Chateau 2nd Floor Lights & Miniature Finds

I nabbed 2 chandeliers at the Chicago Miniature Show this weekend and was anxious to get them installed. This truly finishes each room. 

I got a unique chandelier from Live a Little Miniatures and another Clare Bell Brass one. I already had one Clare Bell Brass, so those 2 went into the bedrooms and the hall got the fancier unique one. I'm  pleased with how these chandeliers look. 

Also you will notice some other finds from the miniatures shows. The rooster is from BB Miniatures, and the bench and pillows are from Wilson Santiago Dollhouse Linens and More. The bust is from Ron Hubble. The sunflower vase is from Miniature Cellar. 

That cute teddy bear in the bedroom and the cat in the hall are from Purple B Emporium and the blue box on the floor is from Wagon Mountain Miniatures. I just learned about their painting style. Hinderloopen art - "Hindelooper art is a type of traditional decorative painting originated in the northern province of Friesland, The Netherlands." I guess its Norwegian Rosemaling. The cream basket with green is from Vilia Miniatures. 

In the master bedroom the 3 drawer decorative box on the bombe chest is from an artisan in Italy - Alemikimikiri. 

Chateau Foyer Looking Grand

The wallpaper on the left side had a repair, I replaced the last piece on the left. That was the last thing needed to then install the crown molding. And, then the J Getzan chandelier!

Let there be light!

Finally got my fabulous J Getzan chandeliers installed and am admiring them! I had held off drilling the holes and am very glad I did. The location of the fireplaces determined that I not center the chandeliers in the room, but rather farther back so it centered on the fireplaces. This worked out really well, and the chandelier in the dining room is spot on and is centered on the table. 

I had a small amount of tape to put on and that went well. I hit upon an idea for threading the wires through the ceiling rose and ceiling. I had a large needle hanging around and used that. Wish I'd thought of that when I did the sconces.
