    Ribbon Straps

    From the album: Beacon Hill Rehab

    Dismantled house, melted and scraped hot glue. Deep breath! Primed and painted main pieces, started reconstruction. Ribbons used as makeshift straps to hold in place while Aleenes glue sets.

    Beacon Hill Rehab

    I was given this Beacon Hill kit with a build started with hot glue. Watch my progress in dismantling and rebuilding this classic kit. As of July, I have dismantled the original build, scraped all the hot glue, primed and painted main pieces, and started assembly.

    Melting glue and scraping forever, I almost give up…this feels thankless. Would be easier to buy a new kit, but then this poor girl would be trashed. Save the house!

    Melt and scrape, melt and scrape, repeat!
  5. Thank you everyone for your excellent suggestions! My daughter wants the name to just be Beach House, so that’s what we chose!
  6. Hi All! I have recently completed the build on my Linfield that took a few years of procrastination, and now I’m ready to name the house. I prompted ChatGPT (you should get the free app) for some names for a handmade mermaid themed dollhouse and received these suggestions-do any of these look nice or do you have a suggestion? Here are ten names for a handmade mermaid themed dollhouse: 1. Ocean Haven Cottage 2. Mermaid Lagoon Retreat 3. Coral Cove Castle 4. Seashell Serenity Villa 5. Enchanting Aquatica Mansion 6. Pearl Harbor Hideaway 7. Siren's Song Seaside Chalet 8. Neptune's Treasure Manor 9. Fin-tastic Underwater Palace 10. Mariana Mermaid Mansion I hope you find these names enchanting and suitable for your dollhouse! Thoughts?
  7. My Linfield build is complete! This is my first experience with tape wiring a house, and it wasn’t as difficult as I expected, just time consuming…On to furnishings.
  8. Thank you so much Carrie! We also have the same sconces with the seashell!
  9. This may have been answered before but I have some questions about adding electric light fixture...I have electrified my house with tapewire, first time electric user. I have successfully tested the circuits from top to bottom and all is good. My next step is to add my fixtures and posterboard walls. How do you add your fixtures? Do you plug directly into the tapewire or use an outlet? I am using scones, ceiling lights and lamps along with posterboad walls - to easier make adjustments/design changes if needed later. May need sconce adapters... The Cir-Kit tapewire instruction book says to use the brads (pg.20) as placeholders for the outlet, then push the wallpaper over the brads. I am thinking that I will mark the placement of the tapewire on the opposite side of the posterboard wall so I know where to puncture for the outlet/or plug insertion point. Does anyone have an easier method?

    Making progress on Linfield Beach House! Shingles done. Need to glue on roof trim and gutter...then on to interior window trim, fitting the wall templates and getting electric ready to install.

    Making progress on Linfield Beach House! Finished the shell base and have almost completed the shingles. Loving the shimmery look on the shingles - looks like shell. Used a Martha Stewart metallic rose gold paint. Next will be electricity!
