My first house

My first house
'kensington' in early stages

In the beginning

I have always wanted a dolls house!! And it wasnt until around 8 years ago I decided to get one - luckily for me I had help in building it, as i wouldnt have known where to start, not being great with my hands!!
However, I no longer have that help and after 5 years of collecting dust in the spare room the house is now being completed slowly!!
Here I will record all my progress, I hope you enjoy seeing it come to life over the months (hopefully not years)

coming on nicely




Have added the stair carpet which Im rather pleased about, havent attempted the bannister and spindles yet, but will have to eventually!! Made a mistake with patching a carpet in at the front instead of keeping it at the back, so shall have to rectify that so its not as noticable

2nd room



Today I was waiting for a delivery of some tools and more lights, was hoping to do some more work, but nothing arrived so thought there was nothing much I could do at this stage.
However, I restained the door and added the frame which was already mitred - and put on the skirtings! Only the coving and bannisters to go on now!
This room is going to be a study/gentlemans room
