    Looks so inviting. I am not a coffee drinker, can I possibly have tea? Thanks for sharing, looks like your home is coming together. Richard from My Old Historic House.

    My goodness! It is so beautiful!
    Thanks, too, for the posts on the Chicago Art Institute. I truly enjoy visiting there but my husband does not so I have not been in a while. A looooong while!

    Lovely! I'd be honoured.

    I have a question about the two pictures with red mats, beside the door: The upper one looks to be a print of a portrait of Queen Caroline of Naples (Napoleon's sister) and her daughter by Vigée Lebrun http://www.bijoux-malmaison-compiegne.fr/html/13/collection/img/zoom/ch_43.jpg ; but of what is the other one?

    akissfromthepast Thanks! The color on the walls is custom made. Richard tea is fine I love them both! I still need to grain the door to look like mahogany. Andie you don't need a husband to go to the museum. Get a membership. If I were you I would go every time I had a hour and just study one room. There is so much inspiration in this place. The next time I'm in your city we can go together. Stephilius you are right the top engraving is of a portrait of Queen Caroline of Naples and her daughter by Vigée Lebrun. The 2th engraving is a Portrait of Marie-Julie Clary 1777-1845 Queen of Naples with her daughter Zenaide Bonaparte 1801-54 Year painted :1807 by the artist Robert-Jacques-Francois-Faust Lefevre. The original painting is housed at the Museum:Chateau de Versailles - France. I have added more photo's enjoy.
