Fenton…. pretty please… would you pour me a small brandy….gonna have some of my world .. ok, Ballard County famous apple pie with it….and then go try to sleep.
Gotta get up way before my normal time, but I’m not used to going to bed this early.
Yeah yeah… it’s already very late to most people…. but guys like you and Sid, who work all night, know just what I mean.
Just because you’re off on a Tuesday night, it doesn’t mean you can go to the doctor Wednesday at 9am….what?… right… I mean vet….
OKAY… calm down…. it was just an example… What if you’re sick?Don’t you go to the v….Right, I’m sure chewing grass in the back yard will cure anything….Is that what’s on your employee health plan?
When I was a child, I loved visiting the dollhouse rooms at our Museum of Science and Industry. I see from THIS article that it was opened there when I was around 12 The plates on the dining table are made of gold (cutlery too) and crystal glasses all to scale and tapestries are real needlepoint (not prints or painted).It was difficult to select which of the other rooms to show. I recommend that you take the entire tour online when you have time. Although, today is museum day for those who prearranged tickets online (they were free just for today- every year).
@StelLoved the link too! I noticed a lot of people at what seems to be a MC Garage Sale! The next time they have one, WE ARE ALL GOING!!! Maybe we could take the boat? Sail up the East Coast?I looked at all the furnishings, then looked at all my furnishings, sigh.
The only things that I bought that whimsical are a few chairs from Design Toscano The lion chair is my favorite to watch TV and the other large chair I have is this oneThe other chairs around this room are whatever I found with enough carved wood detailing to blend in. Any that needed new fabric got covered either in a red tapestry or red velvet. (I also have quite a few garden statues from them in resin – besides the bronze cranes for the waterfall)
My pinky can fit behind the teeth on the lion’s heads (both on the arms of my TV chair and the legs of the other).
The stuff at that other store would not fin anywhere in my house (my LR opens with 2 archways right into the kitchen). Most of the wood furniture that I put in my bedroom, I painted or covered with capiz shell but painted are all gold. The variety of flowers all over the walls (and silk ones entwined on stuff) are quite enough whimsy without patterns on the furniture.
I just MAY do something patterned if I replace the bureaus though (if which case I WILL finally do hardwood on the floors up there I planned that before my last layoff and I also wanted to add a raised ceiling area with a sky mural and rope light. Bedroom is currently just 9’ ceiling, but the peak of the house is above and one switch by the door is wired for a fan but a dimmer light above the bed is much nicer.
BEWARE: The you-know-who is on the loose again, She tagged me on Overboard. Her reply was head-shaking to say the least. I told her to not mess with me! I don’t show them often, but I DO have teeth!
Stephen is making a scale model of the sitting room, in the sitting room itelf. The model will have to contain a scale model of the scale model, as will that model, and so on.

It’s beautiful…. And it puts the “Child’s” in Mackenzie-Childs.
(well, except they’d better keep their cotton-pickin’ little paws OFF of it, I’m sure.)

Must be some early personal childhood trauma attached in here somewhere.
