So in March, the Malibu Beach House kit arrived. I was impatient to unpack, but I have to admit a was a littled baffled when I opened the boxes and discovered all the bits and pieces that I was going to have to paint/varnish and assemble.
Following the experts' advice, I dry-built the house first to make sure all the pieces were there and that everything fits. They were, and it did. Woaw, bigger than I thought!
I was in two minds at the time of ordering and uncertain as to whether it could be turned into an Art Deco house. But now that I have started work on it, I am happy with it. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I like it. It's just that it will take a lot more time to finnish than I had first anticipated.
Never mind, that was the idea after all, the fun and satisfaction of something made by me.
Only, it's now August, and progress has been slowed down because I have been distracted into making things for the house. The fact is, I have so many ideas and not a lot of free time to turn them into actual projects. My latest home-made item is the grand Art Deco chandelier I've had in mind for some time.

So here is the house, dry-built (without the windows)
