KathieB Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm sorry you're having a problem with the flooring. I'm not familiar with that brand. The tin ceiling is very elegant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 trying to rethink what I can do as far as sourcing good flooring.Check out the flooring in the Greenleaf store! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carla Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Your house is looking amazing! So, I'm just curious -- what flooring did you end up using? Carla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp1 Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) It took me 3 attempts on the first floor. I honestly think my local hobby lobby got a bad batch in. Ive bought enough wood floor to be able to easily spot "soft wood". I wish I had this knowledge beforehand. It would have saved me a lot money.

UVsaturated Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 tp, you are an excellent modeler. I am enthusiastic to see the finished house as I have one too and it is very motivational to see another's work on the same thing. I have to ask what the stains are on the first floor walls. It looks dark brown/red. Is that paint or stain on the trim and do you apply it after it is installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its kinda evolving on its own. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I am without words. All I can say is that I dont know how I missed following up on this thread. Youve made incredible progress. Your house is amazing. Its made me fall in love with the Garf even more. I cant wait to get mines. Its huge! Its an incredible little mansion. I know that pictures never do these houses justice but Im awed with just these pictures so I can imagine what it would be like to have this house in front of me. My husband has been trying to convince me to get the Queen Anne 2 during the 50% off sale but I am even more convinced now that getting the Garf is the right thing to do. The house is so beautiful that it looks incredible even without any paint on it. I love the gazebo on the top of the tower! I would LOVE to be able to do that to mines but I think Im too much of a coward to actually do it. Ive never kit bashed before. Was it difficult to do? What did you do for a door from the room to the gazebo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisygirl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have to agree butterflyex, your Garfield has been inspiring!!! I love it and I think that I am asking for a Christmas present!!!

Friendly Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Let me first come clean and state that I'm a 28 year old male :lol: I cant really say what compels me to want to build a doll house. I per fur to think of it as a model house LOL You have one very beautiful miniature house under construction I really like the modifications! Back when my then husband now exhusband had a Singer Sewing store there was a male customer that bought his DMC embroidery floss there. He did beautiful cross stitching, mostly castles and dragons. A hobby is a hobby! All that matters is that it's enjoyable and relaxing. My dad was a bit stereotypically gender biased (then again he is 83 years of age and we all tend to be victims of our own eras) when I first started building miniatures houses but now he's as enthusiastic (well almost) as I am about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp1 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Added a second floor balcony . I tried to mimic the Queen Anne's balcony but the Garfield lacks the space. Edited November 30, 2007 by tp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
