English Something New
[nocrosspost][/nocrosspost]I decided to take a break from house building. Yesterday I found this wonderful Dickens’ Desk. The desk where Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations. It was made of mahogany. This desk fetched almost 900 000$ at auction in 2008. I also found different variations of it on several antiques’ sites.
Windows
The last post about windows for this room. I printed the pattern on plastic.
The frame is made of mahogany. Here how it looked before sanding and gluing.
The window
The first window for the room is ready.
Art nouveau door
The first door for my dollhouse is finished. This is the first time I’ve tried to make it in art nouveau style. Lots of photos below.
The choice
Совсем неожиданно как-то получился перерыв. А паркет уже закончен, в этот раз рисунок в виде плетенки.
Hall parquet
I have only one room to make the floor for. Right now, the drawing is ready. The hall looks quite simple. But I really like it that way.

Stool
As with the mirror the stool is made of walnut, one more commissioned piece. I enjoyed working on it – played with router bits, getting some new profiles. I also like the top of the stool.
Parquetry for bedroom
And another room is ready. Working on the parquetry took the whole weekend, and yesterday all I had to do is to make borders. All in all there were 1850 details to glue. And I have about 500 left. The size of the floor is something about 38cm x 41cm. It’s quite big, especially comparing with the living room.
Cubes
This is the post for those who’s still interested in parquetry:)
This is the pattern I’ve chosen for the bedroom. You might not see that on the photo but I used three types of wood here – khaya, pear wood and cherry. The bedroom is huge, so when I printed the pattern I could hardly believe that the pattern was so big, had to check it twice:) Right now I’ve finished only on third, so it’ll take a couple days.
