Welcome back to the house on Irongate Street. Looks like Helena has finished outfitting her second-floor boudoir. Just like the first floor, she stuffed the room with all kinds of goodies.
Notice the washstand with its Steampunk lamp, hanging towel & soap (which I’ll show you how to make).
The room is packed with cool steampunk clothing hanging on a fretwork screen.
Some of the clothing is hanging on a wall rack; it looks like she’s quite the fashionista.
What a lovely vanity (made from a kit and matchbox drawers).
Steampunk lamps are flanking the mirrors, and perfume bottles, powder boxes, and compact cases are on the top.
In the center of the room is a beautiful marble bathtub. In this post, I’ve included a separate Faux Marble Paint Technique video tutorial to help you create this look on miniatures or artwork.
The cabinet in the back corner is loaded with perfume bottles, a lovely box, a fan, and a hand mirror.
In the front of the fretwork screen are suitcases, a gramophone, and a pair of boots.
Check out the stained glass hanging screens that you can slide to open or close; they run on a track made from a straw. The screen frame is the same one I used for the fretwork screen.
In a couple of weeks, I'll be posting the last segment of the house on Irongate street, which will involve the roof.

Laura: I am really enjoying your beautiful house and all that you have put into it. I purchased two house kits so that I might have adjoining abodes for my little lady, Ms. Baggs. I do have a beginners question for you, what brand of glue to you use to put the house together. I haven't ever done a kit like this before. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I'm in love with this idea.
ReplyDeleteHello Laura

Oh I want this so bad I would def make a steampunk theme with this thank you
ReplyDeleteWOW again. Thanks for sharing your talent and imagination with us!
ReplyDeleteIt's been forever since I have posted a comment, but definitely want you to know I have viewed your masterpieces often. Over the years of seeing your work I am never disappointed and always amazed at your talent. This series of rooms are literally breathtaking and I so look forward to seeing the whole house completed. It would be hard for me to pick out just one of your creations and say it was my favorite, but this house is definitely the first on my list. Laura you are amazing and there are truly no words to describe your talent. Warmest regards from a long time admirer of your work. Diane
