Hello everyone,
How are you all? Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Here in Malta is basically Summer! Wonderfully Sunny and Hot. Great for swimming and a stroll by the sea in the evening. Can't wait for the kids to get their summer break from school. I enjoy spending some quality time with them.
Today I get to share with you the final post on the three room boxes; The Dickens Book Shop, The Miniaturist and The Miniaturist's Bedroom which have been shared on the Tv Show 'Life & Style' on the Maltese Channel Net TV.
What I love about these three room boxes that I got to design them myself and make them fit on top of each other so eventually I could turn them in a one project which now is called 'The Dickens Book Shop & The Miniaturist'.
In the last episode on the 'Life & Style' I shared the bedroom which completed the whole project. I have added the room box to the rest and fixed the lights in place.
Once the roof was in place over the other rooms. I have noticed that the building on the outside needed something more to make it look as a whole unit and not just boxes on top of each other.

I didn't like it one bit so I added the trimmings at the front and on the side walls were the rooms meet.
There was something missing in the front especially between the windows on the first floor. It looked to plain and too empty. I couldn't think of anything until I looked at the library and saw the portrait of Charles Dickens. The man actually inspired me to make a wall plaque.
Today 149 years ago, to be precise Thursday, 9th June 1870 the world lost one of the most amazing authors, Charles Dickens at the very young age of 58. The man never fully recovered from his train accident which happened a few years before. I knew that day was close so I decided to make a wall plaque with the year '1870' using polymer clay.
It fitted in so perfectly and added that little detail.
Being satisfied with the new details, the project was complete and the three room boxes became one dolls house.
Here are some pictures of the whole structure and the complete rooms.

Finally The whole dolls house now stands proudly next to The Master Swordsman Pub & Inn in my Regent Street.
I still can't believe that I actually completed it and to think that I shared it's progress through a whole season on a Tv show. In June 'Life & Style' comes to an end for the Summer Holidays.
Update post 11th June 2019
Today The Dolls House Emporium also featured the complete project on their Facebook Page. Thank you DHE for the feature and for being my greatest inspiration throughout the years!
I hope you have enjoyed this project as much as I did. It is hard saying goodbye to it especially when it took me seven months to complete. Now I am looking forward to start a new project during the summer months. Make sure to keep tuned for the new updates on my blog and definitely for the new dolls house.
Take Care and See You Soon.
Hugs,

What a wonderful feeling it must be to have finished such a lovely and detailed project! Especially to have shared the process with so many viewers on television. It must also feel incredible knowing that you've inspired and encouraged so many people to imagine themselves doing a miniature project! I hope you enjoy the summer with the kids, and get to start on a new dream soon!
