Minis On The Edge Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I just wanted to share pictures of the Mckinley I am building right now. I had a really big challenge with the roof this time because I made it flat in the attic and raised the height in the attic on the left side by 3" so that a grown up doll could walk over on that side with out hunching over. I thought it would be easier also to decorate with higher ceilings. I know there are several of us working on one of these now? Do you all have any Progress pictures or pictures of what you have done so far? Here are mine: Click the picture to see the album. I did a lot of bashing to this house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wenlaine Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Beautiful job, Tracy. Those fingers of yours always work their magic. Love the fireplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks Wendy! I did a Lot of bashing to this one. Some of the bashing is subtle. Here is a list of changes I have made: I flipped the kitchen wall so that the door was in the front of the house. I also moved that kitchen wall over by 2" I bashed the fireplace (changed the design) & I added a little nook/shelf by the stair part of it I bashed the tower up front and made it pointy I raised the attic rooms and bashed the roof line by doing this I made the bay window roof in the back of the house point and not flat I bashed the front door to make it look similar to the design of the Glecroft door That's all of the changes I can think of for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thank you all for your sweet words!!! Paula, your Mckinley is Beautiful!!! I Love it! Yours look kinda like the one I did about 2 years ago! After I did the Pierce though, I wish I had a pointy roof on it :welcome: I think I am gonna make myself a new Mckinley for me and sell my other one (Or give it to my daughters) It's packed away right now cause we were supposed to move soon. I Miss it!! I love how you decorated it and you even left out your stairs!! I did too on mine. Do you have any dolls that live in there yet?

Minis On The Edge Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I Love that extra roof window you put in too. I am going to look in your gallery now for side pictures of your house :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamom Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks Tracy! The stairs are there I just reversed them with the fireplace. I didn't want the dining area to be right at the fireplace. No, I don't have any dolls that live here, at least not yet. My children have me decorating the top rooms similar to their real ones. These are their mini bedrooms! :welcome: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 we were supposed to move soon."Were"? Does that mean your new houseis or isn't finished? This is already two years overdue, no? I do like this McKinley better than the other one, although the Webshots site acts like it's trying to eat my computer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alamom Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I wanted to say thanks to all the kind words about my McKinley. I've had a rather crappy day today, but reading ya'lls comments lifted my spirits and made me smile. See what mini's and good people can do for you!

havanaholly Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The McKinley is such a nice house to build, because it has lovely lines and inspires us to do it proud! Paula, I really like how you switched the stairs, it reminds me of a house we looked at when we moved to Coshocton, OH (without the tower!lol).

Wolfie Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Paula, I LOVE what you did with your McKinley! Changing the staircase around is a stroke of genius! And the bathroom is fabulous! And the skylight over the bedroom on the left in the attic is vunderbar! Tracy as always your work is EXQUISITE! I love the soft look you have given this beautiful wall-hung! I love the McKinley! So versatile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I love the steeper pitch to the roof. I shall have to try again to get your album to download, my dialup doesn't seem to like Webshots too much. I don't trust the way our monitor displays colors, your trim has a purplish quality and the door looks ORANGE in contrast. I'll try again later on the link, but the lines are gorgeous!

sommerstern7 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh my gosh, Tracy! Once again I am completely "WOWed" by your AMAZING talent. Have you ever considered having a book published about your work featuring lots of pics of the many houses that you have made? WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
