Today's house started with a dollhouse fireplace that the WerePanda and I bought at Replacements during a trip through North Carolina.


And some paper samples from my endless supply.


Add some illustration, and voilĂ , a neoclassical mansion fit for the American Southeast.

By the way, if you like the decorative arts, you must go to Replacements to see their private collection. It is amazing.

  2. **blush** Thanks, Misha.

    The background and house numbers are inspired by the city houses in Besançon, France, where I lived for a year in college. The blue and white numbers are common all over France, but the light yellow and blue-grey stone bricks are more typical of northeastern France.
