L Swearengin Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 So, I'm not going to have enough bricks (I made over 400 lol) or patience, to do the whole house. I'm adding clapboard siding. My question...paint the brick or leave as is. I've put work in progress on pinterest under " Allison" as I stare at the pictures, I'm not sure I like the cross mulions in the curved window. .thoughts??

Mid-life madness Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I can't tell about painting the bricks, is the house going to be pink? Maybe paint the widow moldings and trim something on the opposite side of the color wheel for more contrast? I think the mullions might be a tad too wide and that is why you are questioning them. Whatever you do it will be beautiful anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I like the bricks as they are, especially if the clapboard is as pinkish as it looks on my monitor. I agree about those mullions being 'way wide, they make the house look toylike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 It's actually peach???? Well "baby blush", guess that could be pink. Lol. Trim color is vintage coral. Both from Lowes samples. The more I look the more I'm looking for the saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyole Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If the color of the bricks bothers you, what about toning them down with a wash? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawanda's Pinterest link is at the bottom of her post; click on it and you will be on her page, and her Allison album is the newest, so the last one: https://www.pinterest.com/lawandasweareng/allison-dollhouse/ 5 hours ago, rodentraiser said: Which Allison?

sparklepuppies Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The problem is that Lawanda's Pinterest link is in her signature, and the Signature section does not appear for mobile users like me. (it also doesn't display names or locations of members. ). And there is no way to change that, believe me I tried after the latest big forum update. Hated that last update. So I haven't been able to see any of the pictures that she posts. To add insult to injury, Pinterest is hard to use on my phone, especially without logging in, and I have no interest in joining. It allows me to see a few pictures, but no navigation. Sad face. Oh well. So thank you for posting the link! Excited to finally see her house, what few pictures I can see. And it's looking great Lawanda, love the bricks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Lawanda, I still like the brickwork the way it is with the color on your Allison. If they really bother you, make a really dilute wash with a light gray and a drop of the peach paint and wash your bricks with it (do one in an out of the way place to see if you like it, and let it dry). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklepuppies Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 My apologies... I guess I should have said "if her link is in her signature...". So where can we find her Pinterest link, besides where Holly posted? I don't see it at the bottom of her post like Holly said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodentraiser Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 OK, I see the house now. I like the brick, too. And I think using a pillowcase for curtains is genius. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Sorry for all the trouble . I take pictures with my phone and rarely use my laptop. I've tried many times to put pictures on here with my phone and it never works. Thanks for adding a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Under Lawanda's post there's [+], "Quote" and "Go to top ^ buttons; below that there's a very faint line, and below that is her Pinterest link; that's how it appears on the laptop I'm using, which is somewhat elderly in computer years.

sparklepuppies Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Okay thanks. That doesn't appear in the mobile version. I miss on the old version of the forums where we had the choice to switch between mobile and classic themes... But no more. Some of us will just have to rely on others to post a link for us from time to time! :) And Lawanda, no worries, I certainly understand from one phone user to another!

My Miniature Madness Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Lawanda I think you'd like a nice whitewashed brick like this one: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
