RGT Queen Anne bashed with Newport (plus lots of alterations)

[Melt]

A miniature lady I know built me this custom house. Well, it's the RGT Queen Anne and the Newport bashed together with a ton of custom alterations.  Walls taken down, windows replaced with doors, balconies extending all around, etc.  I know there are a few weird things that don't match (especially the Newport side of roof needing to be peaked or something), but I love it. It's so fun.  Just picked it up yesterday, so there are no accessories yet and I only just started playing with furniture, but here are pics if anyone is curious. It's giant!!!  I realize it's bigger than most people's taste. Lol. It's 90x36x38.

Oops. Will post pics in just a minute.  Have to switch devices.

A few pics...

This is fantastic! I wish I had room for something this size.  It's beautiful. You are so lucky!

[Melt]

Thank you.  It's fun. Been a project in the making for a while.

Eventually you will run out of bandwidth here on the forum to post photos directly to your posts, which is why I encourage folks to make albums in the Gallery to share their photos, which can be copied and pasted into forum posts without the limitations.

[Melt]

Ok. Thank you.  I will figure out how to create an album.

It's my idea of a perfect dollhouse, it's beautiful! You're so lucky!  Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to see more pictures as you finish the insides!

Wowie-kazowie! That house feels like a labor of love, on both the building and decorating fronts. 

[Melt]

Thank you so much.  It was made by Connie, owner of CJN Miniatures in Edmonds, WA.  She's amazing.  She worked so hard on this house. She has the store, a website and Facebook.  She has a really cool custom signature house that was in Miniature magazine.  Check her out sometime.

How long did it take to build and decorate?

[chrystalrose]

Oh My Goodness, the house is gorgeous! 

[Melt]

It took about 8 weeks to completely finish.  I just started furnishing yesterday.  Played with it for 8 hours. Lol

[Melt]

Connie had a builder help her with the shell.

Holy Moly! That is one superb house. You must be in heaven!

I almost went to her store last month when I was visiting my mom in Bellevue. Unfortunately, I waited too late in the day to make it there by closing time. When I go back up there in December I'll make sure to stop by and let her know that I saw her incredible creation.

You're so lucky! :)

Just beautiful

[Melt]

Thank you all for your kind words.  Yes, I feel EXTREMELY fortunate. ☺️  It's so much fun!!

Can someone tell me how to add an album to this post.  Would like to post a few more pics, especially of the game room. My favorite room in the house and completely custom.

You make albums from your profile page.  Then when people click on your avatar or username it takes them to your profile page where there is a button to access your albums, once they're made.

[Melt]

Okay, great. Thanks!!!!

[WyckedWood]

Please do make an album but I want to see all the detail of all of the rooms lol...what a fun place to get lost in your own world. 

[Minis On The Edge]

What a Beautiful Mansion you have here! My Goshness! I love the colors too!!  I hope you do decide to create an album here 

[Melt]

Thank you.  Yes, having fun and getting lost in my own world.  It has 2 transformers and one is not strong enough, so I am headed out to find another one.  Will post album soon. ☺️☺️

WOW!!!!  That is one amazing house!!  I've been struggling to build mine for two years and it's less than half that size!  Have fun!!!

[Melt]

Yeah, I struggle a lot myself and frankly don't do a good job. More fun for me to tweak and decorate. Lol

Okay, I am not a builder and I know that.  The "attic" is the Newport side of the top that obviously does not match the other peaks. It's boxy.   Any ideas at all how I can add a peak to that roomthat matches the other peaks (triangle and not so square)?

I think it looks just fabulous as it is. Maybe add some trim to the top to finish it off. The mansard roof adds to the architecture. The rest of that side is mansard. You have a balanced blend of gables, mansard and tower. I love it!
