Willowcrest Update

Hallo followers!

 

I'm sorry that I didn't post for such a looooong time :-(

Well, I was a little bit busy during the last weeks...

Last week I married my beloved sweetheart and we spend a few days in Paris for honeymoon.

 

There I visited the shop of Lea Frisoni and my sweetheart bought a present for me.

 

 

 

I chose a small side table for the bedroom:

 

 

A few weeks ago I also spend a few days alone in Paris to visit a meeting at the Pasteur Institute.

I also used the time in October to visit Lea Fisonis shop and I bought this little table.

Unfortunately, it was damaged during the flight back to Vienna.....

But I'm sure that I can fix it with a little bit of glue:

 

 

 

Beside all the preparations for the wedding I had a little time to continue the work on the Willowcrest dollhouse.

Here is a Picture of the entrance:

 

 

And this is a Picture of the kitchen:

 

 

The kitchen will be "dirty" soon but I wait until more rooms are finished so I can do it at once.

 

I wish you all a merry Christmas and I try to post more pictures next year!!!!!!

 

See you soon,

Willowcrest- Day 4

I did it again... I bashed the kit!

 

I love windows and thereby I cut a few new windows into the walls of the Willowcrest!

 

 

I cut a door into the left wall to use the baywindow as a balcony:

 

 

and three windwos into the staircase wall

 

and one window for the bathroom.

 

I'm really happy about the fact that the greenleaf houses are made of "soft" wood because I cut the windwos with a simple cutter!

And I did it after the house was already assembled :-)

 

I hope you have a nice day!

 

See you soon,

Hugs Lina

 

Willowcrest- Day 3

Hey everyone!

 

I'm sorry that I didn't post for such a long time...

The reason for this is:

 

1.) I'm finnishing my phD Thesis

and

 

2.) My marriage will be this December :-)

 

I'm so happy and exited!!!!!!

So I'm folding a lot of paper flowers etc. for the wedding.

 

However, yesterday I decided to continue the building of my willowcrest dollhouse.

Here are a few pictures for you:

 

The hall on the second floor:

Have a nice day and see you soon!

Willowcrest- Day 2

Good morning everyone!!!!

 

I allready finished the building of the Willowcrest dollhouse a few days ago. But just the bare woodwork and not the tiles, wallpapers, etc....

 

Again, I bashed the kit! The chimney in the attic room was hughe and there was no proper space for a double bed! Actually, the attic was originally planned as one big room but I didn't like it!

So, I cut the chimney and added a ceiling to the kit and three walls! Now I have a small stair hall, a bedroom and one additional tiny room. No idea what I will do with this tiny room, but I like it!

 

Furthermore, I cut two windows into the foam board walls to the staircase to make it more "open".

 

Thank you for all the tips concerning the elecrifitcation of my dollhouse!

I decided to use the wire technique!

 

Have a nice weekend!

See you soon,

Lina

A new project!

Hey followers!

 

I will start a new project called "townhouses"!

For this reason I added a new tab to my blog, which is only dedicated to this new project!

 

I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do!

 

See you soon, Lina

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
