Grimmauld Place Build

The exterior is pretty much finished now.  One of these days, I’d like to put a nice ebony wood veneer on the bottom where it’s painted black, but until then, what I’ve done will work.

This is the room where Kreacher sleeps according to the book.  I still have a long ways to go as far as the outside of the room.  I put a red grain of wheat bulb inside out of sight to add a glow to the room without making the room too bright.  I’ll add Kreachers bed and all the family items he nicked when the drawing room was being cleaned out.

This is the beginnings of the kitchen where most of the action at Grimmauld Place takes place.  The part of the floor to the right where there are no stones is where the fireplace/stove will be.  The stones were made from Creative Paperclay and painted with a dirty water wash.

I stripped the wallpaper that I had originally put on this wall because after reading the book again, I found out that the walls in Sirius’s room were covered in a gray/silver silk.  So, I ordered some silvery gray silk and put it up instead.  I went over the silk with dirty fingers to ‘age’ the wall a bit.  The rest of the walls in the room will be done in the same fashion.  This wall section will look much more finished once I’ve put up the window trim, crown and baseboard.

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.
