We have a wall in our house where the VJs are not perfectly vertical (I guess they have somehow moved over the years). I notice it, but I'm wondering if anyone else will. You have to expect there will be quirks but they are there to tell a story. xxCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606994564887624801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-61679388572014914212013-09-22T14:12:05.594-07:002013-09-22T14:12:05.594-07:00I think the smaller doors just form part of the st...I think the smaller doors just form part of the story of your house - which I just LOVE.Power and the Passionfruithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00354580606274549933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-42558199219847480412013-09-22T03:25:40.247-07:002013-09-22T03:25:40.247-07:00I think the difference in the doors must be small ...I think the difference in the doors must be small as you can't pick it from the photos at all and I am a details girl too. If it really bothers you, you could use a slightly larger architrave around them to make them appear the same height/size as the others. Believe me, it will become one of those tiny things that a few months down the track that you will forget about. Totally not envying you dealing with those ceilings, my ornate horsehair plaster ones are bad enough! mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-28669240104811246152013-09-22T00:34:13.246-07:002013-09-22T00:34:13.246-07:00Thanks Shazr!

Because we're only replacing VJs here and there and we had a fairly highly skilled builder friend of Dan's staying, they got stuck into the carpenter-type stuff.

But I'm wondering why you are not sanding the VJs while you have them off the walls - would have to be easier I would think! Keep up the good work (but I don't envy Dan the job of sandblasting those ceilings!!!!)Shazrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09321328612639711235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633066708385692057.post-32605400793087424022013-09-21T21:37:44.846-07:002013-09-21T21:37:44.846-07:00I think the whole thing looks AMAZING!
