I’ve been making a number of accessories for the Studio as well as finishing up yet more trim and structural details. I cut a section of Feathers scrapbook paper by Recollections, glued it to a piece of black mat board and had instant wall art!
I made a bath mat and rug for around the toilet using baby terry cloth. I cut the shapes and then dabbed Fray Check all along the edges.
I made two modern block shelves for groceries and dishes to sit on above the Miele half fridge. I have more accessories planned for this space. The tiny cross stitch is by Mary Lynne at The Dollhouse Needle, but it has since been moved to the living area.
On the exterior, I wired the wood stove flickering LED switch inside the firewood box.
As shown previously, the firewood lifts out to access the switch and battery inside.
I created a simple step for the door from basswood.
Even with templates, the red siding didn’t fit perfectly when installed. There was also a seam near the top in front where the wall was taller than the length of the siding strips. I painted strip wood to match and covered these imperfections.
It’s a subtle change, but it makes the structure more complete.
Slowly but surely…I’m getting there! :D
