We have a splendid inlaid example here at the manse. Came in handy during the nine day blackout following a hurricane.<br /><br />I love the idea of a music room. And a ballroom? I can't imagine anything more elegant. What a different New Year's party it would have been had the Manse been built with one.<br /><br />Lovely blog.

One music room that really impressed me was Napoleon and Josephine's at Malmaison on the edge of Paris. It wasn't nearly as lush as the photos you have shown, but it was functional and very relaxing. <br /><br />That leads me to think of something else. Unless a person lived in the very centre of a big city, where there were theatres, concerts, operas and other diversions, in-house entertainment must have been really important. Bridge and other card games would have been excellent, and poetry reading, I suppose.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
