Ah!  I love this floor!  What did you use for the tile?  Is it real linoleum?  Paint chips?

Your floor is fantastic and looks like it was an incredibly intricate job. But, having lived in several houses with floors like this I can say you have captured the look perfectly! Bravo.

The tiles are cut from thin laminated wood with a coat of vinyl paint, they look very realistic after assembled just like a real tile

Thank you! The tiles are thin laminated wood with a vynil paint coat, cut into small shapes to assemble. For the wainscot I used 'skinny strips' (coffe stirers) spaced evenly and topped with a 'chair rail' and baseboard trim. It was quite easy to put this room together, just takes a bit of time and patience

Thank you! I love victorian floors so much, wish I was lucky to have a house from that period, I think I'd never use rugs hehe :D

LOVE IT!

You did an amazing job!

Beautiful-- love that beadboard. Was it a pre-made piece or did you lay individual boards?

isn't is amazing?  I was going to do something else with my San Franciscan Kitchen and now I'm thinking that this would be better.  It's just breathtaking. She used coffee stirrers, those skinny ones - I have to go find some.

Amazing.  Love the tile.  I don't know if I could cut wood pieces exact enough to accomplish such a beautiful floor.

Thank you, it was assembled with individual boards, I thought of using a template but the popsickle sticks kept trying to warp so I had to glue them directly into the dollhouse wall to keep them straight. :)

Glad you like it, they are quite easy to assemble but a bit of a pain to cut. I buy them already cut into these shapes from the UK, I sent them a picture with the custom colors I needed. They are very nice, I've been getting most of my flooring materials from them, the veneers are very thin yet sturdy so they'll last me a lifetime :)

I got the idea from other people in the forums here as well hehe, those coffee stirrers are really handy  I got them in packs of 200 pieces for 3 pounds a pack, 1 pack goes a long way, this size is great to decorate doors and shutters as well (Holy did some great doors with these)

I just love love it.  I want that as my real kitchen.  Perfect 

Love the tile!

Great resource!  I wondered how you got the tiles so perfect.  I think you should submit a picture to their customer gallery, to show what beautiful things can be made with their products.    I am definitely bookmarking this site.  When/if I do the Art Deco house, I want a black and white tile floor, but I want to step it up a little.  Their stuff is gorgeous, and they do half scale. 

oh I know who you're talking about, they make amazing floor tiles and such a large selection and very easy to work with!

Ah yes I told them they could use any picture from my Fairfield if they'd like, not sure if they did. Some of their tiles work for small scale too, the quarter inch squares and triangles and the half inch squares look nice too (like my porch and kitchen). They are very nice and I definitely recomend! If you can't find what you are looking for you can send them a picture and explain what you have in mind, they'll cut them for you as long as it's not weird shapes and angles
