Here are the latest additions to the Hotel Mame.
I started building it about 6 months ago and it's the first time I spend so much time on a project.
Parquets:
For the Salon, I chose to do Parquet Versailles. It is quite long to do as each square (5cm X 5cm) is composed of about 40 small pieces... I used walnut wood.

For the other rooms I did Point de Hongrie, which is easier to assemble...
The yellow room
It is not completely done but the picture will give you an idea. I managed to make curtains that looked natural ( I hope...) Sometimes I see great rooms but the curtains are too thick or too big and they spoil the effect. I must say little fabric is used to make real-looking curtains.
The billiard
I didn't know what to do with this room which only had bookcases and looked a bit empty, so I added a pool table and now I think it looks better.
I don't know how many books I made but it took me days, LOL! I am not ready to make a whole library!
The room of the five senses
Its name comes from the 5 panels I found on Internet. They are
decorative panels called the "Les five senses" painted by Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755)
Eighteenth century pastoral scene representing trees and landscape as well as in the foreground characters, painted for the cabinet of the Queen Marie Leczinska in VersaillesI chose to paint the panels turtle dove grey. Now I need to do the parquet. I haven't decided yet if I'll make curtains or not. The other question is about the furniture, I borrowed the one you see from another house...
That will probably be another bedroom with grey furniture and parquet Versailles.
La salle a manger
I changed the table cloth, a long one looked better, I think.
As you will see on the picture below, each room is an individual box. A box within a box. I can move it in and out. It makes wiring very easy and I could imagine changing one room for another one, or add elements or paint it a different color.
I connected the chandeliers and lamp to a box controlled by a remote.

I didn't fill the room with furniture. Maybe because I see too many rooms filled with furniture and an accumulation of objects isn't always successful. Or maybe it's just my style.....
