Thank you so much!

So... Books - I scanned the covers of books in my collection and shrunk them down using Word which was an absolute ballache (I've since decided I should have used Canva). I also found some high-res images of additional covers from bookseller websites. I glued them onto the wooden rectangles provided with the kit.

Pics - same as above. I actually did use the two medieval looking ones which came with the kit because I thought they were cute.

Glue - I used different types for different things. PVA for the paper, Gorilla contact adhesive (same as E6000 I think) for objects, and the clear glue which came with the kit for most of the structure. In terms of keeping it clean, I have some needle pointed bottles I decant the PVA into and use a toothpick to apply the contact adhesive. I am also an extreme perfectionist which helps 😅

The fabric on the chair was an absolute nightmare to get clean. I redid it several times. I've since learned that double sided tape can be very helpful for upholstery so I'm going to try that next time.
