Today I completed the fusuma between the dragon room and the second floor landing. This one faces inside the dragon room. You can also see the little awning over the other fusuma and the shoe stone on the landing floor.

These little awnings and shoe stones will be in front of all the tatami rooms.

I tinted white latex house paint with some dark blues and dark greens to make the paint in the dragon room. I couldn't believe how well it matched the paper!

The second floor rooms are supposed to be joined together in the next step, but I am going to make and install the shoji window in the landing room first, because it will be easier to reach that way, since it is in the back, and I am working in a small space.

I will also install the tokonoma in the dragon room before joining that room, in case it is as difficult to get the tokonoma into this room as it was for the last room.
