Left is second floor, below is first floor. Last is the third floor.
My first doll house one made by Woodline products. It was called the Homestead. Of course I did some kit bashing, and made it into something else. I was going for Victorian. I'm not to sure what it was. In the last move it got destroyed. But I saved the pieces anyway, thinking it might be salvageable.
Well, it looks like this today because I've been gutting it and opening up the windows and doors, etc. Second and third floors had to go, so I replaced them with a really nice piece of plywood. It wasn't that easy working with a mini hack saw and a Dermal tool.
Yesterday I worked all day sanding and getting it ready to glue back together. The first floor can go back together, but I'm waiting on the second floor double french doors, and some clapboard siding for that section that is missing. I think I got the curved staircase right this time, as it is right in-front of the front door.. {I cut a hole in the floor so one could ascend the stairs to the second floor.}
Here are some pictures. It will be painted of course, and new wall paper inside.
Sometime today I will glue the first floor back together, with windows and door. I have to decide floor plan now.
This house has another whole section on one end. that allows for 3 more rooms, or as it went, 2 rooms and a balcony. With the plywood floors, all one piece {not cobbled together masonite} it should hold up better. I'm deciding color now as well. The outside will be painted 2 shades of green and a clear white. I think that will look better.
Well, back down the rabbit hole.
