In February 2006 I took a two day Guys from Texas class at a local dollhouse store. It was my first experience taking a class and I had a great time, particularly because the roombox was pretty much finished when I brought it home. This is largely due to all the prep work the “Guys,” Jon and Larry, put into the project before the class. They built the box, painted the exterior, and packaged up all the pieces we’d need. In the class, we did all the staining, wallpapered and painted the interior, painted the stones, and did about a zillion other little touches.
Some of this furniture is just for placement, but I am going to do the room as a bedroom. I’m thinking of building a Daisy House bed kit to go in this room with the same shading technique.
Jon and Larry taught us how to finish the fireplace hood, stonework, and tiles. My window isn’t finished yet.
