I used the kits deck floor as a template for my new one. The original fiberboard will be used later for the roof extension *when I get that far.* |
Having added the new floor insert, I sealed it with wood glue and let it dry, then it was time for a mock up. |
I did a spacial test of where the fireplace and over-mantle would sit and how wide the living/dining room would be and cut a piece of heavy mat-board to fit the dimensions. |
and I'm Wrong again! |
It may not be pretty but it certainly IS unique! |
Norma, ( "Make Mine Mini") made the stack of books atop of my drop leaf table, which she forwarded via Linda Park, Thanks Norma! :D And speaking of Linda Park, (Linda's Mini World) feast your eyes on these nautical niceties.... |
Linda made this rain slicker and the sou'wester rain hat which I simply adore! The hat has all of the stitching that you would find on its full-sized counterpart, it's PERFECT! |
AND if that wasn't enough, I recently received yet another parcel from Linda containing her hand-made lobster trap and a fishing net which she has hand-knotted herself. What a Talented lady she is! |
which I hope explains why I'm currently feeling Plan B'd out! time for a nap Plan ZZZZ... where are you? - - - |

I love the wooden floor, it's beautiful! and the rest is being great. Congratulations for your great work, I want to see more!
ReplyDeleteA big hugs :0)
Good Afternoon Monica! Thank you for liking the wooden floor!!! :D I'm not really very good with floors but this was the Easiest Wood Floor I've ever done.
DeleteI was disappointed with the way I stained it, but the laying of the wood was a Super Fast.... and I have no problem with that! :D
elizabeth
I love it when you post! First there are fantastic pieces of eye candy demonstrating your talent and tastes. Then, just when I think I am the most unproductive, indecisive miniaturist around you show what it takes to get to the beautiful structures you end up with which always leave my mouth open.
ReplyDeleteThis in turn of course stimulates my brain and turns into inspiration!
I really like this project and I'm settling in for the ride till the end!
Thank You Grandmommy you say the Nicest Things! :D But let me be perfectly frank when I tell you that I feel like a doofus nearly 90% of the time, the other "confident" 10% is just a front. Most of the time I don't know what I'm doing and I'm just making it up as I go. And you can believe that I"m always SURPRISED when something actually goes RIGHT the first time around, because it usually doesn't.
DeleteIt makes me happy though, that you are enjoying this project Grandmommy. Your encouragement is fuel to the fire!:D
elizabeth
Elizabeth, looking great! Glad I'm not the only one who relies a lot on plan B's!
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Wanda! Gotta Love those Plan B's!!!! :D I have two sleeves and I've learned to keep a ready supply up both of them! :D
Deleteelizabeth
Frustrating, I am sure, but the floor turned out wonderfully! You have a great eye for details and all the minis you add. Great work so far! :D
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Brae! :D Frustrating is Right but I am resilient if nothing else. Thank You for your very encouraging words.
DeleteAnd thank Goodness for RUGS! :D
elizabeth
Looking good, Elizabeth! I'm like you, changing, thinking for a while, changing again, living with it, changing again. It's just part of the process for me. I'm looking forward to seeing more! xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! A True Kindred Spirit! :D Over the years, I have learned that this is the only way for me to get the job done, and it is just as you have stated. There is little point in trying to stick to a plan when the only plan that works, is making it up as I go. :))
Deleteelizabeth
p.s. I LOVE your mini Blythe collection and I shall inform my "Dolly", that many of her well-dressed "American cousins", like living in Oregon! :D
I agree, the floor looks used and I like it too! Love the seagull, portholes and rain wear.
ReplyDeleteGreat eye catchers!
Hugs,
Gee
Greetings Gee! :D The floor looks "used" AND abused! But at least it is NOT 50 shades of grey! hahah
DeleteI am so glad that you like my Catch of the Day, Thank You! Linda's rain wear, her net and lobster trap, couldn't have pleased me More! :D

