Hi, I have been poring over all the posts on this forum and have found so much incredible information from all of you! However, I have a few questions that I can't seem to get my head around. I just bought the Vermont Farmhouse Jr. kit, and opened the box tonight. I have most of the tools, glue, etc., that I think I need, but I'm not sure about a few things. 1. I would like to have lights in the house but I'm not sure how to go about that. Is that something I need plan/buy now before I even start, or can I put the house together and then work on the electric as I work on the rooms? 2. I'm a little confused about what the extra are in the VF Jr and what is included. For example, many of the houses I've seen have a railing on the staircase and a landing, but I don't see that in the instruction photos. Are those extra? And what about interior doors? Sorry for this but I'm a little confused. Is there anything else that you would recommend to supplement the look? Thanks so much! Mardee -

From the album: Half-scale RGT Colonial (first house!)
This highlights the difference in scale between true 1/24 and the room kits I had on hand. this staircase was supposed to span an entire floor in a kit, but will only go up 2/3 of the wall in this house! I will camouflage it in the playroom, the stairs will disappear up into the attic and no one will notice they cut off right after they become hard to see. -

From the album: Half-scale RGT Colonial (first house!)
I'm going to set up a table for kids crafts and homework in here, so I wanted to use some fun wallpaper. I didn't have exactly what I need, so I will need to camouflage an awkward transition between two patterns. I am also struggling with the puzzle of how to get the wire from the room under the stairs to travel across the room discreetly so it can go up to the third floor where the battery pack will be. Suggestions welcome. -

From the album: Half-scale RGT Colonial (first house!)
I have a staircase starting here, beginning with several risers climbing toward the window and then angling 90* at a landing before climbing up behind the parents' bedroom. One of my favorite things about stairways and hallways in minis is the ability to hide them in slightly-believable places but outside of center-stage display space. That said, this feels quite artificial. Any suggestions are welcome. -

I used wide popsicle sticks (tongue depressors) to cut the gingerbread balusters from, and used thin molding from Hobby Lobby for the railing. Newell posts are made from square dowels, wooden beads and matboard. -

Included special gifts and remembrances in this box. Also a great place to display the laser cut chandelier! -

This is the staircase module which incorporates the corridor to nowhere. I made these books last year when I first had the idea for this build and couldn't resist having a little play.- 22 comments

I put pictures of the finished roombox in my gallery. I love how it came out.

Scrapbook paper worked out pretty well for this--a little tricky to match--I now have a two-headed lady in the corner! LOL! -

Never tried the wine, but thought "The Maiden" just begged to be used for a miniature. -

An idea takes shape. -
Hi, everyone Anyone ever bashed the staircase in the Brimbles Mercantile? Like make more open or something? Can the steps be made seen by a railing or maybe 'floating' steps? From pictures I seen the staircase is not supporting anything but itself, right? Can anyone should me light!!!??? THANK YOUUUUU!

I was rather taken by the staircase in this more upscale Copper Hollow home. I also thought the back staircase that is by the window and leading up to the next floor was also interesting. -
Hi, Would appreciate recommendations for applying a shine to wood floors, staircase, doors, etc. I am familiar with MiniWax but would rather use something non-toxic. The flooring I am applyng is Houseworks Red Oak Wood. Thoughts? Would it be awful not to apply a finish of some type? I do like the way the floors look. However, I still have the rest of the woodwork to consider. Thank you! Helaine

Still chugging along on the Bellingham. Does the interior staircase come with a bannister? I see no reference to it. Thanks, Helaine

This is my first doll house. When I was a teen/twenties I used to make high quality doll furniture and sell it at local doll museums/shops. But I never had the room for an actual doll house. I saw the Glencroft at a friends house and she bought me one for Christmas. Of course, I had to add my own touch: I'm changing the roof line. I don't like cropped roofs. I like the height of full roofs. I love the architecture of stairs. A great set of stairs can make any small space look bigger. So I took out the wall and opened up the staircase. I just love how the railings came out. And also I enlarged the shelving beneath the stairs to make it look more custom. I love how grand it all looks. I would totally want to live here. I added a window between the living room and kitchen. I plan to put a stained glass window in it. I started the stone work with vinyl spackeling in the kitchen. It came out great but took forever to carve. And the dust it created was ghastly. Then I read about Paper Clay here on the board. OMG. I love, love, LOVE this product. It was so much easier to do the fireplace walls. I'm really looking forward to finishing the fireplaces and using PaperClay on the stair case wall too. I think I might even add it to the exterior. These are my current images. I've really enjoyed seeing everyone's images so I hope you enjoy mine too! Happy New Year, Bogie
