Here is the front door. True to the story, there is trash strewn about along the sidewalk and front steps. I may add a few more pieces of trash as I run across the right pieces, but for now this will do.

And here is the front view of the structure as of Sept. 1st. There is still plenty of work to be done to the roof and underground portion of the base, but I’ve made a lot of progress in the past few days.
With only four inches to spare between the tops of the chimneys to my ceiling, this structure truly is a big one! Not to mention, heavy.
The downspout was made from aluminum tubing.

Here are the beginnings of the entry hall and dining room. I still need to work on the wallpaper so that it appears to be peeling and such. The floors were done in an Ebony stain, as well as the baseboards, crown moulding and door.   A chair rail will also be added and ‘maybe’ a fireplace.

Here is the inside of the main door to the structure. The only portion of the door that hasn’t been finished is the basement kitchen section as I’m still unsure how I’I want to finish the walls for the kitchen.

This photo is representative of the aged and mildewed ceilings in Grimmauld Place.  I used a raised pattern real-life wallpaper and aged it with a dirty water wash.  I also peeled the paper in some places to add to the effect.
