Help needed

[angell67]

O.K. After having a very stressfull year, my husband has bought me a 'mayfair' dolls house kit to start a new hobby. I am having a few problems though. some internet sites say that it is victorian and others say it is georgian. Although I don't know where to start with it all, I want to make sure I get the style right. Can anyone advise me on what it is? Thanks, Tammy xxx:confused:

Hi Tammy,

Welcome to the asylum, sorry, forum. I am not sure what the Mayfair looks like, but I am sure someone will be along soon to answer your era question.

Hope you enjoy being on here, we have lots of people who like to chat, and sometimes they talk about Dolls Houses. Enjoy.

Hi Angel

Hiya,
WOW your pictures are beautiful! That is exactly the look I want. I am a true lover of period dramas and have just finished reading Jane Eyre. I haven't got the basement for the house yet, but I really want to get it now. You have done an amazing job, well done!

Hi Angel

Thank you for the compliment, glad you like it, the house really does lend itself to this period

Not finished yet, but I am enjoying this period tremendously it is just so elegant but light too, Jane Eyre is my favourite book that is where the name for the house came from

I am doing mine one floor at a time, which I have found just as well as the rooms are quite deep so easier to get into the back of the room and you can do the ceilings before you put the next floor on makes life so much easier.
