The Hotel and Hair Salon

Image
I have the reception area laid out although still more work to be done No, it's not going to be psychedelic the furniture is just for placement  The sofa's might be staying but covered?  Along the back wall will be a lift (elevator)  The dining room seats 16 and serves Asian Cuisine  The maid is listening to the days instrutions And next door.....  JoElle will be opening a hair salon  No dryers or products...no flooring or wall décor  But hay! They have a lovely floral display! Not long now though and they will be ready to open? If only the dang workers did not want time off for Christmas... AND NOW NEW YEAR!!!! *sigh* LINK to my Life BLOG

 Bob showing my new lounge set  and two new chairs  I went to a Doll House Show a few weeks ago and brought a 'few' things  Beautiful handmade table  Shelving unit, old table, picture frame and picture  Close up of picture  A couple of rugs and some place mats  close up of the mats  Art Deco picture and four Clarice Cliff plates  Small table, two working lamps, two Poinsettia's, three rolls of toilet paper (one is already in use)LOL and a vacuum cleaner (just needs a longer hose)  A TON of baby clothes  Check out those teeny tiny booties and mittens!  Then I visited Elf (the company I went to this doll-house show to see)  brought four wash basins with tapes and a kitchen!!!!  I know it has a way to go before it LOOKS like a kitchen but this is what it will look like when done Kitchens cost £75 flat packed this includes all the stuff needed!

Conundrum Update....>>>

In bed last night I had an 'epithany' moment!LOL (Yes, I dream dolls) I wondered how it would work if I put a patio in that dark back area? The bathroom could go next to it maybe? So will a 'glass' wall between the two buildings looking out onto a patio and the bathroom next to the patio?  I thought the side wall of the bathroom could be 'frosted glass' this would still allow light into the bathroom....would this work? Well, yes and no! The design looks good and I like it BUT it does make the rest of the apartment a little small? Then...... Ding Dong... anyone home? Why not swap the Apartment's in the corner with the hotel next door? If I no longer need to fit a kitchen, living room and bedroom in .... just the bedroom and a sitting area YES! Yes, it works!

Design Conundrum???

 So I've moved on to building the apartments in the adjacent corner. Trouble is how do I make it work?  Thing is the apartment streches into the corner  So how do I make it work?  Open plan is a given  But the bathroom?  At the front? No, this blocks out the kitchen!  Along the side? Maybe?  In the middle? Might be possable?  Would make the living area small?  I can take the side wall down for access to the bedroom.  This is looking like the best floor plan