Malgré la traduction, le texte est savoureux, une fois encore.
ReplyDeleteFaire, refaire, mais ce qui ressort de tout ceci est BEAU !
Sam, bravo, vos idées sont bonnes !
Que de jolis objets dans cette petite maison !
J'attends la suite, qui j'en suis certaine me plaira beaucoup !
Actuellement, je refais l'escalier du mas ...la troisième fois :(
Bon dimanche Elizabeth, et bon courage pour la suite du projet ! Bisous. Joce
Good Afternoon Joce! I must apologize for truckload of the American SLANG that I've inserted into the text. I knew it was going to be a difficult task for Google to translate and I can only imagine what some of the text became in the process. :0 I promise that next time around I shall not to get so carried away. :))
DeleteMeanwhile, Thank you for enjoying the process and I shall pass on your praises to Sam. She is my right hand, and being an artist herself, she and I are usually on exactly the same page. :D
elizabeth
p.s. I am Very Happy to hear that you are still working on the new stairs for your Provençal Farmhouse, Joce! As you know, I hate making stairs but I think that they are a Must to achieve the realism when there is more than one floor, and I look forward seeing yours when you have them finished. :))
elizabeth
Tener un plan B o incluso C creo que nos pasa a muchos miniaturistas,no te preocupes!!!
ReplyDeleteUn gran comienzo en el montaje,el suelo ha quedado maravilloso,me encanta su tono envejecido y estoy segura que lograrás el estilo que tienes en tu mente!!
Grandes y maravillosos regalos!!!
Besos.
Good Afternoon Pilar! Thank You for your comment about having a Plan B as well as a Plan C!!! :D In this hobby one must always have a Back Up because things are bound to go sideways somewhere down the road. I am so pleased that you like the way the floor has turned out because I was calling it a Failure until the whitewash was applied. Which proves what a difference a fresh coat of paint can make. :))
Deleteelizabeth
Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI think some of the best ideas come from plan B's and happy accidents. The floor looks great and I much prefer the white wash over stain colour. It looks like it has more age to it. I also like the layout and especially the idea of using the book shelves as dividers between the rooms. It's coming along really well =0)
Hi Pepper! You would have thought that I would have learned by now that with such a large area that it would be WISE to do a Test Board FIRST rather than sacrificing the floor to both impulse and chance. The white wash saved the day, and I TOO prefer it over the brown stain, but it was all of the drama that proceeded it that I could have lived without. :/
DeleteI am hoping to finish the bookcase dividers this week and I Thank You for liking the new layout as well as for your encouraging words! :D
elizabeth
And I love that old wardrobe next to the dining room :-). Elisabeth, isn't it exciting that nothing ever works to plan? I think that this is as creative as making a plan - and you did super well!
ReplyDeleteThank You Marion and what a Great TWIST as to how to look at all of those many min! problems!!!! I would have never considered them as "Exciting" but you have certainly given me Food for Thought!.... Tastes GOOD!!! :D
Deleteelizabeth
Toutes ces amusantes anecdotes et ces jolis objets à découvrir font que c'est un grand plaisir de suivre votre nouveau projet Elizabeth. Bonne continuation pour la suite.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Jean-Claude! I am Delighted that you have enjoyed the story of my progress thus far, and I hope that wasn't too unintelligible in Google Translate. Thanks for wading through to the end and also for your words encouragement. :D
Deleteelizabeth
Hello, Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteIt's always surprising and pleasant to discover your new projects!
(I see I'm not the only one not to read the manuals ... ^^ that's reassuring! ^^)
All your genius lies in the fact that a complication you make it an asset and finally, you succeed in your purposes! (Certainly after much weariness and discouragement ... but it is always worth to persevere, isn't it?).
Good luck for the future that will surely make of "Land's End" a very nice cozy place! (The name makes me think to "Howards End" — to do a short parallel, I hope there are not as many conflicts in your mind between your ideas and they will eventually agree ^^))). Hugs ♥
Hello Lea! Howard's End is one of my Favorite movies! :D
DeleteAnd NOT reading the manual First is a way of life around here and it is comforting to know that in this, I am not alone! :))
I'm sure that I don't feel like a "genius" when I paint myself into a corner with some of the choices that I've made, but I would have to agree that most of the solutions have made the projects far more successful than they would have been otherwise.
And Yes Lea; Persevering is ALWAYS worth it! :D
elizabeth
Oh, Elizabeth, I DO feel your pain! You have so Many wonderful awesome little treasures for this project.... and the "shell" won't cooperate!!! I think I never "finish" my projects because I can't decide Exactly how I want them to look! Besides, I want to be able to "live" in them and move things around or decorate for the Seasons..... Not a static thing! Your vision of Lands End will emerge in it's own time in it's own way... or the Elizabeth Way... which is to put it all in and Tear it all out... except for one tiny part that you do like... over and over again! I think part of your dilemma is trying to combine the "Country" look (which is truly an inland Pastoral look)... with the Seaside look which has to be a totally different "flavor"! Add to that the tricky layout issues of such a deep floor plan.... Yes, I CAN feel your pain!!! And I will humbly add that I do look forward to seeing What you do!!! (Sorry! Not really wishing you more pain!) :)
