I am very pleased with the way the front door turned out.....but it does make the REST of the front of the house look like it needs something.....so you will be seeing more about that! I, too, absolutely love that old look in houses...I think it is working because I am using the old materials and they are hand made and not perfect scale and a bit rough cut. But there is also just a "look" that is familiar to me because I grew up in old houses and I'm trying to capture that feeling. The old book of Vermont houses really helps too!<br />And as for the bathroom....well....um...this IS a problem I have been wrestling with! I have a few ideas that will hopefully allow the tiny people some privacy! But you can see that the original design has left me with few choices! Besides, how much privacy do they expect with us big people peering in their windows all the time anyway? :)!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-86287729342954714842010-05-29T10:27:42.785-04:002010-05-29T10:27:42.785-04:00Thank you Christine! If I didn't know before.....Thank you Christine! If I didn't know before....I certainly know now how dangerous the path is.....I'm currently "working" on four dollhouses! And then there is the "List" of ones I want to do! I'm frolicing down that path...and we will never again use the dining room to eat in.....:)Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-2278994170930826082010-05-29T03:30:12.680-04:002010-05-29T03:30:12.680-04:00Let me begin from the beginning , dear Betsy :). F...Let me begin from the beginning , dear Betsy :). Firstly that door frame is just F-A-B-U-L-o-U-S! I know I may have used that word a lot but can you tell I mean every single letter? <br /><br />I don't know what you did but I love the way your freshly painted fixtures still manage to retain an old and vintage feel. Exactly like how my pre-war house look after being given a fresh coat of paint. So keep doing what you are doing. <br /><br />That stairs is looking so fabulous, it makes your house look really stately now :). Now I see why you said you had no choice but to bash the exterior as well.<br /><br />Lights, o yes, the magic of lights. I too found some flickering light which I dismantled from a fixture. I am using that for hurricane lamps. But I can totally understand why you say you could not go back to those dark days anymore .<br /><br />Now those bathroom tiles baffle me a little. So your bathroom is there? Right next to the stairs? Is it a , erm, a very "progressive" household where they don't need doors for their bathrooms? :) Just joking.:)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-26863821714786170842010-05-29T02:59:55.715-04:002010-05-29T02:59:55.715-04:00this is a very dangerous path that you are heading...this is a very dangerous path that you are heading down... i hope you know that there's no turning back! one thing leads to another and just when you think you're done, another house will catch your eye...... its looking good, christine:)christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232111023828864209noreply@blogger.com
