Missy A Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi Everyone! As life usually does, I've been distracted and haven't built in a while. I'm starting my Adams kit this week. Does anyone have any advice on how to add some extra space to the house? I though about purchasing another Adams kit but then the house would be much bigger than I wanted. As always I appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!! Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Do you want to add space to the single room or add a room above it? If the latter, you could cut the side walls at the point where the porch roof attaches and add a spacer to increase the attic height.

Elsbeth Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well - it's a small house, but you can add dormers and glass in the porch for a tiny conservatory, or add a small sunroom off to the side via french doors - for tiny houses with a lot of bang for the space, here is a nice site for ideas (especially her cute dormers and roof additions): http://www.cinderellamoments.com/2018/09/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think that roof is shouting for a creative dormer - but who knows. But that side window could easily be french doors leading into something cute and small and chic. What style are you going with? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
