davidd's A Doll A Day 2019

[davidd]

Oh, wow. You know, from all your photos of it I never realised how relatively small the set was. You do a great job with your angles in photos, makes it all seem far larger.

Total width of this room box is about 34 inches, or 85 centimeters, so while it's not huge, it's not tiny either. I have a removable wall, painted with slightly different patterns on each side, that I can slip in to create differently sized spaces.

I find that I am sometimes limited by the height of the back wall and the front-to-back depth. Those are two issues that will be addressed in the restoration and upgrade, along with adding structural integrity. The room box was made from regular corrugated cardboard, which tends to soften, warp, and sag over time. I will be attempting to reinforce the walls with foamcore board.

Yay for decluttering progress.  Hope you'll be inspired to do some renovations of the set and some more photos.
Maudsie is adorable, and I really love this little room set.  The angel statue is the perfect touch.

Hee hee! The "little room set" in which Maudlynne is seated is the largest room box or doll set I have ever constructed. It takes up the entire top of a desk, about 55 inches / 140 centimeters long. I used plywood, rather than the usual cardboard or foamcore board, for the walls, so I'm hoping it won't warp and sag like my smaller doll rooms.

Renovations of the smaller room box are already underway... which is a surprise even to me. 

Such a change when you declutter.

Yes; although then the problem becomes, "where did I put that ––––? It was right here before I 'cleaned things up.'"

I absolutely love seeing these 'behind the scenes' pics of your sets! Spiral staircase next, please!

The spiral staircase is also in need of repair. The styrofoam I used for the 'stone' effect was kind of soft and crumbly, so it is crumbling... in a messy bits of styrofoam everywhere sort of way rather than a picturesque ruined stonework sort of way.
