At last!! The light was bright but not direct sun this afternoon so at last I had the right conditions for a photo shoot, and a working internet connection to share the results - yipee!
There are still some small details (including lighting) to complete but this is pretty much how la cuisine and la salle a manger will look when completely finished.
la cuisine
la salle à manger
These two rooms are full of wonderful gifts and purchases from fabulous friends in the miniature blogging world, specifically:
Kitchen
Apron - Frederica
Canisters, white jug and tiny whisk - Carrie Lavender
Floral plates in kitchen and dining - Carolyn
Colourful French jug (top shelf) - Ana
Tiny plant in yellow pot - Mercedes
Tray - Rosanna Rolla - sorry Rosanna for turning it upside-down and not noticing!
The retro style fridge is by Dolls House Emporium (I think no longer available). It was originally a pale peppermint green, my thanks to my son who spray painted it for me - who would have thought that Warhammer paints would be so useful for a French kitchen!. The badge is an old Frigidaire one found on the internet.
Dining
Basket - Lidi
Table - Mercedes
Cushion - Margaret
Cafe sign - Wanda
Vintage French postcards, mail and pretty box on the floor beside the table - Linda Carswell
Chair made by me but inspiration and pattern by Lea Frisoni
Many thanks to all of the above miniaturists for their special contribution to this project, and to miniature bloggers everywhere for your constant inspiration with special thanks to Lea Frisoni, the Queen of Miniature Shabby French.

Oh Norma, your kitchen is so warm and inviting and wonderful I believe I can smell something appetizing in the oven! Clever lady!!!
wow!! this looks amazing! well done. I bet this is where Emily would cook lovely meals for herself before she goes out to twirl with gentlemen at dances! Doris
Beautiful, Norma. Very Parisian and very inviting!
This is really beautiful! Love the the photos of your work.
It is a beautiful "la cuisine" lovely colors, fine walls, fine door, lovely and beautiful details. Very beautiful and I love looking at your pictures again and again.
The dinning place is really nice and cozy and fits so well in style.
Great to hear from you again.

gorgeous! I love it all- the stove is very nice and I really like the pictures on the shutters. What a wonderful collection of minis from so many talented artists!
Simply gorgeous! Your photos are superb and capture all the tiny nuances and details.
it's like actually being, it makes you want to reach out and touch everything in the photos
How romantic is your scene; it's so perfect. A miniature "dream" .
Oh Norma, you have done a wonderful job (wait was worth it!)
You breathe a Parisian air :-)
I agree with you that make the collection of objects made by others enrich the project of a miniaturist of a thousand different shades.
The sink area is my favorite :-)
Lovely hugs, my friend

Such a cute little kitchen, I like it being so narrow, it makes it so cosy!
Hugs, Susanne
Just lovely Norma. I adore that green/sage colour
Norma, it´s gorgeous! I love your style and the colors you chose and it is so interesting to be able to follow the progress of your work!
Hugs, Sandra
Norma, I really like what you have done so far! This little space has so much personality! The gifts may be diverse but you have managed to put them together so harmoniously that they looked like they were all made by you specially for this.
It is so pretty the whole house can be this kitchen and I can still be very happy! :)
Norma, everything looks so pretty and cosy, I especially like the colors, they are very French!
It is great of you to have placed the gifts of other miniaturists in this scene, how thoughtful!
Hugs, Ilona
A very charming kitchen. I love every little detail and the way you managed to find a place for all the wonderful gifts from your friends. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Drora
Hola!!
La cocina te ha quedado genial!! Me encanta, no le faltan detallitos!!
Besos, Helena
Hi Norma, Wow I love your rooms, especially the colours in the kitchen, on the doors, and all the little accessories make look so real and very French.
Hi Norma! What a charming little space! You have completely captured the essence of a grungy French kitchen and dining area. You have done such a fantastic patina on the cupboards and stove. I also love the sink area and the built in shelves. All the little accessories contribute to the over all relaxed mood of the space. Flower pots on the window and seeing the fridge through the window! You have encouraged me so much by showing all that can be achieved in a small space! I love, love, love it!
une ambiance désuète, pleine de charme !

Your « cuisine » is so pretty, and I'm really happy to help you to realize your dreams ...
I am touched by your special mention to me and my work, I really appreciate it. ♥
You chose wonderful accessories created by adorable artists ( and it's nice to see their names ), obviously it gives a result full of personality and warmth to the fabulous work you made to give the French essence to your rooms, it is me who thank you for sharing this. Hugs, ♥ Léa

Hi Norma! I think that you have a most attractive French kitchen and I am very impressed with the way that you have made a very narrow space seem to be bigger than it is! Good space planning! The blue door at the back of the kitchen. is that a pantry? It is a nice color and the walls are done with such an authentic finish that is very in keeping with the atmosphere of the room. It is all Delightful!
Now what's for dinner?
