It's ages since I've shared any of my mini building projects with you and seeing as I'm going through a 'phase' of 'dollshousering' at present I thought I'd show you what I've been up to....
I've been 'revamping' various bits in my Victorian house one of which is the hallway. Here are some pictures. I embroidered the staircarpet and made the stair rods out of miniature brass rod. See the door at the back of the hall which gives the illusion that it is leading off to the basement kitchen...DH helped me with all the tiny spindles, newel posts and handrail as I needed two pairs of hands it was so fiddly!





Will post pictures of my bathroom which I've been 'fiddling' with in another thread

that looks perfect, well worth the fiddle bits. well done. and I just love the carpet.

Gorgeous Kath it looks so original well done

It's wonderful, Kath, thanks so much for sharing the pics. The carpet is gorgeous, well done - I can imagine how fiddly it was to do!! And overall the pic looks like a real hallway, amazingly done

Amazing - I do love your hallway very much - and wow, what a fantastic stair carpet with brass rods and all and did you also embroider the big carpet, my dear friend??? - you are very talented, and your work is sooo beautiful and true to the time it reflects - I am amazed!!!!

Thankyou so much everyone...I've tried to keep things as authentic as I can so I'm glad you all think it looks 'real'. I have enjoyed doing it. The staircarpet took me a long time to do but it's very therapeutic and I've spent many a happy afternoon in the conservatory and in the caravan on holiday doing that. Karen the hall flooring is made of a 'tile sheet' to represent the encaustic tiles often seen in hallways in the Victorian era. I have done more carpets in other rooms in the house though too. I'm working on one at the moment also. Thanks again girls..x

i love the hallway and the tiles, i have them sort of tiles in my hallway but brown blue and white, my house is 112 years old and still has some original features

I love your stair carpet Kath ..I bet that was a lot of work..
The false door is a great idea..I like the illusion it gives of more rooms back there..your hallway is just stunning with the tiles too..well done..
