The painting above the fireplace is a cutout from a catalog I had years ago.  Unfortunately, when I ripped it out, I didn't get the full name of the artist, only the first name of Leigh.  From what text is there, I think the title of the work is called Jeweled Cove (or at least begins with those words), though I haven't been able to turn up anything on the internet about it.

I glued the paper image to a thin piece of balsa then cut and painted a wood frame to surround it.  I bought the clock on eBay, and the elephants I've had for over twenty years.

To finish off the fireplace, I made a marble-look hearth out of a piece of cardboard.  I used the technique shown in the DVD by Master Miniaturists called Faux Finishes.

And, after....

The fireplace fence is by Town Square Miniatures and was originally brass that I painted with acrylic paint to make it look like wrought iron.

Since the flooring I cut for the study had a few minor gaps around the edges and some piecing by the fireplace, I brushed on a little brown paint so the subfloor wouldn't be so obvious.

I drilled holes in the chimney breast for the sconces and then glued the assembly to the wall.  I used Yes! paste to attach the wallpaper (scrapbook paper by The Paper Company called Parchment Tan).  There are three separate pieces.  The first one I glued in place was on the angled wall with the window.  I cut it with roughly 1/4" edges on either side to go under the other two pieces to prevent gaps along the seams.

Note: I no longer recommend Yes paste - I use Wallpaper Mucilage instead.  Yes paste has problems with longevity.

Once the wallpaper was done, I ran the wires for the sconces through the chimney breast.  I plan to pull the wires up through the ceiling and run them along the floor of the second story to the power strip.

I think I am getting the hang of electrification!  :D

The first step of installing the flooring was to make a template of the room.  I cut a rough outline and then taped bits of paper to cover any open areas.  This method makes up for any warping there may be along the edges of the room.

I used dark wood flooring by Handley House; it comes on a paper backing so you can cut a single piece of flooring using a template instead of laying the wood down strip by strip.  I did have to piece the wood a bit by the fireplace wall since the sheet was not wide enough to cover the entire width of the room.

The flooring isn't permanently affixed yet.  There are a few gaps from the wall, but I think it turned out well for my first attempt at wood flooring.  I plan to paint the edges where the base floor will show to make the gaps less obvious, and there will be a baseboard around the perimeter as well.

The wallpaper is scrapbook paper by The Paper Company appropriately called Parchment Tan; it is also not permanently affixed yet.  The furniture is by Bespaq, bought on eBay; the plant came from Hobby Builders Supply.  I am not sure if these pieces will stay here since I bought them for a different room, but they are closer to what I have in mind than the red velvet ones I had been using during the planning phase.  I made the rug and fireplace.
