Michaels Miniature Gilded Mansion: July 2018

The mansion is now fully assembled and has been moved to it’s permanent location in my home. It was mostly built and assembled in my studio above the garage and is now in the back bedroom. I was born on Valentine’s Day and the House has so many angels and Cupid’s I’ve decided to name my house Valentine Hall. The house is Dated from the late 1800’s to the turn of the century so electricity in homes was new and mostly reserved for the wealthy. Also there is no kitchen in the house back then it would have been a separate building to keep smells and the risk of fire out of the main house. I’m mostly done except for the trim between all the door openings and windows and still may add curtains to most rooms and I’m still saving up for more chandeliers. I’m also adding lit wall sconces to a few rooms like the ballroom, theater room and the reception hall, but I’m happy with the results and I started building it on July 12th last year so I finished it in less than a year for construction, but I’ve been planning it and purchasing things for a few years . In the pictures the boxes contain all the individual boxes all the miniatures came in and I’m using them to keep my cats off the roof 😾 untill everything is secure in the house so the earthquake they cause won’t harm anything I’m using quakehold putty for that but it takes time to secure everything. I finally finished the nursery as well I got all the Victorian samplers framed and hung on the walls .
