it is true I have finally finished.

actually this kit did not take as much time to build as it seems

I had surgery and did not work on it for almost 2 MONTHS!

wow that was a long dollhouse break.

last we were here I had paperclayed the roof and it was drying for paint.

oooooooo I wish I could say how wonderful it looked....but I cannot. I did not take photos of all the cracks and shrank out of place shingles. I started painting with a dirty wash. "bleech" looked horrible with the paint job of the house so I grabbed my gray and made a wash....ooooo I liked it! but in some of the many cracks I did not fix the wash didnt take so I painted in those areas with full paint. so the 2 shades makes a nicer roof on the overall effect. up close....well?? I plead inexperience! ;) it is my first roof. so please be kind.

also note the reglazed front windows.

the flowers are for the photos undecided about final placement! what do you think?

And the kitchen.

The wall between the kitchen and Livingroom need some trim...it will be a fabric trim I have my eye on at Walmart.

Tomorrow I will have Catriona take it out into the sun light for a good outside shot.

I really enjoyed building this house. looking back I would have done a few things differrently

I would have finished the roof peices(paint the ceiling side) and the back corner and kitchen before putting the bay in. it would have been less frustrating to the decorator me.

the instructions were not bad to follow. the kit and furniture set makes a nice starter home for a new collector or a child recieving her first dollhouse!

I would recomend this kit for a beginner adult or like minded child would find this kit doable and enjoyable.
