Perfect! P for New Project! Day 1 - Back: M for... - Next: Q-R for...
I couldn't resist! Had to share a new project I got at the dollhouse show. No, it's not finished but is a kit. Photo is the prototype.
I kept eyeing this, deciding on and off. No, I didn't need (yes I do!) another kit but I really don't have a storefront in half-scale - kit from Teri Hanson Miniatures (The Covered Chipboard.) Looking at it, I guess I have to see how to hinge it, unless it slides in. I didn't examine it that well yet.
Also got this cool bookcase from her and these shelves for one of the floors.
Size:
- FINISHED DIMENSIONS: 8.25″w, 12″h, 5.75″d
- ROOM SIZES: 7.5″w, 5.75″h, 5″d
I didn't get the papers as I have my own and I'm thinking of doing it in purple. No surprise. Hmmm, maybe it'll be a Halloween shop since I don't have one in half-scale. ha! Then I can put in a lot of the stuff that's sitting in drawers.
A possible idea is doing faux stucco on the outside. My friend is making a Robin Betterley house kit and her method is gluing torn paper towels to the surface with glue or Mod Podge, then painting. It looks pretty good. Might try that.
If I needed more room I can always add a small shed on the side made from foam board. That could work, too. Or... I also have a market stall kit that isn't done yet. That could be cute. I like the idea of even doing both to expand the project. Why not? I have plenty of Halloween stuff put away! Well see what I end up doing.
I made a side garden shed before on my Country house that came out really cute. This could be a cool project. Oh, they all are cool. haa!
* Come back tomorrow for more miniatures! Thanks for visiting!
