I didn't think you could fit in one more room into this house but there you are, achieving the unlikely , again :). I am already imagining all the fun you are going to have furnishing this new room and all the fun we will have watching you :).

They were the first and most important upgrade I made to the Lovely Old Dollhouse.... all my childhood I wished it had real doors with hinges!!! And I think I feel nearly the same about stairs... it is the realism in miniature.... in my Castle Dollhouse I had to make all the stairways go up inside the walls.... ! But I also can see the buildings as stage sets... with more "off stage" so it can be imagined too...! And yes... I think we find a lot of our answers in our Dreams.... waking or sleeping!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-35504242073168347942013-01-26T21:41:49.212-05:002013-01-26T21:41:49.212-05:00Hi Fi!

But the barn is all sliders, the house all open doorways. How have I not thought about this? But if I really stop to think about it, the studio barn loft has no staircase or ladder, you would have to fly up to get there. I guess I could make a ladder, but it blocks the view of the cafe. Aesthetics win again. And maybe flying is good - almost the way you flew into your fourth floor in your dream. What a wonderful way to find your ideas, isn't it the best way? Your subconscious whispers to you in the best possible way. And then the challenge to translate it into craft and skill and work-yes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065689076495630286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-37770124386331147772013-01-25T07:34:46.357-05:002013-01-25T07:34:46.357-05:00I am in such a bedroom faze at the moment!!

I already love the look from the balcony into the room - although you didn't spread one tiny bit of your magic at the interior... Oh, and thank you for giving me a very good laugh with that "you know I love hinges"-remark, yes, we know you do... and you're a dreamteam, the hinges and you! *wink*<br /><br />Greetings<br />Birgit BiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249478764637750851.post-6868169437586047882013-01-23T07:55:04.523-05:002013-01-23T07:55:04.523-05:00Hello Betsy,
