Hegeler Carus Quarter Scale Mansion Dollhouse |
|||
 This is the completed front of the mansion. |
 Notice the address sign, 2023 Chandler Place. Nancy didn't know she had a street named for her. |
 Close up of the front stairs. Note the flowers are made from bunka, a tip I got from Jean Day! |
 Notice the mailbox had the numbers on it. That was fun trying to get them that small. |
 This is the close up of the left front yard. |
 You can see the table and chairs better in this angle. |
 This is the right front yard. Notice the peacock strutting around. |
 This shows the right porch where there is a table and chairs for eating near the kitchen door. |
 The overall of the back of the house with no lights on. |

 From the first floor starting on the left side of the house, the kitchen. |
 Another view of the kitchen and yes, all the cabinets have little plates and glasses in them. |
 This is the first floor hall. Nancy wanted a bathroom in it but I could only fit in a powder room. The powder room has a vanity sink and toilet with all the accessories needed, soap, towels, & toilet paper. You just can't see them unless you put a dental mirror in there to look behind the door. All of the halls were difficult to photograph because of the white stairs. |
 We put the dining room on the first floor to be close to the kitchen. Since it was around Easter when I did this room we put Easter cakes and baskets on the buffet. |
 Close up of the table. |

 A peek in the window nook. It was very difficult to photograph the window nook areas on all the floors so forgive me for the not as good photos. |
 Moving on to the second floor is the Peacock Bedroom. It's because of this room that there is a peacock in the front yard. |
 Here's the lamps lighted but before the lighted chandler was installed |
 Second floor entry hall. The entry doors are on the second floor instead of the first. I was kind of proud of the chandler in the hall. Hope you can see it. |
 The living room is also on the second floor. |
 We used some tiny 144 scale figures for the shelf in the living room. |
 Again a peek into the window nook which was very difficult to photograph. |
 Moving to the third floor where the big master bathroom is. |
 I tried to copy the floral pattern on the tub and bathroom fixtures onto the vanity bring the whole room together. |
 I was finally able to use one of the curtains that Nancy provided in the third floor hallway. The brown thing on the left wall is a grandfather clock. |
 This is the third floor bedroom. I put two beds in because Nancy has a thing for beds and has so many. |
 A peek into the window nook where I put the armoire. Poor girls needed somewhere to put their clothes! |
 Nancy wanted a TV in her mansion but with the style of furniture in the rest of the house, the TV seemed like it was "from another time." So we made a family lounge with slightly more modern furniture in the fourth floor. |
 The TV is in the dormer section of the room. |
 Another angle of the room. |
 Hard to see all the stuff in this room so yet another angle. |
 And finally the nursery. There was so much that could go into the nursery that we just kept adding and adding to it. |
 The nursery before we added all the pull toys. We did have the tiny tea set in there at that point. |
 Peeking into the window nook where the changing table is. Also notice the teddy bear chandelier. |
 Before I put the ceiling on, I sneaked a photo of the other wall of the changing area. |
| This ends the tour of the Hegeler Carus Quarter Scale Mansion. I hope you enjoyed the tour and all the special details that we tried to include in the house. I will only say that the photos do not do it justice. I wish you could all see it in person. In fact, I told Nancy I wished I could keep it but alas she said no. She's waited for a long time for this house to be completed. I tried to make it something special. Hope I succeeded. | |||
