Then you'd have light in the bathroom and bedroom potentially.

Thanks so much for the encouragemen...Hi Elizabeth! Thanks so much for the encouragement! I've been on the fence about selling my kitchens, I think I need to do another couple before I really get the design in a place to sell. They can be so delicate. I decided earlier this year to focus on building the house and I will only make things for sale or do tutorials as I make them for the house. I think it's hard for sellers to balance making inventory and actually enjoying working on their own projects. So we'll see how the year goes.<br /><br />And yes I'm on the cover! Thanks so much! I found out just as I had promised to do this post so I decided to wait until after to announce it. I actually wanted to snap a photo of the real magazine but as you are aware living north of the border shipping will probably take weeks haha so I'll probably just snap a photo from the digital copy. I also have new photos I wanted to share that I took specifically for that article. Very soon :DKristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-18384573908934647382018-06-10T14:58:54.282-04:002018-06-10T14:58:54.282-04:00Thanks Marion, the chimney really is my favourite....Thanks Marion, the chimney really is my favourite. I wish I could figure out how to add in another dormer in the third floor but I don't think the design will allow it. <br /><br />I know this house is going to be so much work and material! But I'm kind of happy I won't be building another structure for a while. I'm looking forward to spending time on the finishes and the decorating. I rushed through that last year in order to finish in time for the contest.<br /><br />I'm so amazed you are able to build a house a year!<br />Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-62791286040012154912018-06-10T14:56:17.704-04:002018-06-10T14:56:17.704-04:00Thanks Genevieve!

I'm really happy that these have the mullions because I think they provide the most realistic shadows when the light comes through. It's much harder to make contemporary windows look real in 1:12. :)Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-8705378229169475262018-06-10T14:54:40.547-04:002018-06-10T14:54:40.547-04:00Gracias Pilar!

I do believe that you should be in business making custom kitchen kits for retail because single kitchen you make Kristine, I'm Bowled Over with! <br />Your kitchen layout and the Fabulous window-wall are ideal for incorporating natural light, architectural interest and that desired long-view into the other rooms- I LOVE how they look! <br /><br />elizabeth<br />p.s.

The facade is looking great with the new porch addition and the chimney stack, and the extra room in the interior makes the entryway so spacious and inviting! I know that whatever layout you decide on for the second and third floors will be brilliant - you just need some time, now that the walls are up, to let it marinate for a while.<br />I hope you get to make the most out of your next laser cutting slots and that everything goes seemlessly!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-60990561547476169092018-06-09T17:02:56.650-04:002018-06-09T17:02:56.650-04:00Es genial esta parte del diseño donde tienes que t...Es genial esta parte del diseño donde tienes que tomar montones de decisiones y pensar en como quedará mejor-La imaginación trabaja a un ritmo frenético.Isabel Ruizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237109170061222494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-52224216431303254592018-06-09T14:48:37.535-04:002018-06-09T14:48:37.535-04:00Thank you Drora!

It's really an interesting thing... you use a lot of real house building concepts to make the structure, but at the same time some things just don't translate well into 1:12 scale and you have to find other methods.Kristine PaperDollMiniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348940337267272223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776777711016680502.post-85019873566986375682018-06-09T14:46:34.149-04:002018-06-09T14:46:34.149-04:00Thanks for all the ideas Sheila! I was thinking o...Thanks for all the ideas Sheila! I was thinking of adding some sort of closet feature in that large bathroom on the second floor. I know it's kind of too large for just a bathroom but I really want two angles to look into the space, so maybe a set of double doors will do the trick. I'll definitely play around with your laundry idea. I think it will be easier now that I can see every space. I hadn't thought of the realism of having two bathrooms on top of each other! I was actually thinking I should avoid that... but it would make sense!<br /><br />I'm just not sure about the dormers? Would they look funny on the front? The chimney is kind of in the way. Would be nice from the inside though.<br /><br />So much to think about...

Depen...It looks so good so far! Love your stairs.<br /><br />Depending on which walls are hinged, you could split the second floor bathroom in two and make a smaller ensuite with a walk in closet. Or just a really huge bathroom/dressing room with a vanity. The big windows of the empty space lend themselves nicely to an office. If that side wall is hinged you could slide laundry behind it? A narrow door at the back wall right next to the stairs to the third floor?<br /><br />For realism, if you have a second bathroom on the third floor it would go above the second floor bathroom. And you could make it a smaller room with a larger kids bedroom next to it, both with small dormers like the Houseworks one? With small four or six pane windows?<br /><br />I know what you mean about nerves. Every time a cat gets curious I feel like I'm holding my breath!<br /><br /><br />Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074992134112478195noreply@blogger.com
