OK, So I got the pics taken and in the mail today. The pics looked pretty good on the computer, but I was really dissapointed about how they turned out when they were developed. The only wall I have in my real house that is blank is in my dining room and it's a muted pea green. So that's the wall I used...it looks awful as the background! Since the deadline for the Creatin' Contest is midnight Monday and there isn't any mail on Sunday, I had no choice but to send them in.
I made the glass wall removable. It's made of 1/4" plexiglass with model pinstriping to separate the panes. It slides along aluminum C channels at the top and bottom. The front door is made the same way.
The house is front opening. The front panels are held on with rare earth magnets. The siding is 1/8" birch plywood cut into 2" strips with teak veneer in between the strips.
The sun room and windows are all made with the same plexiglass as the slider wall. I also used the same aluminum chanels to hold the top and bottom of the sun room walls and the same pinstriping for window panes.
The furniture on the upper deck is vintage german from Ebay. The big cactus is from Hancock Fabrics, the flowers are an Ebay find and the little table is from Miniatures.com. The orange rug is part of a placemat from CB2, it hides the wiring for the fans in the sun room below. I also made the glass french doors from plexiglass and aluminum rods.
