Best way to fill in a stairwell? by Cathy Weeks
I officially decided to leave out the stairs in the cottage. I bought newell posts, stair rail, and spindles to put a railing around 3 sides of the stairwell opening, only to discover that because of the slanted roof, the newell posts are too tall! The top of one of the newell post rests against...

Wallpaper questions - which order for the walls? by Cathy Weeks
I hung wallpaper in one of the rooms... looks great. I ended up wallpapering to acid-free cardstock first, but a relatively thin cardstock. I let it dry overnight, then wallpapered that to the walls. The cardstock disguised my wiring sins beautifully, and added a bit of stiffness to the paper so...

What glue to stick a floor down? by Cathy Weeks
In the dollhouse, I plan to glue the floors down that have no electrical under them, and use something like double-stick tape under the ones that do have electrical. What glue would I use for this? The flooring is a polyurethaned coffee stirrer floor with a posterboard backing. So what's the...

Warped floor - how to flatten? by Cathy Weeks
The first coffee stirrer floor is done. Stained, polyurethaned, etc. Looks great. Only problem...it's fairly warped in places, despite being flattened by books at various points, and the pushpins that held it flat while being polyurethaned. I thought about just weighing it down for a week or so,...

3.5 volt lighting - no transformer by Bernie
I have some 3.5v lights that I want to put in a dolls house. I want to use a battery and not a transformer as a power source as it will be played with by some small children. The answer to this question might be obvious but I am not sure what voltage of battery should I use - is it 3.5 volts...

Wow....staining is kinda fun by Cathy Weeks
I finished the first of the several floors I'm doing with coffee stirrers, and after sanding it, I applied a cherry stain. It looks really pretty, and the inevitable gaps have nearly disappeared... the reddish brown stain matches the background paint I used, so the gaps are much less noticible now...

Wallpapering directly to walls or to posterboard first? by Cathy Weeks
I had an idea about wallpapering - it's going to be difficult working in such enclosed spaces, (though the gable is done already - I did that portion prior to assembly - I KNEW I'd never be able to get inside there) and I was wondering how I was going to hide some of my (ahem) messy electrical tape...

Nail holes in hardwood floors? by Cathy Weeks
Ok... I started on one of the floors with the coffee stirrers. I read somewhere that you should put two tiny indents at the end of each board, so that the stain would darken them, and simulate nail holes. However, I looked at my real hardwood floor, and it doesn't have them. And the sheets of...

painting a paneled door neatly? by Cathy Weeks
The cottage has a pre-assembled door, which in my opinion, is no favor. It's got four panels on each side, that have already been glued down (and tightly, so I can't pop them off). I painted around the panels, but I have no idea how to get the edges of the panels painted without ruining the...

More copper flashing questions by Cathy Weeks
Would Victorians have used copper flashing around the base of a stone chimney? Or would someone in the current times - if they had a victorian cottage they were restoring - would they use copper flashing around a stone chimney? In my web research I've seen lots of photos of flashing around...

Kit or Homeade? by Jennie
So I am curious, purchased kit or homeade project (with plans or without?)? I have done both. I did a cheap Greenleaf kit, then built my current project without plans (tough). I also built my daughter a 'barbie' scale house that is too tall for her. It was fun and so much easier then the little...
