fov Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Oh, I hope some Greenleaf members enter! I would participate if it weren't for the timing. My Rosedale is in the early decorating stages, but I wonder if that would be cheating? It says you can use a used dollhouse, but sort of implies the house should be "new to you"...?

Angieaug Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 This sounds like a fun blog to watch. I hope lots of people will participate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I'd love to enter my 1/2" scale houseboat but I don't think it fits the criteria. Has anyone figured out how to enter this contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otterine Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I don't know if I can handle another deadline so soon after the Spring Fling! :lol: It will be fun to watch, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Kathie, I was thinking I would enter the Fairfields, just as an excuse to get the photo CD burned; but I gathered she wanted people to do a "new" decor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorn27 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Okay, I kinda want to do this! Even though its my first house... it doesn't say how I get in on it? And while I have facebook and twitter (I don't so much use twiter) I'm not sure how to 'link' in like it says. Someone teach me how to 'connect' with this thing!

MiniMamaSC Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I hope she posts more details about how to link up/join in--I'd love to get in on this. I think it would be fun to purposely go uber-low-budget...using as many scratch-made and/or re-purposed things as possible. I'm actually tempted to set myself a TOTAL budget of the amount she spent on her unfinished house alone and see what could be done with that. hmmmm...

jujurodgers Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 what fun! i saw something in the description about adding a widget to share your pics? (need more coffee LOL)....love the whole mainstream idea!!! and hmmm Zooey and Parker like minis too!!??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Going to LA to "show" the house is DEF. not in the cards for me...so this counts me out... It looks like a lot of fun, not really a $$ contest style, but more of a showcase...Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanib123 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Raspberry, I don't think going to LA is mandatory. It said something whoever "can" be there, I think. I'll reread it. I would LOOOVe to enter something like this, but sadly my skill level just isn't up to it! I can't wait to see what you guys enter, though, I just know a Greenleafer will win!

CatColorado Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 If I weren't so slack about taking pics, I'd definitely join in. It's like the shoemaker's children not having shoes, I'm immersed up to my eyeballs in digital photography 50 hours a week... though I do manage to post a cat pic now and then. I don't think this has to be a new house either, it's more about the decorating, so I think Emily's Rosedale would qualify. I guess I could try to take pics of the Coventry build. I'll have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckMouse Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I'll have to re-read her criteria. Does it have to be an actual house, as in people live there? Or could it be a place of business? The deadline is about the same as the Creatin' Contest over at HBS. Perhaps the two could be combined? Anyone else doing the HBS contest? Hmmm, gotta think about this awhile. I'm on the West Coast, but CA is still too far to drive, taking a dh with me, so the celebration party is definitely out. I'll have to look it all over again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I mis-read, you are correct... "Then in January there will be a gallery/party where everyone who can come to the LA area to show their house does so. " I'll have to re-read her criteria. Does it have to be an actual house, as in people live there? Or could it be a place of business? I don't think so...I think you can pick what you want... "So the challenge is to decorate a dollhouse. You can buy one or make something that resembles a miniature space - it doesn't have to be a 'house' per say, it could be a loft or an industrial space or i'm trying to convince my boxing trainer to do a mini boxing gym. It can be conceptual or literal. Whatever you want. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapchap73 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 "Whatever you want" can be a dangerous phrase for us. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrina Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Oh that sounds like fun! Dang RL for getting in the way LOL. Why is it when you decide to take a break from minis, to organize and focus on RL things, ALL of the dollhouse kits start screaming what they want to be? No fair...

MiniMamaSC Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 So this might end in spectacular disaster...but I have decided to make a modern loft apartment out of...an old Ikea shelving unit! I'm in the process of setting up a blog to keep track of progress. This will be my first time playing with actual power tools, albeit with the help of an experienced person (I'm going to have to detach, bisect, and re-attach a shelf to form the "loft") so hopefully I will not lose a finger to this challenge. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrina Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Ooohh sounds interesting! Looking forward to your progress. Hopefully you'll finish with all ten fingers intact. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
