Jane's attic, update XXV: Let there be light!

A very important milestone was reached in the construction of Jane's attic: the installation of a wall lamp in the room where the staircase is located.


I know that to the average doll's house builder, this is not such a big deal at all, but for a relative novice (rookie) like me it was something really special! To see the (still empty) room being illuminated by the faint glow of the lamp... wow, it was a great experience, and I felt as happy as a pig in mud!(witness the extensive coverage of the damn lamp in this blog!).





 

The electrical wire comes out of the back wall and runs through a metal pipe which is attached to the wall with glue, metal 'saddles', and teeny weeny nails. I could have easily saved myself the trouble and hidden the wiring inside the wall itself, but I thought that a pipe on the outside would add more detail. Again, walking the extra mile surely does make a difference! Below are some images of that for you to review. I hope you like it!





Thanks for visiting and see you next time!

  1. It totally looks magical José. I love the shadows on the wall, how the glass reflects because of the wall lights design. Well done 'rookie' on the metal pipe at the back. You have surpass the experts with that extra detail. It's perfect
