I have this one in a box waiting patiently under my work bench in the shop! Have to get the 12 or so projects I've currently got going pared down(read some finished and moved on) so I can get to the ones waiting.
Going to look forward going through this album, as I truly have always loved the look of this build! -
Scrapbook paper, and went up really well. :)
-
Thanks guys! Y'all have me blushing! lol
-
Ah, thank you! Don't know if I'd go so far as that, but I am having fun with this one.

I have two Lawbre houses now, and love them! I especially love my continual work on them as they both came to me as rehab type houses. Love your inspector, and can't wait to see what you two do with this beautiful house! :)

That glass container looks like one of the many vials I save from my insulin usage -- if you ever have need for more, drop me a pm and I can send a few more your way.
Have to agree with Sam, you had some nice finds there -- and for $6, that's super impressive! -
I truly am so very glad you were able to save this! I just knew for as much as I wanted to get it, I couldn't -- and I'm super happy you were able to save it!!!

This is so cute! Must admit your journey doing this has inspired me to pull out a kit I'd been uninspired with and try my hand at a faux gingerbread house as well!

I actually think Lawbre used to do this, as both of my Lawbre houses have come to me like this. According to the previous owners of my Nantucket it was put together by the company and they only painted some of it, and it had the same issues with the crown supporting the second floors.

If you can measure the length of your porch post, there are occasionally old porch posts on Ebay by Walmer. They are made as you mentioned that one is with the small dowels in the end. Hope that may help, oh and if you're looking to have gutters look at Manchester Woodworks(they have both a website and Ebay store) they make gutters from wood for old Dura Craft houses, but you may be able to configure them as you need for this house.
This is a truly beautiful build, and can't wait to see what you do with it! -
Personally, looking at those windows -- I would've never guessed you made the mullions, I would've thought right off they were factory made. Sooo, I'm just going to say you did a fantastic job on them! Also, side note -- I'm loving what I see of your work space, much more organized than my own! lol

Looking good so far! Great idea by the way!!!
-
Thanks so much! I have to admit I'm definitely the same in my love of using finishes not typically seen in miniature, or seeing how one scale may work in another!
-
Thanks so much! They're really pretty easy to do, and I love that they make such a statement!

From what I've heard she has houses ranging from 1:24 to 1:6 so far! lol

I've been keeping an album on FB so her mom can keep up with the rehab. I was given hearts and wows tonight when she saw the second floor updates -- and was told via pm she loves that this house looks "real" on the interior. Apparently she's trying to get the little girl to give up some of the Fischer Price plastic houses she has, and thinks this is going to be the way to do so. lol
-
Thank you, I really do too! This veneer was the veneer I was really questioning if I'd be able to use due to it having gotten wet before -- but I truly love the way the weathering turned out.
-
I'd say it's a really a personal choice -- it's just that since I've found it, I absolutely LOVE it!
-
This is actually my one point I'm questioning myself on, as the rest of the house is being done in more "grown up" style decor so she can grow with it. I wanted it to reflect her taste now though with colors she likes, etc... so hopefully they'll like it like this! :)
-
Thank you so much!!!
-
Thank you! This may be one of those you're your own worst critic houses, but from where this house started at to where I hope it will end up... pretty happy so far!

*Pattern matching on the top paper was near to impossible, which is evident. Again though, I thought it was one of the few scrapbook papers I had that went with the request for some purple to match the little girls' favorite colors -- not to mention it's just a fun paper!
-
It could seem spacious b/c it was missing the original interior walls and I created some out of some plywood I had lying around here. I love the cord wood wall look too! Though next time I use it will probably help to remember this would typically be seen on an exterior wall not interior -- none the less, it was something fun and different to try! :)

Love this paper for your wallpaper!

Funny, I've been working on this house the last few days and how much my thought process has both stayed the same in wanting to try new to me techniques -- but also how some of what I tried I just didn't like, like this ceiling...
