I was trying to completely finish the exterior before showing these pictures but I did a lot of work over fall break and decided to show more of my progress. Here is the original link to the first post of the Bungalow Dollhouse when I started. After that post it was knocked over and sat in pieces in a corner until now, everything you see now was done this past week. I did finish the interior lighting, stained all wood floors, cut all and installed some wallpaper, Aleene's Tacky spray is my new dollhouse favorite! I don't know why I didn't think to use it before, I had it all the time. I could have finished but I got tired and had to stop. The interior and finished exterior photos will come later. UPDATE: HEY I FINISHED THE EXTERIOR HERE IS THE LINK
On another note "the boot" came off Friday after a long 6 weeks of healing (just stretches everyday, no more cute shoes for life apparently) and now I have "mild" arthritis in my knee on the same leg (Bi-Flex) and my dad fixed the lights in the townhouse (wires too close together) so they are back working.

I saw the thumb nail in my Google reader and thought it was a real person standing outside a real home. Lovely. I love the frog sand pit but I love the picture of the house all lit up even more. Beautiful work =0)

ReplyDeleteYour bungalow is perfect and looks so cozy! I'm so intimidated by lighting, but it makes such a difference.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's childhood home looks like a version of this house. Yours is fresh and an updated version. His is now empty and in disrepair. Would love to know colors and where u got rocks for porch pillars and porch floors. Would love too see inside. Please share lol
ReplyDeleteLOVE this house! I am awaiting the arrival of the smaller bungalow kit and am driving myself crazy figuring out the exterior options. Are the stone pillars done with just a wallpaper? Hope to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteYes, embossed paper from miniatures.com
