Option 1: Starting at the center, I worked my way to the sides using a traveling guide. Once I reached the parietal ridge, I used that section as a stationary guide and pulled the next sections straight up towards it. Sections towards the bottom didn’t reach. ⠀ Option 2: Starting at the center, I worked my way to the sides using a stationary guide. Sections towards bottom didn’t reach. ⠀ There are sooo many more options but I chose option 1 ...not because the others were wrong or ugly.

Hello, painters! About two weeks ago, there was a post about PMY's favorite TV shows, but I felt really bad having to choose just one - I watch so many! So if you are looking for a new hobby or are just addicted to good plots and substantial character development, like me, here's my top…

This versatile Diamond Suite was a gift to Queen Sofia of Spain from the Sultan of Oman in the 1980s

Queen Sofia’s Pink Topaz Tiara was worn for decades by the American-born Countess Estelle Bernadotte (who died #OnThisDay 40 years ago), later being acquired by King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway before being stolen from Garrard in London in 1995

Name: Sofia Location: Stockholm, Sweden We live in a white Art Nouveau house from 1907 in Stockholm. It’s drafty and high maintenance, but we adore it! In my profession as an Interior Decorator (Tretow Deco) this house provides me with all the creative challenge I need – I constantly move things around and create little vignettes, it’s my favorite thing! The style is very Scandinavian and classical with a bohemian/rustic touch.

Name: Sofia Location: Waltham, Massachusetts I bought my house about a year ago, on my own. It’s a 1910 New England colonial, which had been rented out for decades. Because of this, the previous owners had neglected to paint over the original wood trim, mess with the steam heat, or do any renovations whatsoever (including the decision not to put something as frivolous as a sink in the main room of the kitchen!).

Queen Sofia’s Star and Pearl Tiara, originally owned by Queen Sofia of Sweden, is a nineteenth-century piece gifted to her by her brother, Grand Duke Adolphe of Luxembourg, upon her marriage in 1857. This intricate tiara features alternating diamond stars and pear-shaped pearls mounted on diamond spikes, embodying the popular star motif of the era. After Sofia’s death, it passed through several royal women, eventually becoming part of Denmark’s royal family through Queen Ingrid, Sofia’s granddaughter. Today, the tiara is owned by Princess Benedikte of Denmark, who continues its tradition of frequent use and sharing within her family.

Queen Sofia’s Sewing Bag and Chatelaine are a reminder of the history of fashion in dress when ladies used chatelaines and hand bags to carry valuable tools.
