Here is just a peek into the "neighborhood" room. It will feature three scales. They will be 1:12 and 1:24 in this room. The main room will be 1:6. The walls may be decorated with smaller scales.
Here is one
half the 1:12 neighborhood room. The houses may not remain in these positions. I know at least the personalities of the families moving in. That gives me an idea how to decorate the houses, which of course, may all change as I go along. So far, I have three 8 foot tables up. This is the bedroom of a one bedroom duplex apartment behind my house that I used for storage which means I had to clear it out first...puff puff...
When I purchased the last two houses, several people asked to see the insides. I have since torn off most of the wallpaper, window treatments and flooring in the yellow house. I like the inside of the black and white house. After repairing the windows, I won't do too much else to the walls. Unless a family of kangaroos live there, I will need to put another set of stairs going to the top floor where I will add two or three more rooms.

Sorry, it is so dark. Lighting isn't set up in there yet. This the summer resort area in another section of town. More about that later.

| What is a resort area without horseback riding? The box set was only $2! |

There is so much to do. I didn't realize I was setting up my free time for the next five years when I came up with this idea! I guess I will be The
Great-grandmommy by the time I complete it. LOL
I plan to put in something green for the lawns. Felt seems too artificial. Real indoor/outdoor carpet seems out of scale. I even thought of velvet. Sigh...we shall see. I know some of my favorite thrift shops are right now drawing just the right materials to them for me to find.
Check out the fire station. I actually bought this for one of my grands who will never know that. LOL It was less than $2! I didn't realize it was a fire station! It is sturdy corrugated cardboard.

I have so many ideas for other buildings. Promise to keep you posted!
