Kalygirl Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Eric and I started working on it last weekend and we've gotten more work done today *happy dance* The shell is together and it actually looks like a house!

chattycathy66 Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Jen, You're BH is looking great, isn't it exciting! We started the Beacon Hill too...I think we're each at about the same step--- I just finished staining the stairs tonite ! Going to work on them tomorrow... I just ordered the Conservatory Thursday, I think that's the room I most look forward to decorating! Do you have colors picked out? My daughters wanted pink, but I think we're going with a darker pink color...almost a burgundy...hard to describe, I picked out the color and got some of those "to go " samples at Sherwin williams, put it turned out lighter than I expected, so we might be going back to the store.... Good luck Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJEP Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 It is looking great, Jen. It must be so nice to have someone to help. My dh just lets me go work on mine and sees it as time to get his things in order. I figured since he liked building ship models he might like to help, but he only helps if there is something I can't do by myself or if I need tools.

Kalygirl Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Ok, so things have changed just a wee bit...Lady McBeacon has gone all regal on us and has decided that we are not nearly experienced enough to complete her as she wishes, and we are certainly not worthy of handling any of her parts.....so she has graciously stepped aside for the Orchid instead, which I've been playing with for the past few days. I already know that it's going to be a Healer's cottage modeled after my favorite character in one of the Valdemar trilogies (by Mercedes Lackey) and I've been keeping my eyes peeled for just the right furniture and goodies. I guess maybe it's a good thing to get experience on a smaller house (and one I got cheeeeep during an AC Moore 50% off sale) and later on we can do Lady McBeacon in all her glory. Pictures coming soon, as soon as Thelma decides which ones she likes the best :groucho: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 has decided that we are not nearly experienced enough to complete her as she wishes, and we are certainly not worthy of handling any of her parts ohhhhh I know how you are feeling. my Grandville did that to me. but everyonce in awhile he perks up and says...hey I want what you did there on me. so ideas still perkalating but free to work on other things till my skill level is enough to satisyfy Mr FancyPants! The Orchid and the other smaller houses are definatly the ones to practice all of the wonderful tips and techniques found on this forum! nutti :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 You're making remarkable progress! It's so much more fun, when you can get The DH involved! You guys rock!!! Good luck with the build! 3 cheers for you mini teammates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Minis Dollhouses Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Jen, your house is already looking good. You have all of the tools and everything to do a perfect job. I love all of the little furniture you got too. Your Beacon will turn out be a great house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
