The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 74 to 76

Hi everyone!

FYI, this post is kind of picture heavy.
Fireplaces and staircases in their places!... wait that rhymes!

I added baseboard in all rooms, I made them with coffee stirrers...
The carpet on the staircases is a ribbon I bought some time ago. I used hot glue to keep it in place.
As usual I used black nail polish (called Night) as paint on the fireplace pieces. SHIIIINYYY!!!!
Picture time:

Next is the staircases railings, and the decision of adding doors... ARGH CHOICES, NOOO!!!
Then I'm going to finish the roof, make the porch and start the shingle thingy....
Cheers!

McKinley dollhouse - week Forty Three

Well, would you look at that?

I'm back and I got the McK mojo back!

I finished the trimmings, added some thingies, and Voilá!

I still have some stuff to add (toilet, clothing, etc) but now I'm happy with the McK.

And I got some plastic to cover so the evil dust don't take control.

Happy Holidays!
Cheers!

The Fairfield dollhouse - Days 64 to 71!

HI!

WARNING!!: This post is picture heavy!

I added the tiles on the porch floor. I decided for white tiles:

Those plastic cross 'thingies' are spacers for the tiles. Very helpful!

Tower roof support 'beams' added too:

Dry fit of the porch railings... meh...(maybe I'll make some from scratch):

I added some support for the porch roof :

The windows inner 'glassed' panels drama begins. I did not liked this one very much. So the rest will be single panels.

Porch roof glued in place:

More windows inner 'glassed' panels :

This one sucked something awful to do... argh!

A front view...

I found that if you lightly sand the borders of the 'glass', they glue more sturdy to the wood trimmings:

And more windows inner 'glassed' panels:

Another sucky one to do:

Trimming on the porch roof in place:

Trimming on the bay windows roofs also in place:

That's all for now. I still have a attic window (ANOTHER sucky one) to do the ground floor larger one (former door) and the round ones - I'm going to make them diamond shaped... I NO like round windows :( ... then I'll add the tower roof and add the porch railings and the final trimmings and then to finish I'll spray paint (maybe add some color outside?) and THEN it's shingles time!!!!

Later!
