To Each His/Her Own.....

In order to keep the peace, each of the ladies have agreed to be in charge of one of the boxes.

Since I wouldn't let Tessie have the dressing room, she opted for the sewing room.  Although, what she needs another sewing room for, I can't imagine.  She already has the top floor of the milliner's shop and a shopping bag sewing room. 

She informs me, "I won't have to clean nearly as often if I have more....One gets messy, I just move to another.  I can't remember the last time she did any sewing...Maybe they will all stay clean... Just maybe.

This is only the first coat of dark green and it isn't really dry yet. It will look better later...Honest.

Lettice, on the other hand, is leaving me to the decision making, until I ask a question....That certainly is a change.  For the better....

I ran out of small chair rail that I was using for the half timber.  I am going to give a thorough look through the wood bin before I go rushing off to buy more.

About the time I got the ladies settled into their respective boxes, I looked up and saw Spike settling into the Mystery Box...He does love rooms with carpeting...Think of it as one large bed...

I have one piece of furniture in mind for the dressing room.  This is a small table with barley twist legs that I taught classes for years ago.  It is appropriate to the period of the dressing room... Now I have to decide how much bigger I want it to be and  what I am going to do about a chair to go with it.

I hate to say it, but since I settled the territory thing with the two of them, Tessie and Lettice are getting along....Maybe  bit too well.  They have agreed to stick together when there is a question of two against one...

I may have to hire Zar as a carpenter and then work on Spike a bit to even the odds...

I am off to redesign the table now.

See you tomorrow.

The dark green looks nice. I love mini rooms in a box. The first time I saw them was in a mini magazine years ago. It's such a fantastic idea. It's fun to open them for the first time and then have visitors open them. Okay, back to egg carton brick measuring and cutting for me.
