The wallpaper - a new installment!

The tatami room has been completely wallpapered now. It was really nice to see that last few sheets of paper go up this afternoon and look at all four papers together. One little special moment was the beautiful afternoon light that came in through the window.

This is the spot just above where the couch will be. I envisage being a very lazy cat here on a Sunday afternoon! Or will that be in the hammock on the deck...or the second floor balcony? Or the (sooner or later to be) lawn under the cherry tree? Choices choices!

Git some colour, will ya! The red joins the tatami room.

The ceiling and more subtle walls of this room are slightly different to the rest of the house - they are a more grey/blue tone (because of the couch that will go in this room).

The "Quiet Achiever" puts the last panel on the tatami rooms walls.

A slightly better picture of the sink area of the bathroom. I can't wait to see it with the sinks, tiles and wooden doors under the sink.

The back kitchen wall. This is the same paper as one wall in the gekkan (entrance). 

I didn't get any good shots of the toilet walls yesterday - this is the slightly darker shade of the two papers. The other lighter version is also on the ceiling.

The Two Tones.

View without the scaffolding out of our bedroom windows.

Two of our bedroom walls are in this paper. You can't see the flowers unless the light catches them. Tricky!

The other wall.

Kaoru's study has also received the red treatment, and is getting its three sliding wooden doors.

And here's some good news - the lighting arrived. In a few days I'll finally get to see those big dome lights. Sweet.

It looks like a little van, but once the sales woman had unloaded all the lights they took up most of the tatami room. Is it a tardis?

And I'll leave you today with the view again. I always end up there around the same time of day, so once we move in, I promise I'll show you some sunrises and those amazing nights when the full moon rises over the sea.

How we'll always be able to find our way home - the sun setting in the west.

Another day ends in Beppu.
