I went on a major offensive this weekend trying to get the bedrooms of my Butterwick Houses done, and I did! But it's going to take some time to write up the details for those and I realized that I still haven't posted on completing the ballroom.
It's simpler than many of the other rooms as it needs a lot of space in the middle for dancing. On one end are two Petworth Miniatures chairs, and a plant stand I picked up somewhere along the way, which is serving as a little side table to hold another Mini From Italy fan. The vases are actually lamp bases from SJS Originals on Etsy, with some Stewart Dollhouse roses inside and embroidery thread as the greenery. I'm pretty chuffed with how those turned out as I think it's my best tiny painting to date. The fireplace is from Victoria Miniland and boy those are a pain to paint. I think I tried spray paint first and it just wouldn't get into the detailed bits so I had to use regular paint (somewhere around here I have a failed fireplace).
I believe I already posted about the ceiling. The wall panels are actually 1:24 pieces from Melody Jane. They didn't mesh with the ceiling quite as nicely as I would have liked, but since it's the ceiling hopefully it won't be too noticeable.
I made the curtains and I am quite glad my curtain making days should be over for a while...I don't believe this project will need any more, thankfully.

At the other end are the refreshments, the punch bowls and pineapple "ices" I created from pluffy clay and embroidery thread. Chandeliers are from Stewart Dollhouse and the gorgeous tables are from Petworth Miniatures.
