Three more of the rooms from the large house, it has a 2 feet wide hallway, it was a lot of tiles…..

Two of the rooms from the house below.

One of the biggest houses I have worked on at over 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide, complete with secret passageways.

One more cross section, exactly the same model house. This one was inspired by Queen Mary’s Dolls House and the Thorne Rooms. A dolls house is only a big box full of little boxes, it’s what you do with them that counts.

Another cross section, another house customised for a client. I have re-designed and decorated over 30 of this particular house model, all compleatley different. These photos show both the attic and the basement. To give an idea of cost, a high end commission would be £2-5k for a very large house, inclusive of everything.

Cross sections. The first thing I do when I get a new commission, is work out the layout of the interior, the room designs are built around that. The biggest part of what I do is alter standard houses to make them unique to each client. Cross sections show the changes best.

There is something about the Turquoise Room at Castle Howard that I really like, it inspired me to do one of my own. I have posted the real one and my one, I dont want to duplicate, but pick out elements of what I like best.

Food glorious food….. Pantry, even if you only have a 3 or 4 inch wide space, you can still cram one in, then cram it full of stuff!

Butlers Pantry…. See what I mean about using up every bit of space? Two different designs, one based loosely on Queen Mary’s Dolls House.

Below stairs is probably more fun to do than above stairs, they don’t have to be so neat and clutter free. I try to design the rooms so you can use every single bit of space. There are so many different ‘below stairs’ rooms to choose from, I will post a few design examples over the next few days.
