Got some new things for the Dollhouse I'm making

Firstly, I have assembled a nice bedroom cabinet:

Above: The inside

Above: Right side up.
Above: Wrong side up hehe.

I realized that maybe I should get a varnish and cover the necessary wooden furnitures with it to add gloss and to protect themselves from dust. Hmm, should I use brush with it? Or spray it...? *mumble mumble*

Okay, I wasn't able to find the other pictures, so there'll be some assembly pics that are missing.

Part 1

3. Painting

So after you have assembled all the pieces according to the instruction manual, you are now ready to paint them. Just to be safe, I used the colors as shown in the manual (it's hard to find if you don't have a background in Japanese) Colors used were Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Blue, Gold (acrylic) and White. I used mostly poster colors (because around that time, I don't have money to buy the acrylic ones, and my acrylic set were missing). After a while, the white color got absorbed by the wood, and was forced to borrow a tube from a friend.

a. Cabinet







Above. Hehehe yep~ That's my workstation haha~

You paint the main ones first, like its overall color. In the case of the cabinet, I painted the inside first because painting it last is harder when the outside is already done.

After you paint the main color, you can put in the details (optional)





4. Adding details

Once the paint is dry, you can now add hinges to the cabinets and the door.



5. Setting up wallpaper

According to the instructions, there are panels that needed to be painting (outside and floors), and the inside to be covered in wallpaper (included in the set).

Tip, don't cover the wood with white glue unless you are, unlike me, able to smoothen out the wallpaper without producing any lumps. Hehehe~



Above. Painting the outside with White Poster Paint (I used at least two-three coats)

6. Setting up the walls and other assembling

Once all the pieces are done, you can now put the wooden frames (make sure to check that you're using the correct sides), and the door. Use a Philips screwdriver (I'm using the Leatherman one) to attach the screws together.








Aaaannnddd you're done!

You can now arrange your furniture in whatever manner you want it to look like.



Above. Note, not all were painted at this point *looks at the bowl of fruits*




Above. Utensils and other really cute kitchen stuff
















And that's the kitchen, the first room on the first floor. I hope I finish the whole dollhouse by the end of this year *dances the work dance*

My Doll House: Kitchen and part of Bathroom Part 1

The box consists for a wall or a floor, then a furniture. Or a furniture, then the small parts and pieces (e.g. kitchen utensils). It comes with instructions, which you can compile and place it in a binder. It also comes with a parts' page, like an inventory of the things you get in the box. It also has this mini magazine of some of the things you may do with the parts and/or layout you can come up with.

1. Sample box and parts





2. Assembly

a. Door





b. Folding table









Here are the completed kitchen utensils. Hmmm...I should've made a size comparison...



c. Bathtub

Most of the parts that was done were kitchen things, so having this bathtub is a bit odd. Nevertheless, it's going here on this post as well.



Note. The bathtub is done by my brother.

Okay, I'll stop here. I need to find the assembly pictures of the rocking chair and the cabinet hehehe~

It won't be long now~
