Thank you !
The Kendrew was about the last from this firm I could snap up before the firm went out of business ( as I have been given to understand ). the houses are really beautiful , well - built ( though HEAVY !) . I am still working on it.
It is standing on a verrrrry sturdy coffee table I bought for it to stand on- and let the hulks who broght the table in, put the house onto it - I can't even get any movement into it ....
You can see more pics of it here : https://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a246/ellyandyael/kendrew%20house/

Cheers,
Elly ( my sig line has gone out of business again... )

Elly they are wonderful. I have a Victorian villa by Anglesey but it is not finished and definitely does not look as good as yours. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Cheers Linda

Elly, thankyou for sharing your houses they are very good. Kendrew house is lovely and I love the cat mugs in The cat lady house.

Wonderful collection, Elly! I love the pub and my daughter would like to move into the cat house!

Hi Elly

I am new to forums and I have been looking at your photos of your houses and am so impressed, if I can create a house anywhere as nice as your Kendrew house I will be extremely pleased with myself. Can you tell me about the marble looking staircase and doorframes. Did you make these yoursel for buy them from a retailer.
Thanks
Janine

Hi Elly,

Thanks for letting us see your fantastic dollls houses, so much detail, you have to keep coming back for more, I love the wee pub and so much detail inside the house's, they are inspiring me to get a move on with mine (now five years and still not ready to move into!!! )

Janine , sorry only responding just now, but I was busy with lots of things ( went to the Soest fair on Sunday and had to recuperate yesterday )

The marble in the hall in the Kendrew house are simply plastic, the self- adhesive kind you can find in DIY and household stores.
I did not do that part myself; I bought this house second- hand. the previous owner had cut tiles from marble-clad cardboard.
The stairs were painted in a marbleizing effect ( which is very easy, really. Just use a plastic - type undercoat in white and then start marbleizing the usual way. It looks spectacular ).
The doorposts were also marbleized by painting.

Hope this helps !
Cheers !
