Last week I posted a picture of my bedroom and asked you to guess what the oak-paneled walls were really made of. I didn't receive any correct answers, though Tom was almost spot-on when he suggested they were made of paper of cardboard. Very nearly, Tom - they're papier mâchè!

When the house was done up in the thirties, this room wasn't originally a bedroom, or the dining room, or the library. It was something called "the fantasy room" - a room for parties. I love that.
