Flowers and Miniatures

July 25, 2026 at 8:21 am by Claudia

Early morning light.

It’s Saturday and I’m waking up very slowly. Still drinking my first cup of coffee. I have a brief review session with a client at noon, but other than that, I’m mostly going to hang out with my husband. A bit of work on the dollhouse might be on the agenda.

So far:

I currently have the dollhouse facing the exterior windows in the studio.

I remain on the fence about the built in fireplace on the third floor. I’m very tempted to close it off and wallpaper over it. Frankly, it has bothered me from the beginning. I spent a bit of time yesterday searching for this dollhouse on IG just to see what others had done with it. A lot of people got rid of it. I’m headed in that direction.

I need some kind of wardrobe for the bedroom and bedside tables. And bedding.

I have my eye on an easy chair for the living room. It’s really beautiful but a bit pricey. A refrigerator for the kitchen remains an open question. And I need more than  just the piano in that top floor room.

Why am I not independently wealthy???

Ah well.

Stay safe.

Happy Saturday.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.

Searching?
