Here's one more closeup. This is of the Sitting Room. I must say this little digital camera did pretty well for these little rooms - I was surprised. Not fantastic, but good.

The Sitting Room was the first room I made. It has a fireplace (look back on the first pic) that flickers. The cabinet here has some more fun little things in it like miniature HAND BLOWN glass pitchers (from Williamsburg); a ceramic pitcher; a pewter pitcher and pewter cups. Notice the Picture of George Washington on the wall - he was well known and admired by this captain and is highlighted 3 times in these room boxes. Now if you look at the chair there is an oxymoronic little stitched pillow that says "DEACS"....a bit of fun I did after finding a mini UNC pillo and a mini-Wake Forest Deacs pillow. Put them in this Revolutionary War era house just to have fun....can't take this work that seriously, you know? Oh you can't see them well but the little ceramic urns on the corner of the mantel (one on each corner) are mini-treasures that I cherish also.

All I can say is wow! You’ve done a beautiful job, and the details are so perfect. It’s none of my business, but I can’t help but think they set you back a pretty penny.

Thank you for sharing the pictures with us :)