ReplyDeleteBetsy Dear, I am so glad that you have mentioned that you enjoy "living" in your little houses because that is what I like to do too! But although I thought that I had A vision for this cottage, it is already wanting to do it's own thing, and go its own way. But you are right in that I am not adverse to "putting it all in and then taking it all out again except that one tiny part that I do like"... oh Betsy, we could be TWINS! :D
DeleteAnd since you mentioned it; it has also been in my mind to make Land's End seasonal. I wasn't able to with #43 but I think that this cottage has far more potential. Meanwhile, email me Betsy because we need to talk further about your Hungry Bearys! :))
elizabeth
Elizabeth, you are so clever! You managed to salvage your floor and turn it into something worthy. It will all turn out beautifully no matter how many plans you go through. You have the imagination and the ability to make this cottage as wonderful as No. 43. And thanks for the praise for my humble contributions. You are completely deserving of gifts.
ReplyDeleteDearest Linda! WOW I LOVE EVERYTHING!!! Truly I am as THRILLED to have them become a part of Land's End as I was with the stockings that you made for the clothesline of #43! :D
DeleteWhew! I am so glad that you like the way I salvaged the floor. It was touch and go there for a while but I DO like it better than my original idea; yet I am truly FLOORED by your Delightful Nautical contributions and I am anticipating the day when I will be able to settle each of your wonderful gifts into the cottage!
They make me feel HAPPY- Thank You again Linda! :D
elizabeth
I hope Plan Zzzzzz made you go on with another Plan B - I just love Plan Bs... must be the letter... *grin* I can truly feel with you when some things didn't turn out as you had planned them - I bet anyone of us can tell a story like this... or two, three, four... But you made something wonderful with Plan B - and especially your floor looks great now with the grey shade on, so old and worn. I'm really looking forward to more Plan Bs!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Birgit
Greetings Birgit! :)) I had a nice long nap and now I'm Ready to Roll again. So BRING ON THE PLAN B's!!!!! :D
DeleteThe floor was probably one of the fastest and easiest wood floors that I have ever laid but the complications were a result of my own impatience and impulsiveness. The next challenge will be to duplicate the same procedure for the hall leading to the bed and bathroom..... and That should prove interesting- deliberately attempting to make Exactly the Same mistakes!
oh boy.....
elizabeth
Fantàstico todo lo que has hecho hasta ahora, el suelo me encanta.
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Eloisa! I am so Pleased that you like the results of the floor! It was a Very Happy Accident and I am relieved that it had a
DeleteVery Happy Ending! :D
elizabeth
I love the floor, Elizabeth! I think it's really special! It's always so fascinating to me to read about all your experiments and your trials. But in the end, I know that everything will come together!
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Lucille! :D Thank You for liking the floor and you know, I am so Surprised that so many people do!? I get distressed and disturbed when my projects go belly-up especially when I know that I have only myself to blame; but when they somehow right themselves and become something Better than I had expected... well it makes me feel BLESSED and I can only say "Thank You GOD!" :D
ReplyDeleteelizabeth
It's fascinating to see how you work through a build, our methods are so different. I plan around furniture placement, but I don't pull out accessories and fiddly bits until the end, it would overload my brain.
ReplyDeleteI like the floor!
Good morning Keli! :)) Thank You and you bring up a good point. Everybody that I know that does miniatures, has a method that works best for them. Mine has always been to fill the space immediately with not only the furniture but the accessories as well because it allows me to see the personality that will eventually occupy the rooms. By the time the project is completed, it looks as though they have already been in residency for ages because in fact, they have! This however means that everything single item has been moved in and and out countless times. And THAT as you say, often "overloads my brain" too!
DeleteBut that's how I Roll! :D
elizabeth
Elizabeth, you are so entertaining! This post was so much fun to read.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like the end result of the floor...I know it may have been hard to bear the process (I'm currently struggling with a project too....I think I am on Plan E about now!) but what you ended up with was exactly what you needed! It really reminds me of a weathered seaside bungalow floor. It is perfect!
Isn't it funny what fresh eyes and minds can do? Sam came up with a great idea, adding the door. It also adds to the bungalow effect, with the cozy corners it introduced. Overall, I see success in the brewing!
