Here's a model I built for a holiday centerpiece last year. The design is based on
Palladio's
Villa Rotunda --
Thomas Jefferson's inspiration as well as my own! I thought it was pretty fierce when I designed it. I changed Palladio's design of a square block faced with four porticos to an octagon. (Fit my dining room table better). A few months ago I stumbled across plans for an almost identical building --an octagon-shaped, Palladian-inspired villa-- that had been built in England in the eighteenth century. Guess my idea wasn't so original, after all. Oh, well!
That's my
Marie Antoinette doll on the stair.
You have exquisite taste in lighting and color.
