An Artist and Dining in Greens

A few great artists have been highlighted on this blog. I see so many extraordinarily  talented miniaturist, I decided I would like to highlight them on a regular basis.

Because of his last post, I felt he HAD to be the first one on my list. He is such a humble and positive person. Many of us have had the pleasure of his support as a follower on our blogs. When I visit his blog, I realize whatever project I am working is not quite finished. His work challenges me to work just a little harder.

 I constantly tell him, whenever I see anything he is working on, I get a lump in my throat. It is like looking at a classic piece of art!

He was also the winner of my "guess how much this dollhouse cost" contest.

I introduce to you: GIAC of :

Enjoy!
 
To show you how much influence Giac has had on me, you will see the changes I am making all through all of my houses.  I realized there was a lot more to do in one of my dining rooms. I decided to keep the green color scheme it came with. The door frames will be added soon.  Most of my houses are pre-made, so that overhang on the left was already there . I refer to myself as the HGTV of dollhouses which means I have to figure out how to make this better! lol.
 
Now, I can't decide what size crown molding I should add. In my mind, it seems it should be the same size as the extension on the left because it looks lopsided. At the same time, I believe I have seen rooms with two different sized crowns in the same room. Both the ceiling medallion and crown molding will be gold. 
 
Once the molding is figured out I will add more wall décor and the other accessories I have.

This table is too small. It is just to give me an idea of what I want there. The next time you see this room, it will be very different. The more I look at it the more new ideas I get!
 
This is one of the patterns of molding I have.
 None are as deep as the overhang on left.
 
The closer I look and the better the lighting I am beginning to feel the carpet color is a bit off.

Big and Little PEACE

Hi Friends!

A couple of weeks ago during the big snow, I was telling my daughter I spent the entire day on minis. She said, "that must have been very relaxing." I said, "actually, it was more like peaceful." So, I ask you to notice the new "Peace" gadget I added to my blog.
I hope my blog always serves to help keep you in perfect peace. After all, this is all about friendships, fun times and positive play right? NEGATIVITY or DRAMA!
Sorry, I was missing in action the past few days. My blog was sick. It seemed a lot of people around the world were having the same  problem. There are still a few problems.
Please let me know if you have trouble with it.

I have some new projects I will show you very soon!
Peace,
Grandmommy

UPDATE!
Would you believe it was the PEACE widget that was causing the problem so I had to take it off! I will find something else nice to replace it. But at least...we are back in business again!(I hope lol)
