Half-Scale Lavender Cottage Dollhouse Roof, Stairs

 

Yes, I've been slacking off on the project. I started the top roof, which is going slooooowly. But as I mentioned before, the lower roofs are done, and I think, look really good! (* Click photos for full size. Wow, the last update was early last month with the third floor and when I showed the shingles started.) 

Not much else happening on this, for the moment, but I wanted to show the roof results. (*Click photos for full size.) I finally just put the brick foundation paper on and am working on the edge trim now - and done! It looks much better. At least one trim part done.


It'll also look less bare when I decide on what flowers to put in front. It's different as I've never done a white brick foundation (and white stairs) before, but I had a lot of that color left (now only one sheet) and it went with the color scheme.

Thanks to my friend, who had the right width wood, I finished the stair treads, too! I want to add some greenery next, and then wisteria and vines along the roof, porch edges, and posts also.

In the meantime, I can't stay away too long from doing something spooky! I started this spooky little kit  (the corner room) that I got at the dollhouse show, so that's turning out pretty good.

 Here's a hint: I had enough leaves left from the Poison Ivy plant kit (SDK Miniatures) to make some more plants. This project will need a pot! Other pix coming soon. 

So, a short update! 

* For fun, I came across this free printies page at the Mouse Mansion with some schoolroom items and Christmas cards. While you're there, be sure to check out the impressive Mouse Mansion project
