Rflong, I just finished Vanilla Chocolate Christmas House. It has 2 Bedrooms, a nursery, and 3 bathrooms, and it's "dressed for Christmas". It too is in my studio. I will make a small family for this one as it is a copy of my best (Pre-teen) friends house, built in the most part by her great grandfather around 1880, altered shortly after World War 1 when they had to move the house to extend a factory for all the soldiers coming home. At the move of course they had to leave their dirt floor cellar behind and with it their pride and joy of a wood furnace in the cellar. At the time this house was built they didn't have furnaces in the cellar, so it was considered that her great grandfather was a man ahead of his time, and pretty much the originator of putting furnaces in Cellars and forgoing fireplaces in every room.
I included the back hall (where I placed the scultures tool) but behind the staircase in the far left corner was a smallish door (it's not in my house though) that had at one time led down rickety stone and dirt stairs to the cellar ( or so I was told when I asked about the door, as it was a really small door). In those day the back stairs to upstairs was considered the helps stairs, as the family always used the front stairs. Seems odd in a house that is not at all on a grand scale, but I copied it as best I could, and this is about the size of it..
Just figured I'd share a bit of history where I knew the house and the occupants. I actually did not ever meet Barbaras great grandfather, as he was long gone before my time - but I used to be a really big history buff and love houses with a history. Like I said it isn't anything much, but then neither are most of our nations historic houses. The only thing I could not even begin to duplicate was this huge wood and gas (I believe it was gas) stove that was actually in the kitchen where I put the table and two chairs that was used to heat the house as well as cook on once they moved the house. There were also ornate carved cast grates in the floor of each bedroom that was supposed to let heat from downstairs upstairs. I can tell you it did not work very well in my veiw . Eventually Barbaras family got a new house, and that became a three season summer home for the family. It sits about 3 city blocks from Marblehead Bay in Marblehead Massachusetts.
Ok, enough history - hehehe
It's on a smaller lot, 25 x25 at 125 Cookie Court across from the other two house which are 140 Cookie Court for the Red one; 130 Cookie Court for the Mint one - but you know the drill - put them anywhere you want - providing you want them. Tomorrow I will try and make a small family for the house if you want it.
OK, beyond bedtime for me - it's like 6am - so later.
