Beach House Project
I am a
member in a Dutch dolls house club and this year our group project is a veranda
/ porch.
I decided
to use my new beach house kit for this project ( so I have some “pressure” to
finish it).
2 years ago
our group project was a toy shop. I am still working on that project. I hope to finish both group projects in December 2015!!!!!
Here is the
veranda time table:
January /
February (Construction):
We have to
assemble the veranda. I will customized the kit. I would like to have a bigger
veranda not only at the entrance. I will do also a real wooden flooring not
only a paper one. I am also not satisfied with the glossy wallpaper. Maybe I
paint the walls.
March
(something to sit):
We have to
do a chair, lounge set or a sun bed. I will do the Adirondack chair which came with the kit.
I will paint it again.
The original paint is a mix of yellow and green and it looks terrible.
I will do also a
little table and maybe some cushions.
April (Storage):
We have to do a “storage”
furniture f.e. a rack or a little self. I will do a little cabinet for all the
beach toys.
May (Animals on
the veranda):
This is my biggest
problem. Maybe I do a dog basket. I will use a blue/white striped fabric. I hope to find a little cairn terrier in 1/24.
If you know where I can buy one please contact me. Thank you. A wooden nautical
bird house is also a nice idea.
June (swap):
In June we have
our summer swap. I have to do something for my swap partner’s veranda.
Kitty one of our
club member create a pinboard on pintrest:
Hope to find
there some inspirations.
July (Plants/
door wreath):
In July I have to
some plants or a wreath for the veranda. A nautical wreath with sea shells
would be nice. Or maybe a palm??
August (Drinks
and Food):
In August we will
do some drinks, food, a bbq or a cooking plate. I don’t work with Fimo so I
will do no food. Maybe I will do a cooking plate.
September
(Light):
In September we
can do a light, a fan, candles, a little lantern.....
October (decoration):
In October we
have to decorate our verandas.....cushions, pictures, candles.....this is
really not a problem. I have lots of ideas!
November (free
choice):
In November there
is a free choice. Something for the beach house.....
December (Swap):
In December is
also a swap. A little x-mas present for my swap partner’s veranda.
I really like our
group project. There is also a monthly chat where we can change our ideas.
