Willowcrest- Tiles at the entrance hall

Good morning followers!!!!

 

Today, I would like to show you how I did the tile floor at the entrance hall....

all you need is:

cardboard

varnish

smoothing cement

coffee (no... not for you!!!)

 

First I painted a piece of cardboard with black varnish.... I just needed a very samll part of this cardboard but I'm sure that I will find some other projects for the rest of it!

 

 

I cut a pattern of the floor (also on a piece of thin cardboard) and marked the center of it...

 

 

You need some "tiles" cut again from cardboard:

tiny black squares: 0,5x 0,5 cm

big white squares: 2 x 2 cm

and long white tiles: 0,5 x 2 cm

 

 

I started in the center of the floor just by gluing the tiles with tacky glue to the cardboard pattern...

 

 

 

 

be sure to keep a small gap between the tiles...

 

 

 

 

at the end I varnished the complete floor with transparent varnish...

 

 

 

 

as soon as the floor was dry I used some smoothing cement to fill the gaps between the tiles

 

and finally I used some coffee to make the floor a little bit old and shabby... and your house smells great!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I hope you like this little tutorial and if you try it I wish you great success!!!

 

Hugs, Lina

 

Willowcrest - Day 1

I bought two wonderful chairs at the 1:12 fair in Germany last weekend and I decided to place them in my Willowcrest dollhouse!

 

These adorable chairs and carpets are made by Minimi's smatt & sant from Sweden.

 



 

 

I thought the chairs are a good reason to start to build this kit!!!!!

 

(Acutally, the Beacon Hill is still under construction because the staircase is no fitting well to the stair hall and I am not in the mood to build a new one....)

 

However, I started to build the Willowcrest and I am very pleased with the outcome at the moment!!!

 

To be sure that I will post a few new things in the next days, I will show you just a small part of the progress in each of my Posts :)

 

So... here is the beginning of my new dollhouse!

 

Again, I bashed the kit a little bit by removing the roof of the front porch!

I did a BIG mistake.... because in Europe the first floor means the second in case of a greenleafe kit.

Due to this fact I cut off the floor of the front porch instead of the roof :(

No matter.... I was able to glue all parts together and in the end it was not such a big mistake!

 

I'm thinking about cutting a window into the bathroom/stair hall wall!

 

 

So... as I told you there are already a lot of new pictures to show you!

Look forward for next Posts :)

 

See you soon!!!!
