amyole Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 So lately I have been thinking about making a house that would be French country in style. I have a Tennyson kit in my stash and was thinking, with some modifications, it might work. Not sure about the porch, though (maybe just change the railings?). I appreciate any thoughts/suggestions you have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrchob Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I would be tempted to leave off the porch entirely and finish the outside similar to how Robin Carey did with he La Maisonette.I would not use the gingerbread trim on the gables. Sounds like a fun project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Enlarge the "porch" area and make it into a plaza/patio with a smaller portico. Landscape it as overlooking a well manicured garden. Lots of flowers and urns ~ maybe wrought iron grilllwork at the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think the Tennyson looks great without a porch roof (I think that's what you mean). I've fooled around with it (and the house, LOL) a number of different ways. You can see different versions of the porch (or not porch) in my #2 Tennyson Place gallery here http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&album=7033and I cut the side porch completely off in #1 Tennyson Place. These are both half scale. I left the house pretty much as is in the Big T (1:12 scale) but left off a lot of the gingerbread. I decided to leave the porch roof off #2 and will be adding a railing around the porch base. Good luck with this. I look forward to seeing what you decide to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
