Last year for my birthday, I gifted myself this 6 piece kitchen set from Meirucorp. It looks a lot like the Bespaq Provencial kitchen set. I am still not sure about how I will arrange the pieces inside the kitchen, especially the placement of the island.
I have left out most of the internal walls to make the rooms bigger. The 1st floor will become a long drawing room/music room. 2nd floor will be kitchen and dining room. 3rd floor will be bedroom and bathroom. The walls are removable, in case I want to change the layout in the future. I have cut foam boards to create false floor, so that I can run wires under them.
For a long time I wasn't sure if I wanted stairs in this house. On one hand, stairs look pretty, but they take up a lot of space. I finally went with a curved staircase on the bottom floor and left out stairs on the other floors. The ceiling is painted plastic tile from Dollar Tree.
While working on the external trim, I noticed two were missing. I had seen the same issue reported by some others who built this kit, so I wasn't surprised. I used bass wood to create the missing parts. Since I will paint the exterior, the color difference won't matter.
I bought these beautiful peacock panels for £17.00. I am planning to add them to the standard door that came with the kit.
I found these self-adhesive plastic tiles at Dollar Tree for $1.25 each. They have the quatrefoil design which matches the gothic architectural details of the dollhouse. I am planning to use these on the ceiling. They are silver in color, so I am painting them with some semi gloss egg shell paint that was left over when we painted our real house. I am hoping to make the ceiling look like the inspiration photo.
