Ah but it's not the new wallpaper I'm trying to save, it's the original Playmobil wallpaper underneath.

Does the original paper not come off?  Mine didn't seem to be attached other than by the surrounds holding the windows and doors - I used it as a pattern to cut the new paper.
I can't remember though if the extension floor paper was loose or not.  Is that what you mean?

I LOOVE those beds! Sylvanian, I suppose... So simple and... BROWN. :love:

Personally I think I would choose a wood floor with more brown in it rather than the bluish tinge (or is that just the photo?)

That's probably the photo, because the wooden floor is supposed to be in different shades of brown. It seems weird that it's glossy though, that only works for pristine polished wooden floors, not the shabby look of the floorboards I found. Ah well...

It depends. Some wallpaper just came loose (especially the paper from the old mansion I have back from when I was young - the glue is withered I think). The paper from the MISB mansion I bought last year is still firmly glued on. And I really don't want to ruin that wallpaper.

Well spotted  :)  I considered bying the living room too, but Sylvanian chairs and sofas really are too big for Playmobil.

I've never had a new mansion so I didn't realise that they were stuck on.  :-[

For floorboards I have used a matt coated picture paper which gave a good clear image but without being shiny.  I used that for the floor in my bandstand.

The shine on the tiles looks so good.  I guess that shiny 'old' wood is not really what you want, but in the photographs, the wooden floor is my favourite; it's a great wood design and so suitable for the loft.

Thanks! I decided to leave it as it is. I'll try the matt coated picture paper Skypurr suggested next time around.

The interiors are finished, for the main house at least.

Second floor:

For the outside, the servant's house and the clickies I'm going to need some more time. For now, I'm quite pleased with it. The Sylvanian furniture adds a bit of difference - until Playmobil finally decides to elaborate on the Victorian theme again.  :prays:

Oh yes, and one major frustration: I seem to have misplaced my box with flower pots. So that's why there are so few flowers in the house  :shhhh:

That looks great :)

I really like the boat by the window... And that tasty cake makes me hungry!

(you're right, the sylvanian furniture adds nicely to it.. and you made it blend perfectly!)

I am loving this  :love: :love: :love:

Each room has an atmosphere and a style of its own and everything works so well together !

A bathroom with an open fireplace  :o ! That is STYLE dear Friend !

I smiled at your Sylvanian accessories in the victorian kitchen since I will be presenting them too in my own kitchen next week  :-[

A huge BRAVO to you  :wave:
