Thank you all so much for your compliments - Karen really was pleased.
She makes the old style lamp shades - ie 30's and earlier. That was why I went with a more old fashioned appearance. She is re-doing one room as "a girl room" and will do crafts etc in there. She plans on having a day bed and will go there to read/etc. She can hardly wait to get the new bed in and will use the quilt in there as well as in the living room - but it will hang out in the girl room over summers.
