Just lovely. What are the leaves/petals? scattered in the pic? They are a lovely touch! Julie

I'm speechless. Beautiful settee, beautiful fabric...everything is so grand and beautiful! The petals (eucalyptus?) add a touch and I love the faux stone painted floor covering!

Your father is a true artist-craftsman,
beautiful work! I love the silvery green shade of eucalyptus and the leaves are enchanting. I want to have some too!