I love seeing your creative process, even the trials and tribulations! I identify with them...believe me. You should see the head scratching and woeful faces I manage to add to every project.
Keep up the good work! As usual, I am excited to see where you take the project!
Doug
Thank You So Much for such positive feedback Doug! :D The floor is Interesting, if nothing else. This was my first try and I hope that the floor for the bedroom will be better. The connecting hall will mean attempting to duplicate my original mistakes, On Purpose! :/
DeleteI agree, that it is often when we are wallowing in the quicksands of our minds that getting someone with "Fresh Eyes" helps us to see our way out of a problem and towards a solution. Sam opened my eyes. God bless her! :D
I am glad that you enjoy seeing The Process Doug. When I read your blog I can easily relate to what you are describing as well!
I don't know about you but I find it comforting that I am not alone in feeling confused and misdirected in this "FUN" hobby, but right now, the vision of your "Woeful Faces" making me chuckle! :))
Hey! "Plan E" would have been a Terrific name for this blog! Rats! I wish that I had thought of it!
elizabeth :D
Hello Lady Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI actually love the finish on the floor. It gives off such a feeling of painted wood aged by the sea air. I see many home renovations on HGTV in which people work hard to get exactly that look. I think it works beautifully in the cottage.
I hate to throw another idea to the multitude of things that are going through your mind, but in regards to the fridge did you ever consider a small under the counter model. I think amny people use them as bar fridges, but in Europe we have seen many homes that only have a small fridge that sits comfortable under the counter. You would lose a little storage space, but I think it could work in your kitchen.
Go sam, the idea of changing the doors was a terrific one. Sometimes someone else's input can really point you in the right direction. I am loving the feel of the cottage and your nautical accessories are just perfect. It feels appropriate but not too theme-ish. Well done my friend!
Big hug,
Giac
Good Morning Sir Giac!:D The under counter fridge may be just the ticket! I am going to finalize the floor plan for the kitchen this week and much of it will depend on whether or not I extend the window wall into the hall. Space is at a premium in this cottage, but I love the openness of the view too.
DeleteSince I have you to THANK for the flooring idea, it makes me so happy that you are enjoying the end results! :D This is one of those Gold Mine DIY projects that requires little skill to do, but will deliver a BIG return! I highly recommend it to Everyone but encourage purchasing the Big Roll rather than a small one.
You are so astute Giac! As I'm currently trying to achieve a balancing act of Nautical and Americana, BOTH can very easily become Theme-ish so I know ExACTLY what you mean- so Thanks my friend! : ))
a Big Hug Back
elizabeth
Hello, Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading every word of your long, long post. I love those long posts! The floor turned out beautifully. You have a special knack of working through a problem in different ways until you hit on the perfect solution, even though it turns out to be Plan B. You're moving in an exciting direction with Land's End, and I'm looking forward to the next steps. I can't wait to see how those porthole windows turn out; they're wonderful!
Thank You Marjorie! :)) I am quite excited to install those porthole windows. It will allow in even more light as well as add to the overall Nautical feel. :D
DeleteInstalling the wood floor was so fast and so easy but finishing the floor was an initial disappointment. The white wash and the rug have made it look a whole lot better, and is what Saved the Day for me, and I am Delighted that you like it too! :D
Always the purpose in showing all of my Quirky Plan B's is that those others who wrestle with their own projects will be encouraged to stay hopeful. Because--- if I can eventually do it; then I am Quite Certain that
they can too.
( However it also helps when you have a smart daughter like, Sam! ) :))
elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYou are making great progress. Recreating the floor for the hallway will be a challenge as I know that even if you wrote down all the steps you took to create the original (which you didn't ) it would be so hard to do.
Go straight to making rugs!
I'm with Giac, go with an undercounter fridge.
Your character shows through so well in your posts. I always love to read them.
Talk soon.
Janine
Hi Janine! :D Thank You My Friend! Your suggestion along with Giac's is a Good One!
ReplyDeleteAn under-counter fridge is a practical idea that may be just the ticket to fitting all necessary appliances into this space without losing the openness of the floor plan.
Consider it Done! :D
elizabeth
Dear Scarlett - oh no, sorry - Elizabeth:)))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post. It gave me a lot of smiles. Don't we all know about the struggle with wood, glue and all the other materials, that don't do what we want them to do:))) But this result is worth the struggle. It's a beautiful house and I can the hear the ocean waves and smell the salty air. Wonderful as always.
Keep us up to date - there'll be a plan B (or C or D)

