Furniture

Yay! Lots of progress on the house. First off, I made some cute furniture.
There's a tutorial on www.letsbuildadollhouse.com that I used.

I also made a HUUUGE couch, that is the proper scale, but since this house is a cottage, and tiny, the couch is big. It's like trying to fit a couch into a closet.

Well, there it is. And that little doll. The mahogany table is one I purchased from the store, and I stained it cherry.

That bed in the back was simple. Just cover a little foam pad with fabric, put pleats on the piece of wood there, and then glue it all on. I'll make a tutorial...I guess.

I also added the trim for the house today...using hot glue. I decided to do that, since clamping it would be tricky if I used regular wood glue. See, my reasonings:

• wood glue is strong, but needs clamping
• the trim isn't gonna need to support weight
• if the trim is just going to be "there," it doesn't need super strong bonding
• So, I used hot glue on it.

Here's a pic.

The lighting is weird, so you need to angle your head to see the grille work. By the way, I still haven't got the door installed...I think I lost one of the casings.
