Lighting

I have no clue how to wire a house so I tried to do easy lighting. I learned from some tutorials on IG how to make my own LED lights. These lights were meant to be lamps in a 1:12 house, but since my house is 1:24 they became ceiling lights. Materials used: Tea Lights … Continue reading Lighting →

Fairfield Exterior

The exterior of the house has been really fun to work on. I'm not completely done but I wanted to share where I am with the process through pictures. I started with the porch. Using coffee stirrers I cut ends at an angle so that they would come together nicely at the middle corner of … Continue reading Fairfield Exterior →

DIY Fireplace

I wanted the fireplaces to have a brick feel to them. I saw on an instagram post that someone used cork to make bricks and they looked really amazing so I tried it. The dollar store (which is increasingly becoming a staple craft item spot) had these adhesive back cork sheets for, you guessed it, … Continue reading DIY Fireplace →

Couch Set Update

Last night as I was making a bed for the bedroom I realized how off the scale of the couch and chair were in the living room. 1/24 scale is harder than it looks. It’s a lot of calculations. So I remade the couch set smaller. Still the same way as I did in the … Continue reading Couch Set Update →

DIY Couch

I am really proud of my first couch creation. Its a little rough and I'm sure the next time I attempt a couch itll be better but I'm still really happy about this first one. To start off I found these crafting blocks at the dollar tree. At the time I honestly had no idea … Continue reading DIY Couch →

Dining Room! (Accent Wall & Flooring)

The accent wall was fairly simple to complete. I painted the wall the color that I wanted it - in this case its orange. For the board and baton accent I also painted the wooden sticks the same color then measured them/cut them to fit. Since this house is 1:24 scale I didn't think that … Continue reading Dining Room!

DIY Kitchen

I decided for this build to make as much of the furniture as I could. I want to personalize this house as much as possible. The furniture in the kitchen is all made out of unfinished balsa wood. It was 2mm which made it very easy to cut with a box cutter. Below are the … Continue reading DIY Kitchen →

Weekend Work

I started construction of the Fairfield over the weekend. I'm taking my time with it since its a smaller scale. Smaller scale means less room to work with when decorating. Saturday and Sunday consisted of a lot of sanding. I want the walls to be as smooth as possible before adding paint. The first thing … Continue reading Weekend Work →

Rooms and their corresponding colors: Living Room: Pink (the middle pink on the second palette) and BrownKitchen: GreenLiving Room: Orange (the first one on the first palette)Bedroom #1: … Continue reading Fairfield Color Palette →

Arrival of the Fairfield

In my bedroom I have a little reading nook. In preparation for the arrival of the Fairfield I transformed it into a craft nook. Definitely an upgrade from working on my dollhouses on the floor. Unexpectedly my dollhouse ended up arriving yesterday! Which meant I was able to start working on it last night. Night … Continue reading Arrival of the Fairfield →
