Addam's Family inspired

So... this is my first dollhouse and the one I am currently working on. I joined this group once the house was already built, so no process pictures. But I took some today of where it stands now. 

I've made a bunch of mods. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

And yes, I did clip the corners on every one of those shingles.

I think we need a tutorial on how you made that wonderful "wrought iron" spider balcony railing!

Figuring out how to solder was the hard part. After that it was easy.

It's actually copper wire, hammered flat, shaped and soldered. Then painted with a metallic black paint.

Made the stone porch out of sculpy then drilled tiny holes for the railing to mount in.

Can't you just see Morticia, Gomez, Grandma and the children standing on one side of the balcony whilst Lurch, Fester and Thing prepare to pour the kettle of boiling oil onto the carolers standing at the front door?

Here's what I've been working on this week.

Tell me about the bed. Did you make it? I'm looking for something similar (read: narrow) for the maid's room in the Beacon Hill.

Yes, I made the bed. I dont like the way off the shelf furniture looks off to me. 

Its copper wire, shaped and then soldered. Primed and airbrushed silver. I'm working on the bedding now. But I'm very happy with it. I'll try to post a final picture today.

Good job! You have inspired me to  try to do this in my own. 

Thank you. If you're going to try soldering, get a metal Thing-a-ma Jig. If for no other reason than it hold all your pieces in place.

Had to Google Thing-a-ma-jig :)  What a great little helper. I'd have gone nuts trying to bend the wire over a line drawing!
