Daddy Steve: Holly Belle, Meghan, and Daphne never stop thinking about ways to feather the Gregoropolis nest, particularly given the current 'Stay-At-Home' situation. As long as furnishings can be acquired safely, there's no reason to ignore the home front.
Holly Belle: Now that we're stuck at home a lot, we need to make everything as comfy as possible.
Duncan: We're in the middle of a pandemic. How can you think about furniture at a time like this?!?
Daphne: Well, that's no reason to give up on gracious living.
Meghan: Yes! Remember, we are British after all.
Daphne: Now that we have all these great books, we really need some comfortable chairs
for an inviting reading space.
Frederick: And for our literary salons!
Daphne: Exactly!
Sasha appropriate furniture can be tricky to find. Pieces designed for 18-inch American Girl type dolls are plentiful, but they typically come in a very limited color selection...
Frederick: Why always pink?!?
Meghan: Yes, as much as I like pink, I agree it can be a bit overdone.
We recently found this nice, older bentwood table & chairs set that Emile and Louisette
highly approve of.
We probably will need to make cushions for the chairs.
"Made in France"
Emile: Bon! Obviously eet ees of ze highest quality!
Louisette: Oui, mon petite lemon.
We also found this very dignified wingback chair.
It had a small stain on the back that Uli very diligently removed.
Uli: I vill get this stain out if it is the last thing I do!
Kurt: Dirt doesn't stand a chance against that girl.
However, our very favorite new piece by far is this comfy oversize chair.
Auntie Marti has dubbed it the 'pondering chair' and it is indeed the perfect seat for
pondering life's mysteries.
Marco: I have some things to ponder.
Rhoda: Alright, I just about have all of my stuff figured out for now.
Of course, Holly Belle has her own agenda...
John Martin: Both of us share one chair?
Holly Belle: It's not a chair, it's a loveseat.
John Martin: It's a chair.
Holly Belle: It's a loveseat.
John Martin: Chair!
Holly Belle: Luuuuvvv seat!

Oh how we love a good seat in the village and it looks like you at Gregoropolis do too!
The new white is very chic! and will be extra comfy with some cushions.
That wingbacked chair is a favourite, hard to come by but so perfect once it in the house.
The bigger comfy chair also looks like a place to sit/lie/spreadeagle and enjoy a doze .. I mean ponder ! Or a loveseat... dangerous territory for an innocent lad... :)
wow, that's a lot of new furniture. I suspect you and John will be crowded into a corner soon, if the girls have their way! Poor John Martin got himself trapped! Nobody can withstand Holly Belle's determination! He looks a bit....ummm, concerned....
Luuuuvvvv seat! I Luuuvvv it! ;) That girl knows how to get across her meaning alright. Some fantastic furniture there. I am certainly not letting the Rose Cottage Friends see it, as no doubt they will be inordinately jealous as all they have is a table and two chairs!
