French Doors...

Image
  Another update.  The extension now has a front with French doors. I need to work on where it joins to the main house though. Jobs still to be done - - wall needs a better lick of paint and lots of overgrown ivy/foliage. - dormer windows need gluing down. - the patterned area below the dormer windows need a better design. - roof needs tiling. - balustrades need painting and fixing.

Visiting the Cottage

Image
  Though she loves living at the manor she misses her little cottage.😉

Windswept

Image
  A little windswept after some gardening in the manor gardens but very cosy in her autumnal themed dress and cardi.😉 Just needs some decent shoes now! 😂 Lovely dress by  @rachaelcrafts  and cardi by middlemumsminiatures on Ebay.

Deciding what to paint next...

Updated...

Image
  Photos of the art studio front and extension, new dressing room, and stained glass effects on windows. I really think the extension needs thicker MDF like the main house though. I think the floors are going to sag otherwise. Jobs still to be done - - wall needs a better lick of paint and lots of overgrown ivy/foliage. - dormer windows need gluing down. - the patterned area below the dormer windows need a better design. - roof needs tiling. - balustrades need painting and fixing. - extension needs a front!

Dressing Room...

  Dressing room (work in progress) and a lovely new dress made by  @rachaelcrafts

Mini Art Studio

Image
  Mini art studio on the roof of my 12th scale manor house. Work in progress. I used one of my mini paintings as a large canvas in the studio.😉 There will be a huge window front added.

Windows and door now fixed...

Image
This is without the extension, which still needs a front. Windows and door now fixed. Jobs still to be done - - wall needs a better lick of paint and lots of overgrown ivy/foliage. - dormer windows need gluing down. - the patterned area below the dormer windows need a better design. - roof needs tiling.

Almost finished!

Image
  Well I had almost finished this darn dolls house when I decided to add an extension with some left over 3mm MDF - conservatory, dressing room, and a little art studio with balustraded area. The latter is the last thing I need to finish. The dressing room just needs skirting board as well. The roof needs fixing and I added some stained glass effect skylights that will hopefully add coloured light down the stairs. The next photo I post will hopefully be the finished house with the front on. 🙄
