Miniatures :: Dolls :: The Houses

I love to work on my doll's houses when I'm not writing - which isn't very often! I've put a few pictures up so I can share them with you.

I have to apologise for the pictures - I've never been the best photographer in the world! - but I hope it will give you an idea of what I'm doing inside. None of the rooms are finished yet (are they ever?) but these are the nearest to completion. The house is an old one, inhabited by people who love antiques, but they live in the present day.

Desk

This is the latest addition to the Salon. I bought this desk as a whitewood carcase from Hatton Woods, and then stained, applied the marquetry and French polished it, before adding the gilding. A Carlton House desk.

Small Salon

This is the beginning of the Adam Salon. I used his Etruscan Room as inspiration. I decorated the furniture with paint and decals. It runs the width of the first floor at the side. I want to do a fancy ceiling.

Nursery Nursery1

This is the Nursery. I want to repaint the woodwork white. I used the wallpaper and the cat chair to theme the room. The bed and the rocker need painting to suit the scheme, and there needs to be a new light.

Chinese Bedroom
This is the Chinese Bedroom. I painted and decorated the furniture myself, using decals from Microscale. I made the bed myself. I always wanted an extravagant bedroom, and now I have one!
Kitchen Kitchen1

This is the kitchen. The central light needs changing, and the fridge needs filling. I also want to put pot hooks in place for the saucepans. The dresser contains my collection of "Woman's Touch" teapots. I painted and decorated the furniture myself, using stencils from The Ironworks.
