and Marie are at a stalemate.

Paper is on its way for the bathroom and nursery.

It's pretty much torture picking it out.

It was 21 degrees below zero at 8:00 this morning.
Minus 31 in some places.

 Even with sealed double windows,

the panes are frosted.

(The plant doesn't look too good, either.)
