THORNHILL CONSERVATORY
The Conservatory is off of the dining room; a window was omitted so that a French door could be added. As for the exterior of the house, it is a large dollhouse and takes up a lot of room for display. The landscaping is not yet finished...my last chore other than the mistress's studio. Because this house is so large I do not have room for the kind of landscaping that the house deserves. That is one of the reasons I added the conservatory. My next mini chore will be to add some hint of landscaping on the front of the house and then I will be able to say that the house is truly finished, if a dollhouse project is ever really finished.
THORNHILL THIRD FLOOR
It seems wiser to post the pictures first and then do the text as hopefully, it will make more sense that way. There are only three pictures on the third floor of my Thornhill as the large room in the center is a family/game room. There is a guest room and bath on the left of the family room and an artist's studio on the right. The studio is not yet finished and the mistress of the house is most annoyed that her special room is missing some important items. Now for the last pictures, other than the exterior shot, that is.
THORNHILL SECOND FLOOR
The second floor hall is a long hall with seating and walls lined with ancestral portraits.
To the left of the hall is the guest bedroom and the library. In the library is a Gail Steffey leather chair, an arrangement done in a class taught by Sandra Wall Rubin, a couple of small boxes done by Therese Bahl and a painting done by Pete Boorum's mother, minaturized by Pete. There is a corner chair with miniature crewel stitching, purchased at a show. Also, on the left bookshelf are pictures of family members which include all six of my grandchildren. and on one of the chairs, a throw done by Bonne Backe of Weavings.
To finish the second floor I will add pictures of the master bedroom and bath which are to the right of the long hallway. The armoire in the master bedroom was built by Tom and decorated by Sean McCaslin. The chest at the bottom of the bed was done by James Hastrich and was a gift from my friend, Debbe Bloom.
