    I love the enhanced window, shows how our dolls houses constantly evolve just like full size homes. I also love the excessive use of glue warning, you crack me up! ❤😂❤

    That porch looks so inviting! And I love how the dormer turned out. When it comes to paper templates, try using a re-positionable strength glue stick to temporarily keep that paper stuck. The glue is the strength of the kind on post-it notes so it holds real well and allows you to concentrate on the cutting, then you just peel it away after you're done. This new house is so exciting!

    The dormer is nicer now , and the porch flooring looks realistic and suits the age of the house.

    Lmao, like you I am an excessive glu-er but even I sat mouth open saying HOLY SH*T watching the porch....you had it all covered in glue, AND THEN YOU ADDED MORE!!! Lucky you're so good at what you do because that porch is not going anywhere now lol. The dormer window looks so much better now with the wood panels, and you did a great job showing how you problem solved it. It's videos like this that I bet will give people the confidence to try and do things themselves.

    As the owner of a real life size old house, I completely appreciate all the custom work you do on your houses. Unevenness, ill fitting joints, marriages of mixed floor types, sizes and colors are FOR REAL! For those of us who love these spaces, all these things are what gives a house, mini or human scale, CHARM! 😍I am so in love with this attic room, if I ever get to make my attic into a room, I'll be showing the workers pictures of your dollshouse! 😍✨

    I so agree. Woodwork was invented to cover up gaps and gaffs and is only secondarily decorative. We figure that out as we learn our craft, right? Love the porches. They look so authentically worn.

    Hello Gretchen, the dormer looks so much better with the wood panelling on. The porch looks great too, it reminds me of the American houses you see in the movies with the wooden verandahs on the front. Have a lovely week.

    Wow! That glue use was truly... excessive. 😄 I think you need to call your therapist for more sessions to treat your EGU. The porch looks great in the end, but cleaning up the extra glue is just extra work and expense- it doesn't help hold the boards in place. I know you can conquer this! 😊Aunt Bess and Aunt Janie are going to love their new space!

    The window looks great, and the porch flooring works well with the rest of the house! I want to try making a doll's house, but I think I should start small and make a room first. Hahaha! Have you tried using wood filler for those little gaps?
