Some rooms are getting much closer to being finished, but still seem to be aways, away. One of the problems is that I keep finding something to change, or something to add, or something to remove!
I have finished "bricking" the house and will discuss the trials and tribulations of using those sheets in my next post. It was interesting, to say the least! The roof is finally glued down--no more getting into the upstairs hallway!
I have finished the main stuff for the living room and master bedroom, but they still need something here and there. The master bedroom ceiling light has to be glued--those "sticky" pads supplied never hold for long--I don't even know why I bother with them.
Electricity is going well. I am pulling the wires out the back of the house and into those power strips into a transformer. I haven't figured out how to electrify the front coach lamps--but that's for another day!
I have decided that the attic slated roof will open upward on hinges. I was going to make it a pull-away, but that flimsy lumber and the weight of the dormers scared me that too many pulling away and the roof would not survive very long. Besides I already have the first floor front a pull-away, but that seems quite secure.

Hello Iris,
ReplyDeleteThe brick looks beautiful. I look forward to hearing all about it because it looks very realistic! Great work! I love the interior rooms. You chose lovely wallpapers and colour combinations. I especially like the China cabinet in the dining room...what a great piece.
Big hug

Hi Iris! I think that your bricks look Great too! and like Giac, I am looking forward to hearing more about your experiences when working with them. I have never been brave enough to try but I have always been curious about them.
ReplyDeleteI think that your doll's house is lovely both inside and out! :D

Thanks, Giac,
ReplyDeleteThe brick is very realistic, but as with some many things, it takes some trial and error before the best method is found. I want to write it up soon so maybe others will try it. That China cabinet was an absolute greatest find on eBay. It's used, but I took a chance and it was in perfect condition! I love it too.
Hugs,
Judith
