If you're in Chicago from now through January 8th I would very highly recommend checking out the
Art Institute's Miniature Rooms Exhibit. It was amazing! The picture below is of one of the rooms and it really doesn't do it justice. It is amazing all the detailed work in the ceiling, the molding, the furniture, everything! The artist is Mrs. James Ward Thorne. Everything is done in 1inch = 1 foot scale. She even used the same materials for the furniture as what is used in real life. The rooms range from the 17th century up to the 1930s.
The room pictured below is an English Drawing Room of the Georgian Period. Of course, my favorite rooms were from the 1700-1800s and were the english country cottage style. I am just so inspired by it. Hope you get a chance to visit. Thursday evenings are free as well as the first weekend of the month for Bank of America card holders. Hope you enjoy!
Tomorrow I am off to visit family. Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy some time with your loved ones.
