Finishing touches

We wanted to add something a little different to the Jeroboam. We felt it needed something more to give the room local flavour, and a little bit of us. Brian had the idea of adding some very subtle painting around the fireplace surround. He sketched the pattern out on some paper first to get an idea of how it would look and frame the fireplace. He then cut a couple of grapevine leaf shaped stencils to use as a template, for sizing more than anything. He then slowly and carefully hand painted the vines onto the fire surround. It has taken him most of today, but he loved doing it, and I think it looks brilliant.

WOW!
