Mary11 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Did you paper as you built or is there enough room to get in and paper after it's all put together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbytsdy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi Mary, I papered the walls before I assembled them, but the Lily was my first house (I learned alot!) and if I build it again, I'll paper most of the rooms after assembly. The front foyer has to be pre-papered though because there is no getting in there once the walls are together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I haven't built mine yet, but this is the purpose of the dry fit; to see which rooms will be accessible after the build and pre-decorate the ones that won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks, rbytsdy. I was looking at what some people did with it and that's what I thought about the foyer. Holly, thanks, I know. Just wanted to get a feel from those who made it what they thought was easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I've partially built one, and it's one of those that I haven't dared touch lately. I almost always wallpaper after assembly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firef2005 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I did everything after the build, with the exception of the foyer. I finished all of it including the stairs before I moved on to the rest of the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary11 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks for all the input. Going to start her this evening. Very excited to get going with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framebb Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 My Mom built the Lily about 3 years ago and gave it to me that Easter. I have since re-papered just about all of it with the exception of the front hall or foyer. dont think I could get in there if I tried. I do remember Mom saying that if she hadn't put the curtains in the windows on the 3rd floor prior to gluing them in place she would have never been able to do it later. I wenr a step further and took a piece of wood and made a very amatuerish wall between the dining room and living room, instead of the "open floor plan". If I ever change the paper in the dining room or living room again I'd probably re-do the wall a little more sturdy. I snagged a addition I'm going to put on my Whitney since I've never been able to come to terms with the tiny spot I've been trying to use as a bathroom. Lilliput #455 is my next project. Who knows maybe the bedroom will become the bathroom and the bedroom can move in to the new digs..... Enjoy "the build" Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Linda is the Queen of Wallpapering. LOL! No Holly, I'm not the queen of wallpapering. I'm just crazy. I can't get a feel for what I want until it's built, so then I HAVE to wallpaper after assembly. It's made for some interesting angles and twisting in all different directions to get into rooms and angles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 You are, too, the Queen of Wallpapering! Your wallpaper always looks SO perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristineR Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 question on the windows, are they suppose to overlap each other? And is their someone that can post a picture of the finished windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you read the Team Lily building blog and study the pictures, perhaps you'll find an answer: http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=blog&module=display§ion=blog&blogid=14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
