The Fairfield dollhouse - Day 55 - PART TWO

Ok, that was fast...

I just finished the second floor hallway and bathroom....






I added the wallpaper to the staircase on the second floor and as soon it is dry I'll take some pictures.
Next to the schedule is the third floor. 
I'm still researching murals so its going to take a while.
This was a very very productive weekend, if I may say so.
Cheers!

The Fairfield dollhouse - Day 54 - part two

Hi,

Here is the bedroom:





Now it's dinner time and then I'll be going to read some fiction.
Later!

The Fairfield dollhouse - Day 54 - part one

Hello my good people!

Wow! That was a big hiatus... Over two months!
My mojo was off and I could not gather enough enthusiasm to choose the wallpapers so I took a break.

Today - MY BIRTHDAY! - I woke up determined and I start to work on the Fairfield since 7 A.M... On a Saturday... I'm back baby!

Before the time off I finished sealing the floors and the sealant gave them a nice shine and color so the floors are done.



Today I did the ground floor walls - yellows! and the first floor fireplaces are covered. I'm going to wait for them to dry so I can wallpaper the walls on the bedroom and the library/office.














Now I'm going to eat the birthday lasanha my awesome mom did and then it's back to work!
Later

The Fairfield dollhouse - Day 53

Hello again my good people!

I was very lazy today. Maybe 'cause I got to go back to work tomorrow... snif snif ...
Anyway, I did very little today, I dyed my hair black, did some pedicure... some sanding on the floors and I made some changes in the ground floor staircase.
Yes, it is a closet... No, the door does not work because hinges are evil thingies that refuse to cooperate.




ANYWAY, it is better than before, in my opinion.
Tomorrow after work I'll 'prime' it and then I think I'll try to varnish the floors... if the laziness permit it.
Cheers!

Oh, and Happy new Year!

The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 49 to 52

Hi, everyone!

Lots has been done even with breaks for Christmas and New Year's Parties!

Last check before cutting the extra step:


I glued the flooring in place and then I tinkered some with the staircases...








I glued the porch's ceiling in place:





And I added some trimmings on the staircases floor-gaps.










Tomorrow I'll be sealing the floors and finishing the floor gaps trimmings...

I decided - FINALLY - the colors.
The interior will be in shades/patterns/prints of yellows with white ceilings. The exterior will be white with blue trimmings and shingles. The fireplace chimney will be covered in a stone wallpaper. The staircases will be white with some parts in yellow wallpaper and the steps will be covered with a 'carpet'... that I still need to buy.
The furniture will be made by me from scratch in Edwardian style. I got the 'Edwardian Era: Miniatures in 1:12 scale" by Jane Harrop. Two thumbs UP!
That's all for now.

Cheers!
