Interests
I absolutely love building and decorating dollhouses, and I really enjoy wallpapering my dollhouses. I also enjoy my family, my job, planting flowers, , etc. I am an avid reader as well. I also enjoy re-doing "real" houses, including wallpapering, painting, and just basic refurbishing.

Hello! I'm here, safe and sound!

Paperclay for the inside, which can be textured any way you want, and it's very lightweight.

styrofoam vs. paper egg carton - brick preferences?
LPCullen replied to IndyCindy's topic in General Mini Talk
Spray paint melts Styrofoam. Wanna know how I know? Yup. I did it, so don't use spray paint on Styrofoam... -

I'm no help because I HATE roofing! But if I had to choose, I like the thicker wooden shingles.

How to Remove Excess Wallpaper
LPCullen commented on LPCullen's blog entry in The Orchid Dollhouse Construction Blog
You can glue the windows on top of the paper. However, you're still going to have to trim the paper from the window opening itself. Unless you want to pre-cut it. I just never do that as it's easier for me to trim the windows out after the wallpaper is installed. Everybody has to find their own "groove". -

Hmmm. I don't have an answer for this because I use hardwire--I don't know how it works I only know how to make it work. So I'm looking forward to hearing the answer on this question...

Maybe try a "dirty wash"? Take half a cup of water and put 2 drops of black acrylic paint and 2 drops of dark burnt umber acrylic, stir well. Take a stiff bristle brush (if you don't have one a regular works ok too) and just brush it on the bricks. Takes the "shine" off and makes it look more used. PS, if one coat doesn't do as well add another....
