Salon de Guerre
My “salon de Guerre“ Wargames room, will be the second one in France that I am aware of, the first of course is in Versailles palace, the other of course in in “l’hotel de Hercé” in sunny Mayenne!I finally returned to work on the Wargames room restoration on the first floor this month after spending two months on the second floor renovations. We finally selected the colour combination after charging it from a darker scheme to a lighter putty colour and gold trim on the decorative wood work. The ceiling repair was a bit of work to get it 100%, I moved the communication cables and added the cat six cable in behind the skirting boards. The Exterior door repairs With some new glass and exterior waterproofing has to be done also. We opened up the fireplace again and it requires a little work before I fire can be lit in it again.
Overall very happy, still need to finish off the doors and some detail work, remove the heaters and paint behind them and put them back again (tomorrow’s job) add the fabric to the large panel and the curtains (which Vanessa has made). The goal is to finish by next Wednesday.

Wow. Roccoco gaming!
ReplyDeleteYes, a bit flasher than the garage in Oz
DeleteVery nicve in the lighter colour.
ReplyDeleteI am also immensely glad to hear that you did the work upstairs before moving your living space up there to the benefit of the games room (or did you just fix your painting room in the second floor :)
I moved my painting room into the store room next to the Wargames room. I have finished the bedroom except for the wall tissue and almost completed the dressing room next door, floor and one wall to go, then we can move in.
DeleteYou are continuing to make good progress, Matt! Looking forward to seeing the finished result and having your hotel full of gamers.
ReplyDeleteYes, getting excited. Then tables will be the final addition. Then deviation and move in some of my figure collection, the rest will go in the storage room next door

DeleteVery impressive; needs some framed painting of famous french commanders on the walls, gilt frames of course! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a large number of pieces in mind I have a oil reproduction of Napoleon crossing the Alps 2.6x1.6 to be framed, plus a few others prints I have awaiting framing. I want to frame them all the same so it may take a while to achieve that.
