Planning - always planning!

Currently my dollhouse and I have been separated - as I have been vacationing in Ireland! I've been blessed with beautiful weather here, I think it has only rained about two times, and I've met up with lots of family and had a fantastic time all in all :-) I finished the plan for my dollhouse, and you can see what it looks like. It is duplicated twice to show the front, and the back. As you can see, lots of the rooms are not named, and therefore unfinished. I have put the rooms that are finished in a different type of blue so you can tell which is which :-) Sorry that the image is so tiny, if you click on it it enlarges! :-)
As you can see, there are so many unfinished rooms! So much more space for imagination and creativity! I also forgot to include the unfinished attic space, which consists currently of two finished spaces, including Jeremy's bedroom, who, following the story I have created for my dollhouse, is obsessed with the movie star Lana Turner, hence the numerous photos of her :-)
My dollhouse, although Victorian, is set in 1940, which allows for some modern conviences and an updated kitchen, and electricity. And because all of my favorite movie stars are from the 1930s and 40s, I can include photos of them :-) Also, in other news, I have finished decorating the facade of the servant's entrance.
I'm quite proud of it! As the story goes, the servant's entrance used to be quite spick-and-span in the Victorian times, but as it's the 1940s, the place has grown dilapitated and is now only used for hanging out laundry and putting out the rubbish.
Yes, that's rust holes in the 'metal' poles supporting the washing line! The poles are actually wooden, but I painted them to (hopefully) resemble metal.
Thank you for reading, and have a splendid day!
