Willowcrest construction

lots of progress on the willowcrest since last night. i still need to finish the 3rd floor stuff before i start fine tuning the opening i cut for the second floor staircase, it still needs some work but at least it's mostly done. Next will be priming, then i'll install the staircase...i didn't want to put it in place for photos because i think i'm going to have to coax it a bit to go into it's place and i want to get wallpaper hung first. what a shame you can't really see that upper hall. i love that space. After putting the second floor staircase together I realized that i didn't stain the treads, so as soon as they are done i'll glue them in place :idiot:

The kitchen addition is pretty straight forward, just a box shape really. I didn't want to do a major bash on this house but i couldn't deal with the tny original kitchen. So, in the end this was a simple addition. I sold my beacon hill dollhouse this past summer, there were alot of things that i loved about that house including the kitchen bash that I did. I may decorate the Willowcrest almost identical to the BH kitchen. I won't be using the furniture for this house that i placed in the photos, it was handy for photos so i could get an idea of my space when i look back at the photos.

i'll work on this house on and off. i still need to shingle the Glencroft and i'm wanting to get some work done on the Foxhall and the Queen Anne. I've got some great kitchen ideas for the QA and I think i'm ready to start putting them together!

Hello, even nude the willowcrest is an impressive house. I am returning to building mine and I noticed that I don't have my schematic. Is it possible that you could scan yours and send me a copy? I have my instruction sheet but I still can't tell whhat goes where. I am starting on the 3rd floor as well. I have lost my second floor stars and the wall that separates the bathroom from the stairs. Help, it would be greatly appreciated. dolores925@yahoo.com

Interestingly I never like the kitchen, but i never occurred to me to ad more space to it. The exterior looks interesting with the box attached. You like me have a few houses we are both working on. LOL

Hi Dolores! I'm sorry but I don't have a scanner. Try doing a shoutout under the General Mini Section or under the greenlead dollhouse section and i'm sure someone will be able to help you. Hope you find your lost pieces.

It's so hard to work on just one project! LOL. The small kitchen has always been something that has bothered me. I figured this was the easiest modification to make (box shaped) :)

That's exactly what I had in mind. Thank you for posting this. I knew there might be a way to do it and your pictures really help. I like everything else about this house except the chimney that takes up the whole third floor and doesn't match up with the fireplaces anyway. This would be a really great house in laser cut. I may just have to order this house and get back to minis. I have most of the furniture I'd use already.
