My temptation got the better of me; I just couldn't pass them up. In February 2014; I purchased my first AG mini doll ~ Samantha. And the other day; I purchased two more AG mini dolls off of EBay, again. I bought a two doll combo package; two NEW dolls sealed in their boxes, another Samantha and Nellie. I am so excited; they should be arriving any day now. Since I have two Samantha's; I am going to name the second one, Rebekah. So in their future home; the Beacon Hill mansion, there will be three little girls (Samantha, Rebekah and Nellie). Gosh; there are so many rooms, each girl will have their own bedroom.
I was looking on blogs and YouTube; regarding the construction of the Beacon Hill dollhouse kit and I think I will start the assembly process, right away. One man mentioned that it took him 8 months to construct this house. I have book marked a lot of helpful information with photos on the construction. After doing my hardwood flooring technique on my current dollhouse project (The Orchid Kit); I am going to do the same thing on the mansion. The hard wood floors will take me a while. It took me three months do get that look; the hardwood floors. I cut up strips of card stock; glued each piece down, one by one. Then I did a painting technique to get the look that I wanted for the hardwood floors. Then I put three coats of polyurethane on top of that. I am not sure if I will pre-wallpaper the walls or assemble the whole house and then do my wall paper and painting. In the instructions; it says that one can do it either way. Usually; I pre-wallpaper my walls, but for this particular kit, I am thinking that if I assemble first, it will go together better. I think I will do is go ahead and cut my wall paper to fit (just as I would doing the pre-wallpapering) and then paste it into place after the shell is up. I want this to be really special; something that I will be proud of and pass down to future grandkids. If they are boys... they can pass it down to their kids.
The girls will be living in a house identical to this one! The colors may be a little different but this is the house! CLICK here to see their new future home.
This is a blog about one of my hobbies; I enjoy assembling dollhouses, decorating them. I like to window shop on EBay and various websites for unique miniatures to use for my dream dollhouse. Eventually I will be assembling my favorite dollhouse kit, "The Beacon Hill".
