The completed exterior
I took the staircase out of the large rooms and will make the smaller rooms a staircase hall.
The finished interior at night lit (I changed the table in the front room since the photo.)
I removed the staircase and built a false wall and fireplace over the old wall. Because this is a B&B, the front room becomes the dining room.
Most of the furniture came from the eight boxes of packed away furniture I purchased with the house, except the armchair, which is Bespaq, and the sideboard I purchased from Mountain Miniatures. (Click photo for larger view.)
The basket of peaches is from Autumn Leaf Studio.
The wine bottle is from an artisan whose name I can't remember, but the bottle is filled with real wine and corked like a real wine bottle.
Iced tea waits on the table on a Vernon Pottery platter.
The silver cow creamer on the front room mantel (Acquisto Silver) is my homage to P.G. Wodehouse.
Before. The house builders did a nice job with the parquet flooring.
After:
Most of the furniture and accessories had been intended for the house, except the desk and chair from Bespaq. Wendy Smale pillow on the chair.
The toy soldiers on table in the back I've had forever.
All the kitchen fixtures are a kit from Hobby Builder's Supply. Each cabinet is separate, allowing you to custom fit your own kitchen.
Much of the "stuff" on the counters and the blue spatterware in the draining rack and cupboards came in my magic boxes. The draining rack, towels, and dishwashing liquid I picked up from Mainly Minis.
The cookie baking setup in progress is from by Barbara's Mini Design, purchased from Mountain Miniatures. (The owners are baking cookies for the arriving guests and a plate is already waiting in the upstairs hall.)
The staircase was relocated here. A nice nook in which to write a letter or read a book.
