| Exterior woodwork just about done...well on the left wall. |
 |
| I finished the framing on this wall section. I added some cross pieces on each side of the 1st floor window (notice the one on the far right is notched for the 2nd floor wire) - this is where the bead board & plaster (mat board) meet. That seam will be covered by the chair rail. Then I will add a 3/8" x 1/6" piece of strip wood or mat board behind the base board - the base board is a 1/2" or 1/8" higher creating a rabbet for the bead board edge to hide behind. Note: The wainscoting & mat board are both 1/16" thick so the window trim will fit evenly over both. Same goes for the chair rail. I did a vignette where the bead board was flush with the window trim - had to do some filling, sanding & added molding to cover the gaps! |

I must say, I like the whole concept of this kit. I look forward to see how you are going to do the interior.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elga!
ReplyDeleteYes, if I must say so myself, its been a pleasure decorating it so far! I don't know what this house will be? So I guess I'm trying to be spontaneous, LOL. Also, I'm trying to use up my neglected stash of minis :)
