This is the Dining Room from Claude Monet's house outside of Paris (called Giverny, the beautiful country house is located in the small town of Vernon).

A Painterly Room

I found Monet's light and dark yellow dining room utterly bewitching.  There was no doubt a painter had created it.  I searched for five years for the perfect pieces to put in the dining room, then put it all together.  I researched the Japanese printmakers that Monet liked and color-reduced their works to hang on the wall.  Bob Bernhard modified the cabinets to look like Monet's, and Mary Eccher (Pannikins by ME) made Monet's favorite "Green green" cake and other dishes to put on the table. 

Finding the Right Yellows

The worst problem was getting the yellows exactly right; I must have painted this room 10 times.  I "fudged" a little on the floor;  I changed the red and white squares Monet used to blue and white, because the red clashed in miniature.  This is the first Monet piece I did.
