new beginnings for an old girl

Working in the entrance to the palazzo - not so exciting for you, but good work for me!
Before......and after four and a half hours work. It appears to have been painted to look like a stone wall, but I am not so sure that faux marble might not be a better choice. I will have to talk to the boss tomorrow, before I get any further. The more I think about it, the more I lean towards marble, but I am supposed to just tidy and touch up (but not actually restore or alter) what is already there.

The bigger picture... It really was me in my small corner, not quite under the stairs, this morning!
