I look back on some pics that really are just nice little moments of our time in London and Dublin. A gardener at Windsor Castle.

A royal kitty at Kensington Palace.

I posted about a little girl's bedroom I was working on in April. It was the room with the poodle lamp. I will show it shortly, as we are still waiting for a few key items. Mainly the poodle lamp itself. Backordered since April, the waiting is driving me crazy. We also needed a very small sofa. Not really a loveseat, more like a sofette. Something so very petite, but can fit an adult as well as a child. There are really no little sofas out there that work for a child. Why is furniture so oversized?? We liked the Jonathon Adler junior lampert sofa. But the dimensions are for a child. It is tiny and very uncomfortable for an adult.

So we changed the dimensions, and angled the seat to make it more comfortable. We had it made by a great workroom in Mount Vernon, NY. I got a little tour of the place. From carpentry to upholstery a piece which starts out on paper comes to life...
