We're back from Moncton, and David's procedure went swimmingly. He's so relieved, now that it's over, that he's practically skipping around the house! Happiness abounds ...
Here's a couple of photos of the John Ottewill William and Mary table David gave me for my birthday.
Isn't it gorgeous? The compass rose marquetry on the top is perfect, and I love the curved stretchers and the tiny drawer. It's the most exquisite piece in the house!
And here's a shot I took tonight through the parlour door:
That's Sir Isaac Newton to the right of the chimney breast :)

WOW, Nina, what an amazing table! I am sometimes astonished by the precision of some people's work! Happy belated birthday! Your house is looking beautiful, especially for something that is still only half built! (I have a hard time getting used to this process of completing one room before doing the next floor!) :)

Oh joy! I just found this blog while googling "architecture tudor panelling floors" etc for some reference pics for my looooooooong-planned rendition of the Library at Manderley, from Rebecca. May have to delay going back downstairs to the workroom while I look through your past postings.
