Southwest Bungalow Staircase

Here's an early shot of the staircase and the tile work. Each and every tile was hand-painted by me. Talk about a lot of work, but I'm very pleased with the results I got.

The Southwest Bungalow - Part IV

Two shots of the loft-style bedroom and the hallway with a door out to the veranda. I think that eventually, when I'm ready to start making furniture, that I'll add a light or two to the bedroom and hall. There are wall outlets in the bedroom, but I think a hanging light would be a nice touch.

Here's the other half of the kitchen featuring a door to the courtyard, the two-story foyer and the bathroom.

The Southwest Bungalow - Part II

Here are shots of the "sunken" livingroom, dining room, and half of the kitchen. I love the arched doorways!

The Southwest Bungalow - Part I

The Southwest Bungalow is the second kit I designed for the ATM Heritage Doll Homes kit line. This one is a favorite! The exterior surfaces and interior walls were all covered in spackle and then painted to give that authentic southwest feel to the home. The tiles in the courtyard were made from Creative Paperclay and painted a terra cotta color. The pergola at the front door isn't actually part of the kit, but an extra I decided to add. The pergola can be purchased in kit form at an additional cost. As stated in the Victorian Retreat post, our kits have been taken offline temporarily while we convert to more efficient manufacturing methods and I hope to have them available again soon!
