Marie Antoinette Secret Folie Barn Dollhouse: Update

I've been very busy lately! And my blog background vanished! I love this new one but it took me forever to take off the weird stuff that was going on! Marie's barn is moving along!

I did the ceiling like the sky with clouds. And I added a light in the chandelier. The chandelier is pretty big. So I started a smaller one. Then I tried out both and guess what... I like the big one! It looks more opulent. I did the door trim and painted it gold.


I also started on the outside. First, I painted the barn black so that when I put the boards, I could leave gaps. I carved on some stones.


Here's the other side. I'll have to wait till the roof is on to complete the chimney. It's such a puzzle figuring out what should be done first! I'm always afraid of that " oops! I forgot..." moment.
In case you think you recognize this little structure- it's Greenleaf's Annie's Lobster Shack. I just cut out a window in the roof to make a dormer and covered up the side window. I also made the other window bigger and didn't put windows in the door.

I painted a carved out design in gold for the door.
 It's just resting against the wall right now.

I think I like this color! That's my camera setting. I'll might try painting the bulb again. This time in yellow. I'll give this some thought!
