I see from the convention roster that Jacqueline Kerr Dieber will be there as a vendor. Hope you are able to visit her 'booth' and see her wares. I'm so envious--I love Chicago, and I love the miniature shows. But I am so happy you are able to get away for such a 'fab' weekend. <br />Peace and love always,<br />Dottyedottyebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11191550881724952503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-6828883688260061612012-04-10T13:49:17.303-05:002012-04-10T13:49:17.303-05:00Hello John,

(It's NOT finished, Pedrete --don't worry)! I think I'll try the steel wool, Giac, since the fine sandpaper was such a bust. Have a great week!<br /><br />--John XOJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792529272804861727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-28437057869235637972012-04-09T10:57:35.380-05:002012-04-09T10:57:35.380-05:00Happy Easter, John.

In my (very limited) experience with shellac I have always sanded between coats, but only very lightly and with a very fine grain. With a couple of coats you should be able to lightly sand without taking off the stain.<br /><br />I saw that I missed your previous post. Like you I also like to work with matt board <i>and</i> spray adhesive. It has always worked well for me! The only thing I am now slightly worried about is what the adhesive will do to the paper over time. That said, the first rooms in my house have been in for nine years now, and the wallpaper - which has been put up using spray adhesive- is looking as good as it did nine years ago. <br /><br />Have a happy Easter John!Josjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587534499301417219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-91774371363361782102012-04-08T02:45:14.256-05:002012-04-08T02:45:14.256-05:00Hey Kiddo

I really love this room, I think it's my favourite so far. I particularly like the tall windows, and remember your posts when you were making them from scratch.
