The Kiwi-The lights are on!
Our Lilliput® Kiwi Cottage Dollhouse Kit is finally done! After adding some finishing touches, Jen and I can proudly say that we have successfully wired a dollhouse! Seeing your hard work come to fruition is very satisfying. But isn’t that the case with every dollhouse you build or miniature you create?
Come on in. We've left the light on for you!
We started the Kiwi with the idea that we would focus on wiring and lighting and not so much on the finishing details. Having said that, we still put stucco on the exterior and wallpapered a couple of rooms. We wanted to experience several different wiring situations while working with a couple of different fixtures. To wire a dollhouse is to take a real leap of faith. We did lots and lots of prep work, running tapewire, spackling and using liner paper to hide the wiring. Then we tested our work. We actually held our breath when we held the tester to the tapewire to confirm good connections. And then….there was light. We got that “kid on Christmas morning feeling”. We were on a roll. (more…)
