Thanks for the kind words, Elaine and Elric. 
Elaine I can't take credit for the ceiling wallpaper idea.  I think that was something that Nickers did and I thought it was a great idea for lightening up the rooms.  Most of the papers were from the scrapbooking section at Hobby Lobby.  I enjoyed doing the walls far more that the ceilings though.
Elric thanks for the offer of the living room and bathroom sets. Right now every horizontal surface in the rec room is covered with PM furniture.  8}  I will probably kick myself later, but am going to pass on your generous offer.

Thank you, the size was a bit of a concern.  I had to steal a table from the living room and fashion a new top for it to fit the building.  I put wheels on the legs of the table so it could be moved, but it takes two to move it smoothly.  I think it is going to stay put in the rec room for quite a while, more to dust! :lol:

What an amazing building Joe. I really like how it all just works. SO much to see, will you be populating it further as well? Make stories, whats the plan man. So many options with this beauty of a building.

I just saw this today.  I was overly busy writing my last research paper for my classes I took over the summer (submitted it last night! - but not sure what to do now...).

It's fantastic. 

Okay, I've gotta ask, how did you turn it around to take the pictures?  I'm presuming you turned the whole table, not the structure?

I really can't get over how much more room it gives by turning the stairs around to face the other way and how I never thought of that before. 

The coloured curtains really give each room its own distinct flavour!

Thanks Gis, I have characters all lined up.  You saw many of them in the pub room earlier.  I am not much of a storyteller, but have one idea anyway.  Have been busy helping my brother with the grape harvest, but once that is done I will have more time.

Thanks for your comments,Wes.  I put wheels on the legs of the table so I could turn it.  I can do it by myself, but it goes more smoothly with two.  Turning the stairs involved a lot of part trimming.  I like the way it added more room in the kitchen especially.  Some of the curtains were original PM, others I cut out of felt.  I am not the best at matching colors (I have a little red-green color blindness,) so I am glad you liked them.  None of my new 4711s were sacrificed in the making.  ;)
