In the bathroom I wanted to have a big sink with a cabinet. I already bought the sink from Chrysbon and designed a cabinet to place it in:

It isn't finished yet. Need to add some details like knobs and paint

the whole thing. The first look is through the window of the hallway:

As you can see I need to make the tiles for the bathroom as well as paint the wall the sink is up against. I made the curved wall between the hall and the bathroom, because there is no window in the bathroom and I like the view from the hall window to show some bathroom.

It's real fun to design something and have it come out the way you imagined!

I think I'll paint it like the floorboards in the hall. And there will be some baskets in the middle.
Have a nice day!

(Ps. it's 34 degrees over here and that's really hot for Dutch standards, so I think I'll deserve some icecream now ;) )

Bathroom and Hallway

I've been painting and cutting to size the floorboards of the 'masterbedroom' and hallway and

this is what it looks like now:

I only have some floor left and no more floorboards ;) I messed up the bedroom calculation.

I've made some mini-purchases too: a Chrysnbon bathroom set and a bed I already dressed a bit. It still needs some pillows and a bit of paint.

I'm now working on the stairs banisters and I've applied a stucco-look on the bathroom walls. It all has to be painted and there will be a big curtain for some privacy if needed.

;)

projects

I'm planning the dormers and the roof tiles and in between I'm working on the rooms of the first floor. The flooring on the left room is ready and I'm thinking how I want to hide the wiring. I'm trying to design cabinets on the back wall. Out of cardbox to see how it will look and later of course in wood.




















For some variety I'm also crocheting a blanket with granny squares. I've got babysize now, but want to go for at least a throw blanket. No need to get bored ;)

Have a nice weekend!

what I've been up to

Working on the roof of my dollhouse and planning the flooring of the first floor
















Making a birdhouse (1:12) for a swap. I still have to make a 1:48 one now.
















Sewing a pillow with "blankets" for the stuffed animals of the little girl I baby-sit. She loved it :)

Have a nice evening!

Welcome

It's time for the welcoming speech again ;), here we go.

A warm welcome to:

Anama at http://anamavesi.blogspot.com/. I love her room 'Waiting for 12', she won a prize with it and that's no suprise to me!

Janice at http://onbeingaminimum.blogspot.com/. She's fairly new to blogging, but already has a very pretty house to show on her blog. I really like how she writes about her cats and kids too, so sweet!

Monica at http://miniaturasmodelando.blogspot.com/. I'm super impressed with the chairs and cars she's made, wow, such craftmanship!

fantasyli li welcome too! Do you have a blog? Because I can't find one.

Carol at http://true2scale.blogspot.com/. Beautiful miniatures and great (photoshop) tutorials. Can it get any better?

Debbie Lee at http://thelittlesaintsnursery.blogspot.com/. Precious little babies and bears, so lovely!

and Kriana (?) at http://miniaturaskriana.blogspot.com/. She makes her own beautiful witch houses and also a lot of different miniatures to decorate them. Really like your diversity!

Have a nice day! I will continue to work on a birdcage for a type of swap. If it's finished I'll show you. I'm also designing the floors on the second level of my house. So lots of work, but little to show ;)

to hinge or not to hinge

Very poetic not? ;)

The front door of my house was almost installed, when I saw I missed 2 hinges to finish it.

A quick look at some webshops made me realize that hinges are pretty expensive.

I already had a try at making my own hinges a while ago (I gave up then), but the costs made me try it again.

So far I've tried pins with thick paper, plastic sheets and an empty beer can (thank you boyfriend ;) ).

The easiest way is thick paper with clear tape to make it more solid. I only have to try if I can paint it with metal paint and if the hinges work properly when installed.

I'll let you know!

The roofpanels have been sawn and the roofbeams painted. Tomorrow I will try to cut the space for the dormers.

I also have to figure out how I want the floors upstairs. O boy...so many choices to make!

groetjes and have a nice day! Evelien
