whippet-gal Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I just had to share .... I've just received this gorgeous Bespaq bedroom set, which is destined for my Grosvenor Hall AND, an hour later, another postal service arrived with Woodcraft's Fantasy Villa :lol: I've been tempted by this 'wooden puzzle' for quite a while & having seen what can be achieved by Tracy (minis on the edge) http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/...037881673mJEHyk I finally gave in - it was an easy surrender :lol: Here's a link to the bedroom set, but be prepared to fall in love .... http://tinyurl.com/ue96p Jackie who's doing the happy dance :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeninky Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 It is wonderful furniture! I love it and it has a big price tag too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogster Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Bespaq stuff is great, and you can't put a 20 pound bedroom set in a Grosvenor (how do you pronounce that?) can you? Gotta spend a little bit of dosh to get the look right. Otherwise it'd look like Jim Royle decorated the place. The Fantasy Villa is a great kit, If you like it on inspection I'd suggest the Castle as well, it's just as nice. Looks like a fun build. I got the Villa for Marg, the castle for mesen, thinking I may have people in the dungeon subjected to the greatest hits of the Bay City Rollers and Iron Maiden 24 hours a day. Can't think of a worse torture. Oh yeah I can, Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. Okay that's set. I got a delivery too, my San Franciscan arrived yesterday evening (I worked 3pm to 3am). It's an original non MDF kit, unopened, still has the original staples holding the box closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallowell Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Congrats Jackie, the bedroom set is beautiful. I also have an addiction to Bespaq with over 80 pieces in my collection and nothing in my bank account. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Congrats on the furniture! does this mean your gonna start back up with your gorgeous house? Congrats also on the villa, i wanted one after i saw Tracy's. She did an incredible job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I can't imagine putting anything less than Bespaq into some of the grander house kits (the Garfield also comes to mind). You need to take out a second mortgage and get some of Ferd Sobol's pieces, particularly the caned chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggi Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Very nice and pretty. Congratulations on your purchases. I will probably never be able to afford Basque, but I sure can enjoy looking at it in others houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The postman came to our house today, but he only brought half of my order; I now have the windows & door, all I need is the house kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallhouset Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 That bedroom is gorgous. I'm with Peggi, I can't afford Besque, but I love looking at it. I'm waiting for my Villa to arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whippet-gal Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for all your replies - I'm still doing my happy dance, even after spending ages staining shingles for my wooden Orchid, yesterday. Eye candy will follow, I promise. Doogster: Grosvenor is pronounced Grovener (the s is silent). It seems we have a similar taste in awful 'music'; I can't think of anything worse than listening to that mixture all day. Opened your San Franciscan yet? And yes, Marg, Grosvenor Hall is downstairs again in the 'thinking zone' . I'm going to take my time over the house, as I have big ideas for it, as you know, & I'm sort of waiting for my skill-level to catch up! I've decided to make it my background build, getting my much needed instant gratification from working on other projects at the same time. That's the theory, anyway Bespaq is a bit beyond my 'pocket money', too (Eddie & I have had pocket money all the time we've been married, trouble is the house fills up with my buys & his is spent on golf ) but I sold a rare set of My Little pony (other collecting hobby), so i had the money - what could I do?? Happy weekend all, Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yay Jackie! I love you ideas for the Grosvenor! And your furniture! I was looking at photos on webshots last night and looked up the Grosvenor, well there sat mine, the last pictures taken months and months ago. I need to get my fireplaces and get started on that house again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The house kit arrived, this is the second time I've ordered from HBS that part of it came direct from another distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 :music_band: I think this says it all LOL, a huge congratulation of getting that set as well as the home for it to go And I think I better stay away from searching for more Bespaq items, I will need to stay away, will need to just sit and browse the forum mustering up energy and ideas for the houses I have around here that needs to be dressed, aha, they need filling.... OK, I am hurrying over on ebay to see what I might find LOL (and will blame you for any charges made on the CCs!) Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
