You even have wallpapered ceiling! Very nice. I am kinda glad I don't have to be the one to do curtains. But this looks so good. -
Look at you with the fancy flooring! That is a heck of a lot nicer than mine. Great job! -
This is one of the nicest houses I have ever seen. Amazing work! -
I did the exact same thing to stabilize the posts. Your work is BEAUTIFUL. Everything is so clean and crisp and the turned posts look so nice. -
No Selkie... just the one that is with the kit. I thought about hinging some of the roof sections - especially the one in the front in that corner over the main stair landing. But I really want to get this done so I can get on to the next project. -
Thanks folks. Creamcheese.. it is my partner's mother. She bought the kit and started it and then decided it was too much. I agreed to build it for her thinking that I could throw it together in a couple months. Boy was I wrong! I really hate to give it up now.... haha -
The shingle stain is EASY! Just take some black india ink, mix with isopropyl alcohol and brush on. You can adjust the color by adding more/less ink. It dries in a couple minutes and that is the look you get with no more work. Note: the more you sand the wood the less effective the weathered look is. The shingles were not sanded on the face so they took the stain quite well. -
Next time you want to create weathered wood, try a mix of india ink and alcohol. It brushes on and dries in about 10 minutes and the look is spot on. Check out the shingles that I put on the Garfield in my gallery and you can see the look. I LOVE the style and the decor of this item! You did a fantastic job! -

I decided not to use the finials that were supplied in the kit. They just seemed too large. I turned a kingpin/finial and will use those instead. -

Yet another progress photo. This time the shingles on the front are finished and I have the vergeboards, gable post and ridge crest in place for the front gable. -

One last peek inside the attic from this side before the roof that covers this area gets glued in. -

The attic is just about done. There will be more railing on the left once the back roof section goes in. -
How do you hold crown moulding in place until it dries?

The bedding is so nice! I love that you were able to use something with a family connection and history. -
Is this from a kit? Where did you get it? Looks great! -
You are shingling under the eaves? With the vergeboard on there I can hardly see up under. I filled the grain of the wood and gave it a skim coat of paint but otherwise it will stay as is. -
Its just on the box cause I have no where else to put the box and the table below and is a little smaller. It lifts pretty easily. However, I discovered that the door to the room is going to have to come off the hinges to get it out! -

Rear Right View - Staining and Painting Stage

Do you have any 1:!2 scale furniture? I would love to see a photo with a couple pieces inside the house so I can get a sense of how well the rooms are scaled. -
Under Eves - Ready for Staining and Painting

The plywood from the kits delaminates pretty badly on some sheets, doesn't it? Sometimes I think it is more work to punch them out and sand/fille the edges than it would be to just makes new pieces out of solid basswood. You have done a great job!
