Kathy, I've been gone a while and haven't seen the finished build. It's just fantastic I am so happy that you enjoyed bringing it to life and shared your build with everyone.
Thank you so much Aggiemae. I'm really happy that I've technically got it done so you can see how much happiness you brought me by selling it to me.
I've got more things I am going to make for the inside, but since the ryokan is technically done right now, I'm concentrating on the landscaping. The landscaping is making it look so much nicer! Lately, between working on greeting cards for a craft show I'm doing on Saturday, I've been making tons of flowers for the landscaping, and also designing a teahouse to go in the garden. I want this house to be a real work of art!

That looks so real! I love the way he is looking so adoringly at James!

I love how expressive his face is, and he looks so happy in front of the warm fire!

The carpet looks beautiful, and I love the idea of lemons and oranges to go with it!

It looks great so far, but I agree, a second string would be perfect!

You have put so much work into these, and it has paid off. They are gorgeous!

Wow, it looks beautiful!

Thank you both. It means so much to me to hear both of you say that, since you are both members whose work I admire so much.

That is really beautiful!

I love the interesting nooks and crannies in this room, and the floor looks great!

It looks great Debora. It must be so exciting for you to see it with so much done! I love the rolling base. I need to get my husband to build me one for my San Franciscan. It would make life much easier!

Most of those big English country estates had a number of dogs, and most had huge amounts of land for them to roam on, so a dog on the front steps, and a couple inside wouldn't look at all out of place, and I think that all of those breeds would be apropriate! (I'm such an enabler) :-D
Anyway, from watching all episodes of "All Creatures Great and Small" at least once a year, that is what I've observed whenever they are in one of the country estates!

I'm partial to big dogs as well, and the wolfhound is so elegant. Whatever the wolfound is laying on could be painted to look like a blanket.
I was also going to suggest both. You've got a big house there, and one dog alone will get very lonely. He will need a playmate!

It's funny how bamboo is supposed to be so popular because it is renewable, and plastic is supposed to be unpopular, but now bamboo is more difficult to find, and plastic is everywhere!
Luckily, bamboo skewers are really easy to find at the grocery stores, but those don't have the hollow centers like bamboo sticks do.

Your landscaping looks fantastic, I can imagine you've put a lot of hours and care into this project. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, now that I've finished the house, (except for anything I might decide I want to add later), I feel like I can just relax and take my time with the landscaping.

Wow this looks amazing! You make it sound easy but looks pretty complicated to me
Actually it really was easy. Just drawing little curved things on wax paper with a tube of sealant! Making the water basins was a little more complicated, because I wanted to use little pieces of bamboo, like it would be in real life. Unfortunately, I couldn't find little pieces of bamboo anywhere. I couldn't even find those bamboo placemats that used to be everywhere. Now all the bamboo placemats around here are made of plastic. :-( Anyway, for the top spout, I used a bamboo skewer and put a black dot on the end to look like a hole. I needed a larger piece for the hole at the bottom, and ended up using a brass tube.

Thanks, I made a bunch of water streams on wax paper and let them dry, then I chose the best ones, and cut them to fit. It was pretty easy!

Thanks Debora, I sort of wish I had made a sandy bottom now though, it doesn't really look like a deep pool, even though I tried to follow the Woodland Scenics tutorial. I think the sandy bottom would have looked more real.

I was just showing all of your houses to my husband. He is as amazed as I am!

The light in the hallway is gorgeous, and I really like looking through those window on the sides. The leaded glass makes it look so real!

I like the white lights better too, and the red berries look really nice with them. The tree looks very elegant in the window! (Although I do like the other picture with the tree in the corner as well).
