Hello! I'm fairly new here and am working on my first dollhouse for me (I renovated one for my littles)
I have this beautiful front openening dollhouse I go for a steal on Craigslist and have a bunch of ideas for it and have done tons of research. But here are my questions:
1) The sides of the dh have structural beams which I want to do cladding over, rather than in vetween. My plan was to put a thin piece of wood to cover it all and do my siding on that... however, I am wanting to cut out windows on the sides and back. How would I go about adding windows if there's a gap between the external siding and the covered up original wall/structure?
2) I would like to add a porch light, since it is front opening how would I wire this? I plan to have electrics on the back of the house. I've seen one method by using the hinges as a bridge. Is there an alternative solution?
3) I'm going be making some of my own furniture...etc, but when I convert them into 1/12 scale, it still feels rather large in the house and floor space becomes scarce. |The ones in the picture are bought items. Any tips/advice?
4) I have the same beams problem with internal walls too, how would you go about covering those up so I can add baseboards and make it look realistic?
I am struggling to find information on front-opening dollhouses and inspiration- I am going for a fairly modern theme with mine.
Thank you again for your time!
