Two Projects Finished

 
 
 
 
 
Today I was able to finish up a little project that I've had hanging around for a while. In one of the books I received for Christmas, I found a photo of the rules for the servant hall of a grand house. I'd already retyped all the rules, but today I finally printed it onto aged paper and hung it up over my kitchen sink.

Last night, despite my initial doubts, I decided to add the white flowers to the Wedgwood vases in the music room. As Giac and a few others commented, adding more leaves helped a lot. But, just in case I change my mind down the road, I "potted" the flowers using a removable piece of Styrofoam.

  1. Je bloemen staan prachtig in deze mooie blauwe vaas. Je wastafel hoekje is ook mooi geworden. Zelfs groene aanslag op de kranen :)

  2. Good idea with the styrofoam, Eliza. I have often wondered how I'll keep my flowers up.
    I love the Rules, they are great and the aged paper has really helped.

  3. Quite, quite lovely, the flowers and how they look. Makes me want to try some. I like your wall brackets too.

    The servants hall rules are MOST appropriate! I may imitate your fine example although I don't know where mine will be put.
    And on reading some of those rules, they are not bad rules.....

  4. I think the flowers look good with the foliage - I really like the white petals in the wedgewood vases - they compliment each other beautifully.

    I'd love to know what the poster says!

  5. Dear Eliza,
    Those rules on that paper are great and your flowers look better this way I think.
    Great job.

    That sign is terrific. Such a great touch! You did a terrific job on the flower pots. they look very realistic and the stand out nicely, but also subtly, in the room. As always your work is perfect!

  9. What a good idea to frame the 'rules' and hang them over a sink. It is very interesting and attractive too.

    Your flowers look great in those pretty vases. I love blue and white.

    I hope you will forgive me and consider it as "imitation the sincerest form of flattery" but I have copied your idea of the servants hall rules and posted a pic on my blog.

    My rules are at least different than yours, I found one (from England) off the internet.

  11. A great idea and one I had intended for Netherton (Small & Stately). It's really nice to see them printed off and hung. The sight of them above the sink means that no-one is permitted to forget them!
