havanaholly Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Welcome to the little family, Susan. Will you eventually build the rest of Grosvenor Hall? That is one BIG house! I personally prefer plywood over MDF to build, But you will have a very sturdy dollshouse when you're done.

havanaholly Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) I love those coffered ceilings! When you have made five posts you can make an album of your build in the Gallery here and put all your pictures there.

Medieval Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 That is AWESOME! I love your wall paper, the ceilings, and the floors. The doors are ornate enough to match. Looks like you know what you're doing to me. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qubanqtee Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I am squealing with excitement! I love those ceilings especially how it appears they are slightly recessed ...did you carve out space or is it an Illusion? they look fantastic!

XX Jeannine That's what I did, work room, staff dining, kitchen butlers room etc in basement. I'm working on the house from the bottom up decorating as I go. I've found it easier to do ornate ceilings before I put it together. Lot of forward planning. I'll put photos up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
