THIS... Is my dollhouse..... ALMOST 6 years in the making. :} The Vermont Farm House JR. Has "7" rooms(pshaw!) and a porch
STORY TIME! :}D
I got this for Christmas when I was 12 as a father-daughter project, and my dad and I actually started right away on it. Within the first two months we had the shingles dyed, along with the walls, floors, and the roof up; but then the production just kinda.. stopped. (I guess my teen angst kicked in, we argued a lot when i was younger XD) It would sit in the garage for months at a time, then we'd pull it out and leave it on the dining room (which we only use for Christmas and thanksgiving XD) table for a month or two then put it back.. Since I'm moving the last week of September to start college, my dad and i decided that we wouldn't just leave it unfinished. So we whipped it out and got to work. Last night we finished the porch (the roof on the porch Isn't glued on because we thought we should paint the house before we glue it.)
But lo and behold, my Dollhouse :} I'll post more pictures along the way... Kinda wish I had it finished when I was 12... But now i can use it for my miniatures! :}
(O_O My cat is such a sneak!... earlier he was INSIDE the dollhouse and came out through the door -_- I thought his fat head would've gotten stuck.)
Thanks! ^_^ I know I'm going to do a bakery on the bottom floor. There's going to be a wall dividing it and one half will be the actual shop and the other will be the kitchen for the top ones I'm not sure yet maybe an ice cream parlor?
I know! I love him to pieces. His name is Prince Tiger Oliver Winston the 1st... Tiger, for short >
Ooh! That sounds awesome! I love ice cream! And making it in miniature! I was going to separate one floor into a kitchen/deli+bakery in a similar way. Still thinking about all that, though! I want to get the outside done a little more first.
It's a little different for me because I am only using my house as a set, or backdrop, for my miniature work.
Awww! I want a cat so bad! My parents won't let me get one because we already have a dog and my aunts are allergic to cats. :C
The deli sounds really unique! I really need to start working more on my miniatures. I stopped about a year ago because i never had the attention span, nor the lighting to see but now i think i can get back on the horse and do it!! >
Your miniatures are so perfect <3 x_x
we have 5 cats and a dog. Three indoor cats, one that goes in and out, and one that likes to stay outside. We used to have two, but then the outside one came along and decided to whore around and have 3 litters of kittens.. so we kept two. :} We had another one.. but he died a month ago. he got really sick and disappeared for like a week and came back really dehydrated and sick. The vet told us we had to put him down. :{ But everything's okay, he's in a better place!
Thanks! I need to get back on my miniatures, too. I have been really busy over the summer and I have big plans for The Bazaar! I want to try something a little different, and I think everyone will really like what I have planned!
Sorry to hear about your cat! My family would go crazy with that many animals around. We have one little dog, Macy. She is a Yorkshire terrier. She is really lazy and doesn't ever play :/
and that cat! LOL! Too precious!
