Chandeliers, including my first Ray Storey!

Got some trim work done to tidy up the joins between the tops of the walls and the first floor ceiling -- some cove moulding in the Blue and White room makes things much tidier!  I also hung (temporarily, because I don't have the ceiling rose for this room yet) the pretty silver Heidi Ott chandelier I bought in England last year.  I'm going to make silver sconces for this room, too.


I was thrilled that my Ray Storey light arrived yesterday! (That's fast service).  It's so beautiful and well-made, I'm just delighted with it.  I installed it in its home in the Library and I think it looks great.  Thank you so much, Ray!



I moved the WAMH to my lower and more convenient worktable so I can make a start on the roofs.  I played around with a cardboard roof for the Kitchen wing -- my original plan was to have this as a fixed roof, with no access to the attic.  I do hate to give up any amount of usable space, though, and I think I'll do a roof with a removable front panel, so I can put a servant's bedroom up there :)  Once I get that all worked out, I can start playing with both wall and roof finishes!

  5. It's nice to get the lights in place, isn't it? I like your silver one - that's something you don't see very often.

  6. Both chandeliers are beautiful. It's the lighting that really adds that feeling of real to a room. :)
