Dollshouse for the dollshouse!

I've started to work on the rooms in the attic of the French House - a bedroom and bathroom (although I'm thinking of turning that into a work room - we'll see!)

This beautiful dollshouse comes courtesy of Cynthia Howe - it was part on an on line tutorial for Madeleines nusery. It came in kit form, and was really easy to put together. Its probably the single most expensive item I have purchased for my house, but it as too beautiful to resist!

I have it sitting in the corner of the bedroom, and will post some more photo's of the bedroom later.

French House - Quarter Scale

Well, finally I'm back! It's been the longest, hottest, driest summer in living memory, but the weather has finally cooled down enough to make mini-ing a pleasure again! Sadly though, the progress on the French House has come to a standstill - I seem to have run out of inspiration and all the prjects I've started have not turned out the way I hoped. I'm also used to working in quarter scale, which makes projects quicker to finish, and I'm finding the full scale take a lot more effort and time!

Sooooooooo, for want of something to do, because I was desperate to do SOMETHING creative, I decided to try my hand at a smaller version of the French House. This was a fun little project, as well as been fairly inexpensive, and took only a few evenings of work to get it this far!!!

 Here we have the front of the house - windows and door need to be made, and balconies added.....Oh and roof!

Interior - kitchen, stairwell, Salon and a little Attic bedroom ........I went for a chinoiserrie look wallpaper in all the rooms - I love these type of papers, and they are much easier to do in quarter scale wehn you don't have proper photoshop type software!!!

Kitchen and stairwell........
