...yes, the 'entrance hall' of the Petite Maison is now finished!!!I shall run through quicky the making of this room for those who may have not been with us from the very beginning.
The staircase at the rear of the hall is made from a kit, originally it was a straight stair case which I re-worked so that it has a return....I think this makes it look a little more interesting...?
All the furniture (except for the chair & stool) are made from kits.... Since christmas I have been making 'aubusson rugs' ....I like the little bit of added colour!
I made the floor tiles from 'stripwood', each tile is cut, sanded, painted, sanded again & then glued into place....it is very time consuming, but this is the type of work I love the best! The daffodils & the christmas lillie are made from Bonnie Lavish kits.
....I don't plan to dress this window, I like the fact that when ever I close this window, the very next time I look it is open....?, plus I love the glimps of the exterior iron work.
....this corner cupcoard hold some lovey pieces made by the very talented Margaret Crosswell.
....& the little french shopping basket was made here in Tasmania, I have filled it with market shopping & my favorite magazine....This was the first room I started, so needless to say it is the first room that I can now say is completed....!! I enjoyed working on this room & I hope this is refected in the photos.

Linda, I enjoyed this post so much. So lovely. I haven't done a house in so long it make me want to do one. I love the picture with the open window best. So perfect! The staircase looks so wonderful too. Oh and did i mention the floor yet? Truly beautiful work. So so inspiring! Hugs~ Kim
As of constumbre, he has been very nice.
His home is a dream. I think beautiful. Congratulations
Like all of the rooms you make, this one is beautiful again. All of those little touches like pillows, paintings, and flowers give it just that little bit of colour to make it warm and inviting.
Where is the front door situated? I can't figure it out.

Linda Congratulations, it's so beautiful.
I like so much the fist time and now it's espectacular!!
Hugs!!
Linda what a stunning room. If you didn't know better you would swear it is full size!! Love to read your posts. Jain x
Linda, I must say I really enjoyed your pictures and the tour. You must tell me how you take such fabulous pictures of interiors. I have enlarged each one and they are all great, every detail, every piece. What a clever way to show off that orange too.
I agree with Rosanna on your choice of the rug. And that window is already quite perfectly dressed as far as I am concerned with the wrought iron.
I could not resist it anymore and bought a copy of My French Life because the sale was on again :). I can see why it's your fav.
Bonjour Linda,
The final result is gorgeous, the floor looks so good in the soft grey squares. All the little details make it perfect, like the orange and the Victoria magazine spilling out of the wicker bag.
The room is wonderful!!!
And yes, The color of the carpet does add a good touch to the room :=)
I love the details, the little stool and the chair are so perfect!!!

The entrace hall is delightful,
so bright with the color scheme you have chosen is so conjoined.
I love the new carpet, a greeting, Sonia
The hallway looks great. Well done. Even although it's finished, will you not be tempted to tweak here and there?
Magnifique!
I like the splash of color the rug adds.
20/20 pour le français!
Le hall d'entrée est tout simplement superbe!BRAVO!
I've just posted something about feeling like Gulliver amongst all our minis.
Oh...I wish I could come to film one of my next stories in your Patite Maison.It is such a perfect setting for a fairy tale.
Amicalement.
Its simply perfection! I adore everything about it....really wish it was my 'real' life entrance hall! xxxx
A pleasure to the sight and heart.
Well done, Linda! Greatest congratulations.
Susana

Linda, when I first started 'visiting' your blog, I can remember what an impression one of your earlier posts made on me, where you said how you mark everything on graph paper.. it is all in the planning.
Well, it has paid off! You did your planning well and I can see that you expected the best... even from yourself.
Everything is perfect!
Its beautiful and your clever little rug finishes it off perfectly. I love seeing you have a new post on, they are always guaranteed to enchant.
Perfect! Julia xx
It's just perfect and beautiful. The carpet goes so well in the hall, I like the detail of the basket with the shopping. The open window is fantastic,a typical French window. I wish I had such windows in my dollshouse. Everything looks so real.
Geneviève
What a beautiful room it is! It looks so real.
My compliments on your eye for detail and perfection!
Ciao, Helena
It looks wonderful! I can`t imagine how much time you must have spent doing the floor, but it turned out so beautiful! The stairs also look great, and it adds an interesting depth to the room, it makes me want to go back there and find out what more there is to see. Every detail in the room is perfect, you can certainly be very proud of this work :-)
Anne Mari
Oh Linda, this is simply stunning. I know I gush every time I comment - and I run out of words to say just how gorgeous your work is. Bravo.
xoxo
Claudia
It's beautiful, Linda! You are so good with color, your rooms all look so gorgeous. Love your style!

It is an absolutely stunning beautiful room. I love the colors, the corner cubcoard, the basket, the funitures you have made and, and, and. Love to see it is finished for you. I know that the other rooms are just as beautiful.
If I happen to your blog by chance, and did not know that your house is in miniature, I would say certainly that would be a wonderful place to live ... but I can not make me tiny little girl and I can not enter, walk on that beautiful carpet, (here is much better!) lay on the floor my shopping bag and sit on that chair .... sin!
Everything is perfect! pillows, the statuettes in the cabinet 's corner, the lamps, lilies ... window!
my compliments, I am amazed! The house is beautiful for what I could see, you were amazing and you have a great taste!
ciao!! Caterina
Just wonderful! It looks so airy, fresh, lived in; I could go inside and feel at home right away! How beautiful!
Maia
Linda, the foyer looks wonderful! I especially love the open window and the corner cabinet.

I found your petite maison for the first time today and know I am going to come back again and again. It has left me speechless, and I can only stutter words like "beautiful," "fabulous," and "fantastic."
