I hope they allowed the plaster to dry completely, before they painted …..

I recently had spare bedroom, replastered, painted and papered, new carpets and curtains, and new bedding and bed spread. Now when i open the door to go in there i am greeted by a peculiar smell. My sister says its not unpleasant but i feel it smells musty. When window open it goes but now as colder only open for a short while each day.I have tried shake and vac on the carpets which masked the smell for a couple of days now it is back!!! Anyone else had this sort of issue?
