 I made a start on the furniture for the dining room I don’t have tables yet I am not sure whether to use round or square and whether to do them to match other items or just in white




Hear it is all put back together

This is how it is looking today still lots to do but defiantly better than no front

I am not allowed to play with power tools so I cut the front with a sharp craft knife I had to cut some from the top and dawn the side. So now I had the main part and the roof part with the tow windows that goes at the top I can re-use as it is. So that just left the small section on the right. I got the original front and cut a some thick card the same size.  in the card where the windows where on the shop front I cut holes for two smaller windows  I had.  I painted all the windows in my favourite Farrow and Ball blue paint.  I am now waiting for them to dry and then I can paint the walls.





Its bean a long time sins I posted anything as I have not got anything done on the B&B. as you all know my dolls house are in my work room and it gets very dusty and dirty with all the paint I sometimes use spray paints and in winter cannot work outside but it gets everywhere and so does all the dust from sanding items all the time. The B&B had no front on as the original one was a shop front and was no good for the B&B. I thought about having one made but don’t really have the money spar just now and the inside is starting to get dirty. I had I front that I acquired a long time ago that I really like but it was too big so thought it would be no good. I decided to have a go at cutting it down to fit.
This is how it looked before it became the B&B
 
And the front that was too big

After a very busy few weeks to day a had a bit of a play with the B&B I think I am happy with the layout of the large bedroom but I cannot decide on the colour of the furniture should I just give it a coat of clear varnish paint it and if paint what colour white blue or gay or should I stain it with a darker colour wood stain. I have also been playing with the layout of the bathroom. The smaller two bedrooms on the top floor do have to share a bathroom but each bedroom dose have a sink in it.
