My First Orchid Finished

My finished Orchid (except maybe some landscaping and more curtains.  Kathy's brick tutorial was my inspiration.  I enjoyed the bricking and by the time I was finished, I think I figured it out and will do a better job next time.  Hate shingling and bounced all around what color (stained a bunch light and dark green and changed my mind), thought hard about grey, but settled on a dark maple stain.  

I made the bed from a tutorial I found on YouTube and the other furniture I've picked up here and there.  But the 1/12 scale does not seem to really go in this house.  The bath, for instance, has to be a half bath because the 1/12 tub I have is too large.

Now I am debating on whether or not I want to get another Orchid to see how much I can improve what I've done or to open the RGT Beachside Bungalow I already have.  Decisions, decisions.

Each MISTAKE is learning...looks really really good.  I have kitbashed twice and made several room boxes plus 3 fireplaces and 2 staircases and I am still learning.  This looks good.  Maybe try something different so you learn from both types.

Thanks Linda, I think I will take your advice.  I have been following your work -- just spectacular!  Good luck Beulah, it can be quite a challenge, heh?  For me, the things other people said should be easy (like the bay window) were so hard.  I totally trashed the porch because it would not attach to the brick so had to build a new one, which as it turns out, I like better anyway.  Now that it is over, I look back and love every minute (more like hours and hours) it took.  Have fun.

Above, I meant to say Linda's (LPCullen) brick tutorial.  She is a fantastic teacher and the tutorial on bricking is in the Orchid Blog.
