Some of the new furniture items for the Guest bedroom. Still got to make the lamps and finalize what art I'll be using in there. #dollhouse #miniatures #12thscale #bedroom #dollhousesofinstagram (at Ellerslie Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGI_xDgjYUX/?igshid=g8qdivf44l2v

The stairwell is finally done - I tell ya, the banisters were up there as some of the trickiest and frustrating mini stuff I have done in 25+ years. Also got the art work hung up too. #dollhouse #miniatures #miniart #miniarchitecture #entrance (at Ellerslie Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-YAVv3Jnfp/?igshid=12vt68u7x32j6

Very quite mini project that took a year to get around to, mini versions of the portrait of our original fur babies. These will go into the stairwell of the house, with a few other pieces. #dollhouse #miniature #miniatures #miniart #furbabies #portrait (at Ellerslie Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-UDDhhjacJ/?igshid=3l00aeot5hpi

After a bit of mucking around I got the chandelier installed. I know it a bit over the top but I think it looks okay now it's done. The idea for this came from the amazing stairwell lighting is @s.lightman awesome modern mini house. Sorry to all the people who voted for the Wave mural, I tried it but looked too washed out, so Tigers took the win. The last pic is the exterior of the cupola. #dollhouse #miniatures #wowfactor #hamptons #crystals #miniarchitecture #luxe #12thscale (at Ellerslie Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ceWyTJgVm/?igshid=6swwz0hvkrww

How does one make an almost two storied tall (1:12th scaled equivalent) modern crystal chandelier: 1. Declare the living room a cat-free zone all day (I swear it turned into Kittie Attica outside the door). 2. Lots of crystal beads, just under 300. 3. Lots of UHU all purpose clear. 4. Lots of cheap cotton thread that just seems to be determined to tangle two threads let alone 20. 5. Lots of creative swearing. 6. Find out the easiest way to do it (ie suspending it over the edge of a bookcase from skewers) until you are 80% through stringing it. #dollhouse #miniatures #crystals #craftissues #diynightmare https://www.instagram.com/p/B9a54ohJq5X/?igshid=n59h3gp4uswc

A bit more of the stairwell done now. Next step is the cupola (you can see the base on the last pic). Then all the banisters to be done. #miniatures #miniature #dollhouse #12thscale #panelling #hamptons #stairs (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9IQyQHJF8A/?igshid=18facpp6fzlml

Because it was sooo much fun cutting panelling for the stairwell, I decided to do yet more panelling in the Guest Bedroom. Thankfully it's not floor to ceiling this time. #dollhouse #miniatures #miniature #12thscale #bedroomdecor #hamptons #panelling (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83VN6vpp3F/?igshid=1u39m9dipei2a

Walls and first stair case installed still got the cornices and stair railings to do. The light fixture is simply a perspex drum, with a hundreds of perspex strips glued in layers around the outside. #dollhouse #miniatures #miniature #12thscale #foyer #panelling (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8mUYyEpMI5/?igshid=j7gqk11m1asz

Dry fit of the Foyer panelling and first floor stair case. I went for the archetypal floor to ceiling "Hamptons " square panelling for this level (it'll also be on the second level too at this stage). I'm glad I'm only doing it in the Foyer and Stairwell, a lot of cutting. Would you believe all of the ground/ first floor was all going to be this panelling. #dollhouse #miniatures #miniature #foyer #hamptons #panelling #miniarchitecture #firstimpression (at Ellerslie, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YVop-JBwL/?igshid=1pz1qf7mihum
