prariegurl Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ooooh, the Westville is on my wishlist! I want to do a mid-century house with a little boy's cowboy themed bedroom, and the Westville is just perfect for my dream! I would also want to use TigerLily and Rose wallpaper in the living room because the bold pastels are just perfect for the era! The attic is great--I need a junk room to store all the minis I have bought and haven't used elsewhere. Be sure to post photos of your Westville when get it!

KathieB Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 In another thread, I posted that I was thinking about adding a basement, as I don't think the attic is high enough to accommodate the workshop I'd like to see in this house and by doing so wouldn't have to mess with the roof line. Well Kathie you could do both, y'know -- add a knee wall to the attic and just raise the roof maintaining the original line and have the basement -- loads of room that way. (I'm very good at thinking up ways for others to use their time ) I'd thought about that! The problem is, the slant of the roof extends down into the second floor room. And the distance between the attic floor and peak of the roof isn't very big. If someone has a Westville handy, could you measure the distance from floor to peak and the depth of the floor to give me some idea of the space? Thanks!

Charlene Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I thought someone -- was it Tracy? -- added a room over the porch -- didn't see it in the Westville blog...am I hallucinating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMadWoman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Tracy, the Westville turned out amazing! I just love it!! It's beautiful. The fireplace is really something . . . you outdid yourself on that one! My wheels are really spinning . . . I have to have a Westville . . . okay, maybe after I finish the Willowcrest! I think it might be a perfect fit for 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' . . . hmmmmm . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Judithfa added extras to her Westville blog though now that I think about it I checked out the blog. She extended the 2nd floor bedroom out over the porch, but the attic was lost in the process. I don't want to lose the attic. I'm going to be reworking the 2nd floor to get a bathroom in. Am thinking the attic will remain an attic and a basement will be just the ticket. Teresa, my Westville will be somewhere in the Midwest, but I can also see it on a windswept bluff overlooking the sea for the Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Or even in the little village that Jessica Fletcher calls home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I LOVE that movie!! 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' would be a WONDERFUL theme. Whew -- Thanks -- When I couldn't find it I thought I'd really gone over the edge cool.gif Charlene, that's what minis do for me.

Minis On The Edge Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 My house was a mess Anna everyone was getting splinters cause I did not sweep up my work area cause I was losing things and was scared if I swept I would not find it. Yeap, try feeding people while telling them they can NOT enter the kitchen . I can't wait to have my own work room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I LOVE that movie!! 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' would be a WONDERFUL theme Yeah, I've been mulling that idea over in my head for months now . . . well, it will have to mull some more because I have a list this long to take care of! Tracy, I'm so excited for you to have your own workroom . . . the only downside . . . the family still won't get dinner because you'll be busy in your workroom . . . well, at least they can cook without fear of splinters!

minijunkie Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 OH Tracy, it is simply stunning! You did a great job. I can't imagine getting it done that quickly. But I bet you can build dollhouses with your eyes closed. This is a gorgeous house and the recipient is going to love it. I have a Westville in the box. Oh...someday!! I will be calling on you!! ~Bobbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work better under pressure in all aspects of my life. This is something hubby & I had been talking about. When the Heat is on, that is when I am on too. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
