Since my last update I have been busy!
The little chaise in the photo below has been in my stash for ages and I thought it would fit very well in the Morning Room. As it was a barewood piece it got varnished and upholstered. At the time of finishing it I didn't have the two chairs sited to the left but when it was placed with what I did have, it didn't really do it for me so an alternative had to be found.
I made one! I know I said last time that I wouldn't be making any more sofas after creating the suite now placed in the Drawing Room but it seemed the only way to get what I wanted and besides it is fun creating it. Many thanks again to Kris (One Inch Minis) for her excellent tutorials.
Below, you can see my foamboard structure. The chairs are barewood, waiting to be re-upholstered and were an Etsy purchase.
Ta-da! This is the sofa in situ with borrowed cushions. I didn't want to fall into the "brown" trap that I had with the Drawing Room so here, I'm trying for a much lighter, airier feel. My next task will be to find suitable fabric to recover the chairs.
Les Chinnoiserie fabric has been used for the curtains (shown here on the "fourth" wall). I doubt very much that the floral display will stay but is fine for the time being.
I'm glad that, at last, I feel progress is being made with this room as I struggled for a while. Now that the sofa issue has been resolved I'm hoping it wont be so long between posts.
