Today, I assembled the kitchen, and luckily, its placement hides most of the wiring mess in the corner. The kitchen fits under the window and in front of the hinged panel, but be careful not to glue it to the wall — only to the floor — to avoid sticking the hinged panel. I placed several finished items on the kitchen counter. This kitchen is charming, featuring a photo of a chicken in the oven window, and all the cabinet handles are made of white wire. The little book stand is perfect for keeping the cookbook open on the counter.
I still have the skylight clamped because it was warped, and straightening it takes longer due to the thicker wood. I had to apply more glue to it.
I was not happy with how my dollhouse base turned out. The paper covering needs to be folded over the edges, but it’s glossy and turns white at the folds. It’s not very durable, as any scratch or crease easily removes the ink. By the time I finished covering the base, it looked messy, and I was very disappointed. To fix this, I used acrylic paints to match the brick color of the paper. This allowed me to touch up every crease, fold, and uncovered edge on the base, and it turned out beautifully. Now I am finally satisfied with it.
