Hello everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in nearly two months! Real life often gets in the way when all you want to do is your hobbies.
I have been busy with my Grosvenor, even though I haven't updated in so long. I've managed to finish my panelling for my living room and I glued the floor in place. All that's left for this room now is the ceiling, coving, light fixture, door and the chimney breast.
I'm still trying to decide what to do for my ceiling, I'm torn between leaving it plain with a large ceiling rose, ceiling paper or some type of moulding, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Overall I'm very happy with my panelling. It was made using thick card, thin strips of balsa wood, skirting board and dado rail. I painted everything with white gesso as I didn't want the panelling to look too shiny. The piece in the far corner behind the chimney breast is removable so I can access the wire for the fireplace if I need to; I want to hide all the wires behind walls and under floors if possible.
My next step is probably to work on the ceiling and coving, I'm thinking probably an egg and dart design. The doors will have a white surround and the doors will probably be the same colour as the stairs in my hallway.
It feels sometimes like I will never complete this dolls house but I'm slowly making progress. My intention is to complete the first floor (living room, hall and kitchen) by August at the latest so I can start on the next floor; which will be a drawing room/library, hall and dining room. Wish me luck; I'm going to need it!
Any advice or constructive criticism would be well received.
Sorry again for the delay in updates and thank you for looking.
Take care x
