Immediately after I posted my last entry, I decided I couldn’t live with this awful corner after all and I started thinking about how I could fix it. Turns out it wasn’t that hard. I started by laying the wallpaper/wainscot piece for the right wall (which wasn’t glued in yet) on top of a new […]
Tag: Bathroom (Page 1 of 2)
Fourteen months after I started the Mansard Victorian’s bathroom by kitbashing Cassidy Creations kits into a linen closet, I’ve finally hit the home stretch with this little room. Something that was holding me up was my indecision over whether I should finish the area behind the bathroom door. The door is set in a false […]
Multiple people have asked me recently what I’m working on mini-wise, and I’ve said I’m working on nothing, and it’s because of Daisy. She’s around 17 months old now (the vet actually adjusted her age a few months younger than we thought she was), and she’s doing well with training, but she still has a […]
I’ve been working on the Mansard Victorian’s bathroom for way too long. I started it last April when I bashed two Cassidy Creations kits into a linen closet and then dropped off over the summer when Momma’s Kitchen (and a new dog) diverted my attention. In September I got back to it for a little […]
Back in May, I wrote about how I made a false wall and ceiling for the Mansard Victorian’s bathroom. I never posted pics, but I went on to make false walls and ceilings for the bedrooms on either side of the bathroom. The bathroom wall is set in a bit, to make room for the […]
Oops, how is it fall already?! The Mansard Victorian has been sitting neglected all summer, but I’ve finally made a little progress on the bathroom. My excuse for the delay is this little bundle of joy. Her name is Daisy and she was estimated to be 6–9 months old in July. We’ve been working on […]
The Mansard Victorian’s upstairs ceilings look lower than they are, due to a 5/8″ strip underneath the roof trim that hangs down over the top of the rooms. Originally I thought about putting flourette bulbs or LEDs behind that trim piece, since they’d be hidden, but instead decided to take advantage of that space to […]
My Mansard Victorian didn’t come with any door holes in the walls. Since it’s a front-opening house, I decided to add false walls with doors along the back wall, to give the illusion that there’s a hallway there. The false wall gives me an opportunity to add a built-in linen closet to the bathroom. I […]
Once upon a time the Victorianna had a pretty peach bathroom. This was the first room I finished (four years ago!) and I was really happy with it. The tiles were from Elf Miniatures and I loved the color. Fast forward a year. About six months after moving into our new house in San Francisco, […]
This week I’ve been working on the shower, tub faucet, and trim in the Victorianna’s master bathroom. Everything was in progress at the same time so I’ve divided this post up by topic instead of showing the pictures chronologically. Shower To make the shower floor, I laid down a piece of beadboard (with the grooves […]
After a long hiatus, I’m back to work on the Victorianna’s master bathroom. The problem with getting distracted mid-project is that it takes a while to remember what I was doing and what I planned to do next. The last time I worked on this, I had made good progress on the vanity and linen […]
Continuing with the linen closet that only exists because I cut a piece of wallpaper badly: I painted the door and the closet Tuscan Beige, the trim color I’m using throughout the house. It looks white when there’s nothing white near it, but here you can see how different it is from the bright white […]
The Victorianna’s master bathroom is 7.5″ deep, which gives me a nice long wall for the vanity. Even with the tub in place at the front corner I have 5″ to play with. I’m not used to such big bathrooms in dollhouses! (Or real life, for that matter.) I had been planning to bash a […]
The Victorianna’s master bathroom is a jack-and-jill bath with one door leading to the master bedroom and one door to the nursery. Because the real tile I’m using is thicker than usual dollhouse flooring, I had to modify the doors to enable them to swing over the tile. The threshold of Houseworks doors is higher […]
I took a break from the Victorianna’s master bedroom to get started on the master bath. I cut a side wall from a piece of plywood. It’s going to be a “Jack and Jill” bath with one door leading into the nursery and one into the master bedroom. Here’s a mock-up of the furniture placement. […]
Something tragic happened in the Victorianna. At some point after we moved to San Francisco last fall the bathroom floor I loved so much got totally bleached out. My new workshop didn’t exist yet and the sun must have been shining through the garage window onto the house. I didn’t notice until it was too […]
Every year, the Half Scale Yahoo Group does a swap, and I participated this year for the fourth time. It’s a fairly large affair — this year we had 39 participants — so it’s important to come up with items that don’t have too many steps and can be made relatively cheaply. The value of […]
I just put together the second half of the Victorianna and have to do something with myself while the glue dries, so here are pictures I never posted of the practically finished bathroom. The tub, toilet, and laundry basket are 3D printed pieces from Shapeways. I scratch built the linen closet, vanity, and plantation-style louvered […]
It’s been years since I did anything with the Fairfield. It sits on a table at the top of the stairs and I stop and look at it now and then, but besides adding new accessories on occasion, it doesn’t change much. I (more or less) finished the Fairfield in 2010, and all this time, […]
I completed not one, but two half scale shower surrounds today — one for the Victorianna and one for the long-dormant Queen Anne Rowhouse. (Besides shingles, the bathroom is the last big thing I need to finish in the Rowhouse…) For reference, here’s what I started with in the Victorianna: And in the Rowhouse: I […]
