A Built-In Fireplace

Ive been struggling to think about what to post. I have been working on the Westville house, I finished the Fairfield. I got a 3D printer and have been making a lot of things that way. However, one big thing that I just completed in the Westville is the built in! This is originally what … Continue reading A Built-In Fireplace →

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 →

Cottage Regrets

A few weeks ago I purchased the greenleaf Orchid kit from Hobby Lobby. With the 40% off that brought the price (with shipping) down to $30. A great deal.

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 →

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 →
