Very happy with the mural.

love this!

Not sure if you are setting this in a period Amy but I keep expecting Rhett Butler to appear around the corner!

LOL!  Mr. Butler probably did have one!  The house is based on the historical homes in Charleston, South Carolina.  They were the "townhouses" of the wealthy, where they stayed when they had business in Charleston, a major port city even before the Revolutionary War.  Most were built throughout the 1800s, and many of them are still standing today, despite wars, fires and an earthquake.  Since 1900, almost all of them have renovated interiors, to incorporate modern conveniences like electricity, indoor plumbing and moving, or attaching, the kitchen to the main house.  But starting in the 1960s a preservation society was formed that set out to preserve and protect them and put in place major restrictions on interior and exterior modifications.  Pretty amazing, considering that the majority of these grand old dames were, and are, individually owned residences.  So, you can't just tear our walls, but today's designers have done incredible work around the bones of these homes.  

No period piece, gracious modern interior, with a bit of classic southern charm.  They are called "single houses" because they are only one room deep.  Perfect for a dollhouse!
