Baillie Scott's scheme for the Lady's Sitting Room, with its subtle colouring used in conjunction with simple patterns and motifs derived from Nature, demonstrated all the qualities of unity and 'Innigkeit' (inner warmth) so much admired by his German peers. Heinrich Waentig was captivated by the displays at the Dresden exhibition and described the Sitting Room in glowing terms -- 'Baillie Scott's gray boudoir with its black furniture in alder and pearwood in which the mother-of-pearl and ivory intarsia gleam like jewels, while the quivering glow of the fireplace, fighting with the winter sunshine which is muted by bright blue curtains, plays upon the lilac-velvet cushions'.
