Your photo reminded me of Hogwarts a bit so I had to include a Potter reference and I just had this feeling of a big dark wood panelled hallway like a horror B-movie set with the mad count in his black cloak watching from behind a painting with holes for eyes. The place felt like that to me. Except warmer and cosier.<br/><br/>I stayed at a VERY posh big house once for the wedding of a friend of a friend and they had two butlers. Honest! Real English butlers. AND they behaved like that, appearing just when you needed them and vanishing again. It was amazing yet also quite funny.<br/><br/>I hope a French maid's outfit fits your plans rick.
