    Pillows are a great place to show off some of your pin collection. A little unexpected but another place you can enjoy them.

    Could you make a sewing corner in the attic. A table and a couple of comfy chairs with sewing books. Another table with the sewing machine or two to keep fabrics from dragging on the floor. If not in Narnia another room close to the beautiful storage area. All supplies would be at hand. The dining area would be more ready to use.

    The light blue organza will need an interior envelope in either a matching blue or a white. My grandmother -- born in 1895 -- had beautiful organza pillow covers on her beds with all different interior envelopes in various colors.

You and Phillip did an outstanding job reimagining the cushions you worked on.Also, Andi's talent is trenendous.So many creative people are drawn to the chateau and to you,Stephanie.It reminds me of a French salon, where artists,writers, and intellectuals gathered.Also,in this age of Ikea,it makes my heart sing to see you highlighting the talent and beauty and craftsmanship of the past!

      I would absolutely purchase the one that showed the old Lalande portrait with the towers before the fire. The one Stephanie mention the towers reflection in the lake with the people walking in old period clothing. I think it was white with blue or gray stitching. It was one of my favorite Lalande portraits I have seen all year. It would make for a beautiful addition to sell in a pill/cushion collection.

    Absolutely adore the cushion restoration projects - gorgeous! Perhaps handyman Dan could be persuaded to rig up some lighting for your trimmings cupboard? It was a shame we couldn't feast our eyes on the gorgeousness tucked away in that cupboard.
    Q: of the pheasant fabric; how many different siblings will Horatio have? It looked like a varying pattern. I agree - the cushion of the day was Horatio's brother, and the beautiful blue/cream/white for the kitchen chaise. Well done! Don't be shy about posting a short of the ongoing cushion progress. I loved seeing it. Well done both of you!
