My Dollshouse - Part 16

Because of the festivities I am only working on my dollshouse intermittently and therefore I forget to take regular pictures.  In the meantime I have added a sewing room.  Originally it was to be the upstairs hallway with stairs going to the attic, but I didn't feel like having stairs taking up all of the room.  We'll just have to imagine that the stairs are somewhere at the back of the house....

I created the wallpaper myself and printed it all out on A4 paper.  The floor was done with some 1.5mm thick mahogany that I had laying around.  I cut the strips and glued them on paper, after which I glued the whole floor down. Waxed with bees wax of course. ;-)

The lamp came with the dollshouse, as usual.

The little sewing machine I already had, as well as the dressmaker's dummy and the white cabinet in the back.  The folding sewing reck was a workshop from the past and the little sewing cabinet on the floor as well.  The teddybear I have had for years.  Just a little addition to the room.  As with all the other rooms, the walls are still bare, but I will look into paintings and other decorations in the future.

 Besides working on the bathroom I have finally finished the outside of the house as well. I have attached the supports for the roof on both sides and the white trimming for the front.  In the future I will do something about the base, but don't have a plan worked out yet.

I am still not very impressed with the quality of the house as a whole, but.... I can make mistakes, I can try things out, I can use different period styles, in short I can do what I want! ;-)  It still boils down to the fact that if I hadn't started this I would never have gotten into minitures!

I have also finished most of the bathroom.  The venetian blinds have finally been added and I have frosted the glass of the upper windows in the bathroom.  I will need to make a few small items still and after that I will move on to the 'landing' in the centre, which will have no stairs either (like the groundfloor), but will most likely become a sewing room.
