It looks great, and the repairs seem fairly easy to do. <br /><br />I think it will be a perfect beach house, and I loved all those pictures on your Pinterest page. It would be great fun to reproduce some of those scenes in miniature. I think I am almost envious that you found the little house!! ;o) <br /><br />I look forward to hearing what you decide to do with this house, Would you have shingles or weather boarding on the outside of the house? Will some of your recent ebay purchases be suitable for this house?<br /><br />regards<br />Andy xxxAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064247140624108019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-55604238082056993612013-08-14T01:46:19.580+10:002013-08-14T01:46:19.580+10:00Me encanta la casa, tiene unas lineas muy limpias,...Me encanta la casa, tiene unas lineas muy limpias, es un gran trabajo, precioso.<br />Un abrazo.<br />YolandaYolanda Moránhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818124345674716285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-66163665367050042892013-08-13T21:05:02.397+10:002013-08-13T21:05:02.397+10:00Hi Emily,

Its not a bad idea to start on a room I'm sure of, although I was keen to do the outside first because I did it round the wrong way with Ambrosia Place, I need to add a front and may add a balcony so if I confirm up my rooms it will help me to place windows and doors.<br /><br />I think your right about the blog, too much to manage, I have a job keeping up as it is. I think I might just change the background to something that suits both houses.<br /><br />ML Fi xxFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-9216135571394629732013-08-13T05:57:37.174+10:002013-08-13T05:57:37.174+10:00Hi Fi, What a great find!

I think I would put the dining room next to the veranda, the thought of outdoor dining is so appealing. <br />Maybe you could just start work on a room of which you are certain. That way you'll have lots of time to develop your ideas for the house. <br /><br />As for starting a new blog, you don't have to do that. You could just label all of the posts for your beach house and/or have a separate page on this blog. I think it would probably be easier than maintaining two blogs. <br />Whatever you choose, I will enjoy following the build of this house!Josjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587534499301417219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-23342235551692463792013-08-12T23:20:00.019+10:002013-08-12T23:20:00.019+10:00Hi Fi,

I love your ideas for the bathroom and the kitchen sink under the window. The bathtub in the arched nook will look just wonderful. How adventurous are you feeling? the one thing that I think makes fixing up the rooms a little challenging is the placement of the stairs. Would you ever consider moving them? I think this might make it easier to plan the rooms. I cannot wait to see what your final layout is. I have absolute faith in you and know the project will be fantastic and very Fi.<br />big hug,<br />Giac<br />p.s.

I don't think the rooms are that big but I haven't tried any thing in there yet believe it or not. I like the idea of curtain in the bedroom, on my pinterest I have a four poster bed with a beautiful lace and voile drape so that could work.<br /><br />I'm so glad your having fun with it, I just said to my family that Elga from South Africa is helping me plan the rooms...hehe....isn't the internet amazing!!<br /><br />XXFi.Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149948132909326473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-54298791248619131692013-08-12T21:38:37.591+10:002013-08-12T21:38:37.591+10:00Fi, it all depends on who lives in your house, if ...Fi, it all depends on who lives in your house, if it is a couple with small children, the parents could have the private bedroom and the kids the other one.

You have me thinking maybe I should set the house up in preparation for a party.

También estoy contigo en que una fachada delantera iría bien, completaría la estructura y reservaría el interior del polvo y la suciedad. Con respecto a crear otro nuevo blog para esta casa no estoy de acuerdo. No creo que sea necesario crear un blog para cada nuevo proyecto que emprendamos. Yo tengo varias casas de muñecas y todas las he publicado en el mismo blog. Creo que así es más cómodo para todos. Algunas veces las listas de blogs que nos gustan son interminables, y tener que añadir más blogs a ellas sería tediosos. La mayoría de nosotros tenemos poco tiempo libre y tener que visitar otro blog más, sería complicado. Por eso es por lo que creo que no estaría mal que siguieras publicando todo en este mismo blog. Esta es simplemente mi modesta opinión.<br /><br />¡Un abrazo enorme!El caballero Metabólicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439507986234550166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183484942821961317.post-3725093893853030672013-08-12T16:52:05.221+10:002013-08-12T16:52:05.221+10:00It's really the most wonderful find!
