Getting Away.......
I hope you will not mind too much, Dear Readers, if I don't continue with Daphne's Story this week! I have been so absorbed with the Drama of this Tale... creating the Park, the birds, the clothes, the settings and taking all those photos..... that I sometimes almost forget there are other things to do! I am going to be Traveling to visit my Mother who lives thousands of miles away! So the real life adventures are going to be taking all my mini time for the next week or two! But rather than leave you "hanging on that cliff" with Nothing to do.... I thought I would fill this Intermission (every Loooonnng Story should have an intermission!) with a small update on the Tree House Nursery! Because, In spite of my obsession with the Story Telling... I have found moments in which I have worked on my other projects.
Above you can see the Tree House as it currently stands....
with all the doors closed.
And here you can see all the doors open!
The rooms are (from the bottom)
the Kitchen,
the Salon,
the Library,
the Chinoiserie Master Bedroom,
the Abalone Shell Bathroom,
and the Nursery, just being started.
Here you are a bit closer....
it is so hard to show any of the details this way!
But you get a good sense of its scale beside The Folly!
This time, the progress I wanted to show you was to the Nanny's room.
But first, I have to show you the newest "extension" of the Tree Framework....
I needed to add another solid post at the side
for the Nanny's Door to hinge upon!
You can see it at the right in the above photo.
And then I needed to add the Nanny's door.....
And it needed to have Tiny shutters in the window......
With Hinges!!!
So they can be opened.....
And closed!!!
(I LOVE Tiny Hinges!!!)
Here you can see I have stained the door and am adding the paper twist trim.....
using my trusty clothespins for clamps! :)
Here you can see the door with the Inner Framework for the room wall...
so you can tell where the sections will abut when the door is closed.....
and I am adding the match stick paneling in the side sections.
Here you see the Nanny's Room door from the outside....
hinged on that new post!
Here you can see the Tree House exterior on the upper corner.....
With the doors all closed.....
And here you can see the side doors all open.....
Here you see the Nursery and Nanny's Room
looking down from above!
And a view of the Nursery again....
before the match stick wainscoting was stained...
And with the Inner Door frame in place but not yet stained....
(sorry about the terrible lighting... it was late at night!)
And another glimpse of the bed alcove......
still waiting for the pillows and bed covers!
And in the back corridor.....
more stairs spiraling upward.....!
What? Another level?????
Well, we will see when we get there, Dear Readers!
But for now....
We are just Getting Away with
A Little Intermission!
Be Back Soon!
