What a clever way to show us all of the room and highlight the pieces as they were added. I'm sure that took a lot of work to stage and photograph, thank you.<br /><br />The room is lovely. My favorite part is how each piece has its own substance, but yet they all work together as a whole while maintaining their identities, without bending together and washing each other out.<br /><br />I bought a stencil very similar to yours, if not the same, thinking I'd use it on a ceiling one day. How smart of you to use it on the floor.<br /><br />Bravo!iseeceruleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05832050471210490044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577038531867279085.post-78266608717058507102015-11-02T17:55:35.400-08:002015-11-02T17:55:35.400-08:00Can't believe I've just found your post.

Please can I come and see it again in December/January?<br />I think you may have started a wonderful trend by showing the room gradually filling up.

It has such a comfortable feel and a lived-in feel.... can I move in? LOL! I also loved seeing the "time lapse" sense of the room slowly filling... as Pepper said.... you can see the beginnings and how all the pieces add to the total effect. Such a Lovely house! It deserved the award it won at the show...... especially after working so hard on that gorgeous Rose!!!<br />Winter is closing in .... we are "hunkering down" over here in the Northeast! I really hope you have more mini projects in the "Works".... your work is so rich and inviting and a pleasure to view!!!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577038531867279085.post-31510387365922486282015-10-25T03:01:58.326-07:002015-10-25T03:01:58.326-07:00The French House is really beautiful Janine.

I love all the details; in particular the Maid in China print, the table made of books, the stencil floor, the luggage...there's just so much detail to enjoy. It was interesting to see each stage as the room filled up because inevitably, you miss seeing something when you view it from one aspect.

The scale of the new painting, and the boldness of it's color provides an ideal backdrop for your neutral reading chair with its new cushion, not to mention how wonderfully it ties your porcelain collection together.... Great choices all around! :D I also LOVE how you have framed and placed the smaller painting on the floor, leaning against the fireplace; a Delightful little detail that really rounds out that corner. <br />Glad to see that the tray of mini treats came in handy as well as the tiny pine cones. ;P <br />I have to add that one of my favorite things about your parlor is the fact that it has 2 well defined reading areas and that books are to be found at either end, with plenty of room for any formal entertaining taking place in the middle. This makes your room feel casual, relaxed, and Very User Friendly. <br />Books are like "old friends" and I know just how much you enjoy BOTH, and so it makes it very easy to picture a mini YOU reading and relaxing within this Quietly Elegant Room. <br />The only question then would be... sitting in which chair, although I think I can guess :))<br /><br />BEAUTIFULLY Done My Friend!<br /><br />elizabeth<br /><br />elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577038531867279085.post-4674025847967755052015-10-24T21:25:57.132-07:002015-10-24T21:25:57.132-07:00So many wonderful details!

I can't believe that the ceiling turned out so amazing. I love it. The carpet makes such a statement and a stencil? Wow. After all this time and I did not know at all. Congrats on making the beautiful luggage. You did it. You wanted and you made it. They are great. Also see the wonderful laid out table with some of Elizabeth's new petit four pedestal. They look very yummy and a great preview to some of her new work. <br />And by the way....I'm glad I didn't have my house finished for 2015 show. I don't think I could have competed with both of you....whew!!! www.beauxminis.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287382888260180406noreply@blogger.com
