This is a project I have been working on occasionally for a few months now and I want to introduce you to it so you'll have some history when you see pictures. As fan of shabby chic home design, I was quite keen to do a dolls house in this style, so when a Dollshouse Emporium kit house came up on ebay I purchased it. I hadn't realised from the photos how big the house and basement were going to be. I travelled some distance to collect it, so I had to make sure it got wrestled into my small car somehow. Following a very uncomfortable drive home, here's how it looked on arrival.
It has six rooms divided by a central staircase which I plan to remove as I feel the current arrangement limits what you can do with the layout. Those black spots you can see are holes drilled for electric cables but the new lighting will be more subtle. As you can see it has a huge basement (called The Burleigh) which takes up a lot of room, so I plan to slim this down when I reconfigure the house.
Tomorrow I will share the first stages of preparing the house for its makeover.
