It is a fabulous room, so many details and all wonderful to see. I am pleased you posted so many photos, it allows us to have a really good look about. It's fun to have miniatures made by other blog friends also....adds that international touch...lol!
You have a wonderful little house, now I am so eager to see part 2&3.

What a wonderful tour...wish I had that bedroom for real!
Thanks for a wonderful tour. It's such a lovely room and fabulous pictures of all the beautiful details. I love everything, but totally lost my heart to the rosa dress.
Dear Mercedes, you have done it again; worked your magic and created a little wonder. Everything is beautiful but do you know what I like best? the curtains ! the tieback, placed so high and decorated with the tiny roses is something I'd like in real life. And you have found a gorgeous way to display all your friends' gifts. I love it, Rosanna
The room is so C U T E !!!! :)

Der Raum ist so wunderschön geworden... die Farben sind so stimmig... und wenn die Sonne reinfällt ist es wie im richtigen Leben. So ein Schlafzimmer hätte ich auch gerne in 1:1.

Everything is so beautiful, Mercedes, it makes me want to cry. I have a very special little gift for you that I have saved all of these months or is it years we have planned our swap?! Such beauty. I can't even aspire to it all.
Jody--getting close to our swap. Darned work and the bare minimum of housework I do! LOL!
Oh, I am so envious! What a beautifully detailed room! You've done a wonderful job of incorporating all the fabulous minis. I especially love the clothes in the wardrobe--you are so talented!!

An hug

I am totally in love with this. I want to live in that room myself! Do you suppose I can shrink myself down to mini size?
You have done such a great job - so much detail - I will go back to these photos again and again. They will surely inspire me when I get back to working on my shabby dollhouse.
Bravo!
