I wish I could come up with a name for this house,it hasnt come to me yet. Ive spent weeks on the main frame of the house and the stairs,hallway. But,honestly I havent worked much,Ive only had a little time here and there to work. Wish I could get in some of those really good 8-10 hour dollhouse days;)I have spent a lot of time resarching for this house,going through my reference books for old houses,and reading other builders blogs,and looking at pictures of other BHs.

So,so far Im doing wood floors throughout. The trim wood is dark,a brown cherry look. Floors are walnut. I havent used any wallpaper yet,so far only plaster (peeling)which Im using paperclay for. Ive placed a largish order with HBS for doorknobs (20 in this house!)and some moulding. The doors will have trim added to make them a little more substantial. The overall palette is mahogany,mint green,lavender and cream. I did a nice stair runner with a piece of material tea stained.
