New Carpet and new room

After a long time I decided to add a few things around Manor. Here you can see a modern carpet that picks out the creams, browns and orange of the room. The shelves need more nick nacks, I have some books and frames to add. And a couple of ideas I hope to finish this summer, keep fingers crossed....

This is the second bedroom in the Manor, more modern interior here, early days yet but thought to share anyway.

Manor Dining room

As you may know things are bad in Greece, and everyday things get harder and more uncertain.

In my previous post I mentioned that I would be doing some mini thereapy, well here it is.

let have a look at what is inside......

This reminds me of the the Cricket and the Ant story, now that it is 'winter' I am using the minis I have collected in the 'summer'. The beautiful furniture are by Masters Miniatures. I bought them at the Kensignton Dollhouse Festival. Heidi and her husband are such a wonderful people. The room wasn't ready, hence the delay to display them. 

It's a bit bare at the moment, cabinet needs filling, flowers on table, plants in the room, a rug, pictures.......

With lights on

I really like the colours and the reflections of the light in this picture

a small addition in the sitting room

Orange poppies in vases and a painting

I was inspired by a house decorating magazine to add orange poppie to this room. I found Berties wonderful vases at ebay, (also sells at etsy) I thought these are perfect for this room. So here are the results. This is the whole room so far, still many things to add some to change. Books to make, a carpet, a bowl for the coffee table, more pictures and decor for the walls....... The lillies on the left are from Barb Plevan. This gorgeous picture is from  Amber I liked this art from my teenage years in Dublin, so when I saw it I had to have it. I must say it has surpassed my expectations, its very beautifully made , the frame is very carefully made with details, thank you Amber.

Another addition to the Manor sittingroom

Finished another kit today, its "The Timberwood" by Shoestrings.  The two pitchers are purchases from eBay made by M.A.Hunt in New Zealand. The sedum plant ontop is made by me in 2008. More to be added soon......

Manor House sittingroom, Which way????

I placed some furniture in the sittingroom, but cannot decide on the way to place them

Which way do you think? Photo 1 or photo 2?

And below you can see some of the glass paperweights that my friend Carol made for me!

Some work to show at last!

After a very long time I have something to show.... more to come soon.

The walls are made from eggcartons
