The red bedroom...





With some of the Dutch summer weather colder than last Christmas, I spent several days indoors working on a new room for my Herengracht canal house.  All of the rooms are separate roomboxes which will eventually form the dolls house when they're all put together. 

The new room will be a bedroom situated at the front of the house, above the front door and the Blue Room.  The room has three sliding windows and after cutting the floor, ceiling and walls of the room,   I spent several days making these windows.  


And of course the sliding windows work.  Not a difficult element, but I just like it.  The original sash windows in canal houses would probably have a pulley system, but in miniature that would take up too much room inside the frame.
