Multiple stuff - dollhouse edition

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the forever long time since I blog... but honestly I get bored blogging...
But I'm here now, sooooo, lets do this (picture heavy post warning!!!)

I'm now working on two different dollhouses a Beacon Hill look-alike and a Rosendalish one. They are both in MDF bought online (Elo7) here in Brazil.





But I had a lot done during this time.
I built another Coventry style dollhouse for a friend (Grazy!):



I finished my modern loft, so cute, so tiny! I made some changes (of course) added a bigger bathroom and some thingies too.







I HAS LIGHTS!!!







I also FINALLY decided that the shop on the Taft will be a pottery/vase shop. I 'made' the vases/pottery with beads:



And I also built a camper, a underwater/Hawaii villa, and I will post pictures of those in the separate posts.

Till next post
Cheers!

The Taft General Store dollhouse - Days 32 and 33

Hi y'all!

No pictures this times. The last two days was wasted trying to glue the freaking spiral staircase on the second floor... It broke... four times! So I tossed it into the trash and made another...
I'm waiting to dry so I can try... again...
I'm going to finish this dollhouse without furniture because I haven't decided what kind of shop it will be.
Till later, Cheers!

ETA: I didn't work... again... ARGH!!!! I'm going to move onto the next dollhouse before I get even more pissed off.

The Taft General Store dollhouse - Days 30 and 31

Hi, everyone!

I remember to blog! Go me!!

In the last couple of days I finished the exterior staircase and added the doors.

For the railings I changed the kit pieces for BBQ bamboo sticks. They are round and more cute.
I painted the staircase with grey tempera guache.






I painted the doors (front, back and second floor) with a red nail polish called fuxico (don't ask...I didn't get the reason for the WTF-name too) on the outside and the inside with a brownish nail polish called peace (I'm rolling my eyes so hard I saw my brains...). Then I added a silver mini bead to work as door nob.








Almost done with this dollhouse. I need to add the spiral staircase, and furniture. I need to decide what the ground floor store will be. I suck at choices!

Later!

The Taft General Store dollhouse - Day 29

Hi, y'all

I was going to cut some shingles for the roof but I got lazy and made something different.

I got these round BBQ bamboo sticks so I used as covering for the roof:





It looks realy good, so I decide to add some color. A very light grey tempera guache:



I was going to paint the exterior windows trimmings but I'm felling lazy so I'm going to let the 'natural wood' color.
I'm going to paint the exterior staircase, add the railings and do something with the outside floor.
Later on, I'll add the interior staircase (after painting) and doors.

Later, Cheers!

The Taft General Store dollhouse - Days 19 to 28

Hello!

OH.MY.LOKI! I forgot to blog... AGAIN!!!! That means picture heavy post again.. Sorry!

I added some windows on the third floor:




And glued the staircase gap trimming: it's just a thin strip of white silky paper:


I did cut some limestone tiles but it was too thick and although it look gorgeous I didn't think it was going to work sooooo, I decide to glue the staircase in place and use bamboo sticks as siding after finishing the exterior trimmings of windows and doors.














There was a vote and I painted the siding red with guache paint. The 'veins' of the bamboo sticks still shows and looks pretty sharp!







Next are the shingles.... ARGH!
'Till next time, cheers!
