This pic I got off the
web to show what the house is meant to look like. when I got the one I
am making it was like this, unpainted. It had a few less stuff. like
the door, windows, stairs little hearts put on |
|
Darrell had the shell
finished and I painted the house in the basic colors. I don't like the
window boxes with the curves on the bottom and I don't intend to put
those little "foo foo" hearts on this house either.

Here we've added a
piece to the bottom of the window boxes to hide the curve cut. Added
the "x" shape trim on
the front door. And we used a 60 grit sandpaper cut into strips of
"shingles" for the roofing. Still have the crown shingles to go on. Now
to decide what to do and what to make this little house into. The true
one inch scale stuff doesn't fit in the tiny little rooms. Half inch
seems to be too small.

I decided to make this
into a thrift store. I found the "Dollar store" furniture seemed to be
the right size for these houses. The bottom floor is the store , and
the top floor is the store owner's home. There's a 1960's aluminum
Christmas tree that I made, and the round table next to the rocking
chair upstairs is the plastic table that comes in home delivery pizza
to keep the box from sticking to your cheese. Thank you pizza hut.

The bedroom bed needed
to be recovered, I did not like the checked stuff they had on it. I
made a mattress and a quilt for it. The sitting room rug was a piece of
upholstery fabric. The neat thing about this little store is that it's
a good place to store all the little things I am making to use other
places and no matter what it is, it never looks "out of place" in the
second hand store.
