In the meantime, I'll just work on furnishings and keep reading everyone's blogs for sage advice and great tips!<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />JonquilJonquilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288393310275959112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181168266655950739.post-30563290812643525062012-02-24T16:02:23.351+01:002012-02-24T16:02:23.351+01:00I built my houses from plans in a book, It gives y...I built my houses from plans in a book, It gives you more scope to alter things than a kit house might. I want to create a dolls house of my own design next, and have been thinking about room layouts the same as you have. I think it might be worth you looking at some dolls house fairs, if you can, to see just what is possible in 3D rather than from books, which are another useful tool of course, but you rarely get to see every angle of a house in a book. That said there are some really great kits out there too!<br /><br />this probably hasn't helped you much at all has it! lol! ;)<br /><br />regards<br />Andy xxAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181168266655950739.post-50984776523043249772012-02-23T19:59:31.250+01:002012-02-23T19:59:31.250+01:00Hello!

As for to build or not to build...Dewell Manor is my first attempt at woodworking. Prior to this project I'd only built mini kithcne cabinets.<br />The best advice I could give is, if you do decide to build from scrath, have someone cut the panels for you. I had each piece of the structure cut by the hardware store. This way, I was sure they would cut everything straight...the only limitation is that they only cut 90 degree angles.<br />Cutting window, door and other openings is not very difficult. The only power tools I've used so far are a dremel and table saw. <br />I actually enjoyed working from kits, I just didn't find one that could be bashed into my vision.<br />Hope this helps, can't wait to see your project come to physical life. Remember, No Fear!<br />Hugs,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181168266655950739.post-71454154354031215812012-02-23T19:58:09.551+01:002012-02-23T19:58:09.551+01:00You should send an email to Ted at Dolls House Con...You should send an email to Ted at Dolls House Concepts. He's a very obliging man. I have one of his properties and he customised it to suit my purposes.<br /><br />I like the idea of your modest Scots abode and will follow with interest. <br /><br />I hope you manage to get to a decision soon.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182285759059917550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2181168266655950739.post-35599754123545387282012-02-23T10:51:35.486+01:002012-02-23T10:51:35.486+01:00I'm anxious to see the next step. ;)
