Gluing in the walls!


Shareb

462 views

So, I have been busy touching up paintjobs, putting in windows and finally I've started gluing in the walls. I had to sand and prep the staircase a little better and that is now gluing so will be ready to glue down tomorrow morning. It's exciting how things are finally coming together! As it takes time for glue to dry etc, I've been doing other little jobs in the meantime. I am making a wingback chair that I found as a kit. I've stained the legs tonight using Mod Podge and chalk pastels. Tomorrow i'll have to varnish them and then it will be ready to upholster. I've got the stairs to glue in, then the second floor and then one more wall. Then it'll be running wires for the electrical before gluing down floors on the second floor and adding the attic space. My birthday is Monday and my kids and I are going for a drive to another city (about 2hrs away) to visit a lady with a shop in her house! I'm making a list - so excited!
I've also decided how to layout my kitchen - I'm trying to make a butlers sink and have 3D plastic printed a couple - not sure which I like yet so will have to decide once the cabinets are in. But first I have to get some wood to make the cabinets!

 

I LOVE dollhouse and miniature making!!!

Your birthday trip sounds heavenly. Lucky you!! Hope you find some great goodies. Don't forget to share some pictures!

 

Looks like you've been very busy. Your perfectionism is showing through wonderfully as you upgrade and change your features and details. It can be a burden to be a perfectionist but it always looks fabulous!

I just can't understand how dollhouses can be built quickly!  Paint takes time, gluing takes time as does varnish.  The amazing thing is that I still get that little thrill in my stomach when I think about my dollhouse and my creating.  My hubby told me that is how he feels about his cars!

I didn't know I was a 'perfectionist' until my daughter 'accused' me of it about a year or so ago and hubby was quick to agree!  Hubby is as well...

 

I think I'm going to do an Art Deco house from scratch next time......
