Kitten Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm just about done with the interior of the Fairfield. I have to admit that this house has been somewhat of a challenge for me, and I've made a few mishaps along the way. Overall, I'm pleased with how it's turning out, though I'm not sure I'll attempt another half-scale house again. The pieces were smaller than I even expected, so the build has been somewhat tedious, but also rewarding. Anyway, check it out...pics are in my gallery.

Esther Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 They're lovely, but any pics of the outside? I'm planning to start my Fairfield soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitten Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thank you! I haven't started on the exterior yet. Decided to tackle the inside first. Hopefully I'll have some exterior pics in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneck princess Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Your Fairfield is beautiful! Where did you get the wallpaper for the master bedroom? I love it! I have a Fairfield waiting patiently in the box (along with a lot of other kits ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Fairfield is a nice house with good bones, and yours is turning out so well. That's the one that spoke to me and said I'd better get two, as it wants to become a Bar Harbor summer "cottage" and I'll need to bash two together. Having nearly completed my first 1:24 build, La Casita, I really like the challenge of working smaller. Since I make everything, this will prove interesting for the Fairfield, but I'm looking forward to trying. Of course, since it's you, I guess you know all about the 1:24 line of Bespaq...

All of the other paper throughout the house is from Robin Betterley's collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly I'm really looking forward to seeing a bash of two Fairfields, and your idea to make it a summer cottage sounds very cool. Yep, I know about Bespaq's 1:24 line...lol Though I haven't quite decided if this house will be Bespaq or mostly Robin Betterley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Robin Betterley's 1:24 stuff is really outstanding, and Bespaq all gets to looking the same, if you catch my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about Robin Betterley's kits...they're wonderful! I can't, however, agree with you about Bespaq furniture. I don't think it all looks the same at all, and I love the quality of it. Different strokes for different folks though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Its coming out wonderfuly Kitten. I love your wallpaper and flooring choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 don't think it all looks the same at allI was tinking of the highly carved, twiddly detail of the Bespaq line, which is precisely what attracts so many people to it, and what sort of turns me off of it (it's the stuff that in RL I was never allowed close enough to touch as a child, nor was really all that comfortable to sit on when I was finally allowed close enough to do so). It is most definitely a matter of taste, and thank goodness for the miniature artisans that our tastes are so different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 All your houses are very nice! As for the Fairfield, it has such an elegance all of it's own, it looks great regardless of the furniture contained therein. Mine has the run of the mill Town Square minature line in it, and it still gets ooowed and aawed at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I have some of the Town Square furniture, I recovered the diningroom chair seats to go with the Aubusson rug I stitched for it: and I also have the Woodcraft set of 1:24 diecut furniture to play with, too.
