The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 47 and 48

Hi, everyone!

I just finished the floors!
I used wood tongue depressors as floor board. It end it up looking great!

Pictures times:

The bathrooms are the same shape so I took just one picture, although the attic bathroom is a little bit bigger



This is the attic floor. It was a pain to align the thing so I could slide it in place....

That's all for today. Tomorrow I'll be sanding and gluing the floors in place. Still not sure if I'll stain/paint or something them.
After Christmas is wallpaper choices... ARGH!
Cheers! and,
Happy Holidays!

The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 43 to 46

Hi!

Very productive days have passed.
I papered all the ceilings with white 'lightly texture' paper and I'm planning to add a mural on the tower ceiling:
The prototype worked like a dream:



I was planning to do the wood flooring with bamboo sticks but that ended up Fuuuugly! So it was back to the faithful popsicle sticks/tongue depressors.
Although I have many cuts on my fingers (for shame!), I was able to complete 3 rooms today.
The Dining/kitchen area:


The second floor rooms:

I'm going to finish the floor templates for the rest of the house, then it's ceiling mural and the dreadful time choosing wallpaper!
Got to go!
Later and Cheers!!!
:D

The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 41 and 42

Hi, everyone!

I had a constant headache this week so I only worked at the staircases yesterday and today.
It was not perfect but since I'm going to add some carpet (rugs?) on it, I think it end up pretty good!

This is the first-to-second floor staircase:







This is the second-to-third floor staircase (built from scratch with popsicle sticks):



Now, I have to paint it, if I can decide which color, add the tapestry so it can be glued in place... After I decide the wallpaper...

ARGH CHOICES!!!!!!!!!!!

Later!
