Hello everyone. As you can see from the photos below I started on the flooring for my dollshouse. In the entrance hall I decided to use a Victorian black and white diamond laminate sheet because I thought it wouldn't be too overpowering. I really liked the idea of having a real stone floor for my kitchen, so I bought random square flagstones in Marl stone from Richard Stacey Miniatures. I cannot remember if I used four or five packs but it did take a while to arrange them in a pattern that would cover the entire floor. I cut a piece of cardboard the same shape as my fireplace so that when I grout the flooring it would go up against the edge of my fireplace. I also placed a piece of cardboard in the edge against the wall between the fireplace and the back of the house so I can run the electrical wire for the light along the grove and then hide it with the skirting board fixed in place with tacky wax.
Next the messy bit of grouting. Once I had finished the grouting I positioned my fireplace into position and it fit perfectly! I really like the realistic look of the flooring now that I can see it finished.. I will probably leave the skirting board and coving until I have finished more rooms. I think the wall with the fireplace on looks too bare so I will probably do something with it; maybe purchase some brick slips to make it look as if it has a brick surround.
