1/4" Room Finally Finished!

I am finally done with my 1/4" scale room! You have no idea how excited I am to be done with this one! I am happy with how it turned out, although it is in no way perfect, I did learn quite a bit along the way.
I forgot to take the photos with the standard penny in it (for scale,) so I had my son take a quick one with me holding it in my hand so you can see how small it is. You can click on any of the photos to make them larger.....



This box is supposed to be or look like a present, so I covered the outside of the box with some very pale pink paper that is iridescent and had little swirls in it. You can't really tell, but it picks up the pink stripe in the wallpaper inside the room.


This is the front porch area


Here is the inside of the room with all of my furniture (even the stupid crooked chair.. it looked to empty without it), my plant, & a few other things I made to put in for accessories.



Here is a better view of the fireplace wall....



The other wall.....


So, there is one more piece ready for the show next weekend. I do have one more that is supposed to get done, the State Day Project, but I have run into a major snag with that one.... I began gathering all of the bits and pieces I had saved to complete that one, and for the life of me I cannot find the shelving that I had already sanded and painted. All that was left to do was install them. If I cannot find them today, there really is no point in trying to complete that one! I know they are all together in a baggie of some sort, I am just not quite sure WHERE that baggie is. It is times like these that I really wish I had my own space to do my minis in. Then it could be permanently organized & not moved around when the need arises.
Well, That is all for now, Take Care!

1/4 Inch scale room

Well, as I told you in my last post, I have several projects that I need to get finished up soon, one of which I am really not inclined to finish at all. I have had so much trouble getting inspired to work on this one. So I decided to get that one finished first & out of the way. I have been working on getting my 1/4" scale roombox done. I had ordered the furniture kits earlier this seek & received them on Saturday. So I stained them & them put them together. Below are the finished pieces of furniture.

This is the mission style chair which I am not really happy about, it did not come out as straight as I wanted it to, but it was my first kit that I had done. I havent decideed if I will actually use it in the room or not.

This is the coffee tabel that goes with the set. It turned out ok, although I did not think the legs would be angled. Oh well.

This is the rocking chair which I got to put on the front porch.

This is the couch in mission style like the others. This one came out the best I think.

Here is the roombox itself. It has a front porch wtih grass on it, but i did not take any photos of it. I Still have a bit of the finish work to do, but the inside is basically done. Then all I have to do is add the furniture.

Here is the fireplace. That was fun to put together! The little logs inside are so small, they fit inside my fingernail.

A friend of mine wants to make the cushions for the furniture, so hopefully that will add a littel bit more to the room. I also found a tutorial for doing some 1/4" scale plants using painted fake eyelashes for the greenery. I will try to work on those this week. When I get them done I will post some pictures.

Well, that is all I have for now. Take care!
