Thank you for this introduction!! I just looked at the Art Institute's site and found the coolest page dedicated to them (https://www.artic.edu/highlights/12/thorne-miniature-rooms). I love the "California Hallway" and the fact that Fernand Léger created a mini painting for the room!

Which room did she have?! I just confirmed with my mom and my groovy room is indeed lost to the trash bin. I am shattered.

She was lucky too! I keep calling it the groovy room but you just made me realize that it was actually called the bubble room!!
