Hi all. It has been a very long time between posts. I have been mini-ing a little (the odd mini basket, mini knitting, painting, painting 3d printed items) but I have made very little progress on my houses. I spent last weekend at a weekend away with my state mini enthusiasts organisation and it got me a little inspired. I painted the shelves in my doll shop so they're ready to restock. I also pulled out my Mountfield to work on the kitchen I had pulled apart.
Yesterday was a disaster. I had none of the things I needed, so ordered all the things and left it at that. Today, I opened the roof and found some of the things I needed - spare windows, skirting (painted and ready to go) and a spare sheet of wallpaper to replace a piece in the hallway that got ruined. I was so relieved and horrified at how dumb/genius I was to store it all in the roof.
Anyway, I finished up trimming the skirting in the lounge room and dining room beside the new fireplaces I made. Now I just need to make a new back for the dining room fireplace and finish painting the fire inserts.
I had already made the pantry for the kitchen, so I glued the door I had to the pantry shelves, cut a wall piece to fill in the opening in the back wall of the kitchen, then glued both in.
In that last photo, you can see my pieces of tile sheet that will be glued in. I am leaving those off for now as I am getting my husband to help me cut a window opening on the right wall tomorrow. Also I need the floor tiles I ordered to patch into the floor first.
I've always felt the kitchen needed a window. I also want a window in the left wall of the front bedroom. I am debating putting one in the left wall of the lounge room too, but not sure it will fit with the dresser there. I will have a think between now and tomorrow. I have an idea to put a room in the attic, and therefore a dormer window, so for now I wanted to hang onto a spare window for that (although it's likely too big for that). Maybe the window in the lounge room could be a round one.
Thanks for reading this far! Hope you are all well.
