The minute I saw your dining room silverware drawer I thought of gorgeous knife boxes (or silverware urns - sometimes they are a bit more decorative). This is an example of what I've seen in miniature: http://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/robert-callahan-knife-boxes-189-c-ba9f8fc2f8 or this single box: http://www.artfact.com/auction-lot/richard-simms-hepplewhite-knife-box-508-c-be9c38ca1b<br /><br />I love to look at the artisan items listed from the estates. So many wonderful collections have been sold lately, including Adell Venus' collection and Claudia Estes' Collection. Your work is very bit as special as the rooms and items I've seen from collections.<br /><br />SandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-44037184602480906502013-07-03T21:37:15.896-05:002013-07-03T21:37:15.896-05:00Hi John!

I see that you settle for nothing but the very best and it shows in every detail of this room from the top (and top hat), down! Nothing is left out and or left to chance and the results are a refined, elegant and tasteful display of Opulence! It is Spectacular!<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-26185345270707638472013-07-03T16:05:40.863-05:002013-07-03T16:05:40.863-05:00Great work!

This room is so beautiful.AS my husband said when he saw this room--"the man has talent".<br /><br />Your comment about loaded firearms cracked me up. I must check the pistols on display in Derek's office at Sunnybrook to see if they are loaded! I like the tassel you added--just the right touch.<br /><br />I love the lined drawers--so pretty and so much patience--but I will try some also.<br /><br />I can't wait to see the rest of your treasures and the Bedchamber. I do envy your trip to the Chicago show.<br /><br />Many hugs and lots of good cheer,<br />IrisIris Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00365219260043609509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-44726400499005232962013-06-28T23:30:27.676-05:002013-06-28T23:30:27.676-05:00John!

Guns, Tassels!!! I LOVE that layer of realism.... the Little People will not find anything missing when they move in! And everything is so Elegant! That Chandelier is THE Tops by Far! I don't think I've ever seen one so Elegant in Mini before this! Those long dangling prisms go so well with the sconces and candlesticks you already have!

Stokesey Ware was one of the first tables I stopped at in Chicago, and I left a substantial part of my money wad there.

Yes, I like the idea of dividers for your silverware. ;-)Melissa Bolinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947666806768150776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3726627179512343604.post-75266277693651281442013-06-28T12:56:26.322-05:002013-06-28T12:56:26.322-05:00Hi John!

Your comment about the loaded gun made me laugh out loud (my son even asked me what was going on). <br /><br />As for Google Reader, there is a lot of confusion about it. But as far as I understand it is only Google READER which will stop, NOT your Reading list. These are two different things. The Reading list is the list of updates you get on your blogger homepage (the same page where you manage your blog). <br />So you will still get your updates on the Reading list. I don't use an iPhone so I don't know if the Reading list works well for that, you'll have to check.
