Layout ideas for the Biltmore
Re: Layout ideas for the Biltmore
You've made a great start, Laurie. I like the blue colour you've used as the background and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your visit.
Re: Layout ideas for the Biltmore
Great job Laurie! I’ve never got to visit there but visited a Cornelius Vanderbilt home in Newport, NH, it was pretty spectacular too. Is this the same guy or a different Vanderbilt?
Re: Layout ideas for the Biltmore
I had no clue, so I looked it up. Taken from Google:
George Washington Vanderbilt, who commissioned the Biltmore House in 1882, was Gloria Vanderbilt's great-uncle. Gloria Vanderbilt's grandfather, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, and George Washington Vanderbilt were brothers. And those brothers were grandsons of railroad and shipping magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Thanks for the details, Laurie. Sounds like those Vanderbilt’s had a rough life!
Re: Layout ideas for the Biltmore
Laurie, I was looking for something else entirely and stumbled on this blog post about a Biltmore layout:
https://nallystudios.com/blog/simple-st ... ore-layout. The suggestion to use Simple Stories Simply Vintage Ancestry is a good one I think, and although that's an older collection - although you can still buy it - you might look at other Simple Stories Simple Vintage collections as they seem to have the right period vibe.

I can’t think of a collection that would be more perfect than the one linked in Keitha’s post. I might have to buy a few pieces.

That paper was beautiful. I went to the links to order but it was out of stock. Went to Scrapbook.com and found some similar and ordered it. Hopefully it will be here in a few days.Keitha wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 11:25 am Laurie, I was looking for something else entirely and stumbled on this blog post about a Biltmore layout:
