At long last, restoration of the Nursery is underway.
Research has centered on a circa 1908 photograph of
Ellen Douglas sitting on the Nursery floor surrounded
by toys and child-sized furniture. The first step in
restoring the room was to identify and locate the wall
coverings shown in the photograph. Bradbury &
Bradbury, a well respected company specializing in
reproduction of historic wall coverings, located the
original designs in the Victoria and Albert Museum in
London.