Good Morning Andrea! Scarlet and I are new friends! :))
DeleteI was certain that most who read this post would be able to relate to some degree only it does FEEL as if I am the Only One who makes these Big Gaffs and then has to figure my way out of them, even though I know that this cannot be true. But I am Glad to know that you are able to "smell the salty air and hear the ocean waves." That of course is my ultimate goal Andrea. To have this cottage take Everyone on a vacation by the sea! :D
elizabeth
I love all the twists and turns your build is producing its a good read and ride for me!! Haha..oh Sorry :p
ReplyDeleteIts looking great so far, just like a large house (1:1 ratio that would be) you have to change around this or that till it feels right. Whatever plan you end on, it will be fabulous!
Thank You Lady Jane!:D This really IS proving to be a wild ride with many Twists and Turns, and it has only just begun! So far some of it has been fun but there have been moments when I have wanted to shout "Stop the ride, cause I want to get off!" :O
DeleteBut then the crisis will pass.... so I buy another ticket :D

Your wooden floor is beautiful, Elizabeth! And I love to read your posts! Very funny!

You're very busy with this project. Everything is well made and I like the details.
ReplyDeleteThank You Faby! :D Yes indeed I am Very Busy with this project and I have a LOT of catching up to do over the summer. Most who are involved with this kit, have been going strong on it since the beginning of the year.

Good Morning to you Magda! :D Yes, I HAVE been going through a "Storm of Emotions" with this project! This is my ART and this is what I do and Intuition plays a great part of it as you have so rightly guessed.

Thank You Caroline! :D I am so pleased that you have enjoyed this post!:)) I have often thought that my way of thinking was faulty and that my approach is unconventional and therefore must be Wrong.
ReplyDeleteBut I have learned over time to accept my methods because I have found that they work for Me. AND, as frustrating as they are; for better or for worse..... I am stuck with them! :))
elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth, love what you've done so far! Especially the floors! I know you aren't happy with the colour exactly...funny because its just the kind of colour I've been struggling to re-create myself!! I too have been slicing little veneer sheets and trying to avoid disaster, so I commend your persistence! The grey wall with the white wainscotting looks fab with the floor too, let's your pieces really shine :) Hopefully things go a bit easier these next couple of days!
ReplyDeleteOh and I forgot to mention, I am so so impressed with how you have altered the kit without power tools! High-five!
DeleteThank You Kristine! and A High 5 Back!!!! :D
DeleteIt always confounds me at how that which I think is the most irritating and unsuccessful project, can become the most interesting and popular amongst my readers!? It makes me scratch my head. I honestly felt "apologetic" when I posted the photos thinking that the floor was a Loser and yet so many people like it. WOW! ... it is so very encouraging and it makes me feel more hopeful for the outcome of this HBS project.
Thank you for your kind words Kristine; I've certainly appreciated Every Single One and I look forward to seeing the results of Your veneer floor soon! I am sure that it is As Superb as the rest of the work that you Consistently produce. :D

Your Lands End cottage is going to be another magnificent achievement I am sure Elizabeth, old floors often have timber running in different directions, where various owners have added rooms here and there. Will so enjoy seeing your progress, (need to spend less time on FB).
ReplyDeleteGood Morning and Thank You Margaret! :)) Yes, I quite agree that the floorboards going in different directions gives the appearance of an older style home. I found an article that I have had filed away where the new owner left the exterior weathered and renovated the interior retaining some of the character but adding her own contributions to the configuration of the layout. What I saw impressed me greatly and I hope that I can achieve some of the same style with Land's End. :D

Hi There Marisa! :D It makes me happy that you like the way this beach house is developing. I have debated whether or not to light the fireplace or just leave it filled with Fatima's hydrangeas.

Well....do I feel silly! Never saw this post before today when you made reference on your most recent post. Hubby is off racing while I finally have a few hours to myself on the boat. The Internet is horrible but I find that I can tether to my Iphone and I went looking for minis. I miss not looking on every day. And so here I could find some delicious eye candy. Never do you let me down my dear friend. I love love all that you are coming up with on this challenge. Like the Americana and nautical to boot.
