For all the design and the work we create, this post pays homage to the various craftsmen and labour who sweat and toil yet are never mentioned, forget being given credit!
We finalised the wall paper but it needed to be customised to fit the cupboard. No problem, said the wall paper Co. So began a back and forth process that took two months for something that could've been achieved by sitting across the table in an hour. Despite all our guidance,  the Co managed to mess things up.  Luckily, because of the genius expertise of the craftsman who we hired to install the wallpaper,  we have the cupboard we wanted.
I'm not going to tag the Co. 
I would tag the guy who installed the wall paper but it makes no difference to him. It was just another day's work.

For a design idea to work, there's always the excitement that goes with nervousness.
Everything has to fall in to place and so much of it is not in our control.
Fingers crossed for this one!
