McKinley dollhouse - week Fourteen


First of all:

OHMYGOD!!!! My mom gave me this:




OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!
OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!
OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!
OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!!OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!!
 I have THE best mom in the PLANET!!!


The wood shingles I wasted hours cutting?... it sucks wide, so....
I made some out of some thick paper, painted medium brown and glued on the roof... That looks so much better. (pictures later, since I'm at work right now)

And with my new, shiny, BEST EVER gift, I'm going to start cutting the tiles for the porch floor.


Later!

McKinley dollhouse - Week Thirteen!

Hello hello,

I'm with paint up to me eyeballs! And even using a mask I'm coughing sawdust like crazy. Aeh...

The floor of the hallway is done.




Observatory is 'plasted'. As soon is dried It's sanding time again. Then I'll add the 'doors'...



The McK is drying her first coat of white paint....




Shingles all cut and sanded (just a little bit). I'm think in painting those too... brown, or grey, or black...

Later!

McKinley dollhouse - Week Twelve - addendum

Hi,

I woke inspired this Sunday morning... I finished and sanded the living room floor.
AND the fireplace is almost done too!




Tower roof is almost done, I glued the bamboo sticks on the gaps and looks sooo pretty, OH MY PRECIOUS!




Now I'm waiting while the f12paste dries on the ceiling of the tower roof ( let's call that space - observatory) and them it's more sanding and I'm think I'm going to 'tile' the floor in the observatory.. I think...



Laters and Cheers!

McKinley dollhouse - Week Twelve

HI, Y'all

This week I had a lot to do at work and the traffic jams were so ridiculous I didn't have the energy to work on my Scottish Girl, McK.
I have done little else but cut shingles and templates.
But I half-glued the tower roof:



I used some Popsicle sticks to 'hold' the floor in place while I taped the whole thing together. For those parts you usually need 5 or 6 hands... aeh.



Bedroom floor is finally finished! I sanded and then 'sealed' using white glue! I think it looks nice and the white glue gave a very subtle 'shine'. And it was cheap! lol:


I did some furniture positioning to see if the miniature I have fit:
\o/














And I'm got two new sinks :



I put the chimney aside...it was driving me bonkers...

Later!

McKinley dollhouse - Week Eleven

Hi,

I didn't do much... I'm working on the templates for floors and walls, and cutting shingles...
But I did 2 'thingies':

I glued the staircase 'gap wall' n the bedroom:



and I made a sitting/table thing for the window space in the bedroom:



and I'm back to cutting shingles... boooooooooooooring!
Still no clue how to put the chimney together. I think I'm missing some parts... Or my 'I'm stooopid' card is sparkling...
Later!

Oh! Welcome A.Wright!

McKinley dollhouse - Week Ten

OOoops... I forgot to post week ten!

There was sanding... and sanding... and sanding...





And I got some 'imperfections'... but I plastered that.




Then I 'plastered' the ceiling and when that was dry... More sanding!!!


Now there she is, the Scottish girl.. sitting there waiting till I decide how to continued.

 

I'm going to work on the staircase, fireplace and start to build the curved staircase to the tower observatory (for those that are uninformed, that's the space from the tower roof that I'm going to put to use. ;)

And welcome new follower, KathiB! Cheers!
