The Brookwood, 2001

Picture
The Brookwood is a Greenleaf kit. My version of this house has gone through extensive kitbashing.  I found the original kit failed to provide enough rooms, so I added a lower level.

2017 Re-vamp

Picture
The original kit only had two levels.  My dad helped me add the lower level in order to include space for a kitchen and den.  
Picture
Picture
It was an unusual build, constructed around the interior fireplace.
Picture
Picture
A fresh coat of stain and some additional trim has been added to smooth out the rough edges.
Picture
Picture
The edges of wood in a Greenleaf kit are very rough.  I covered that with pieces of basswood stip.
Picture
The lower level contains a kitchen and a den, which is really a man cave.  I had the pool table, but it was missing the balls and pool sticks, so I made the balls from clay and the sticks from toothpicks.  The foosball table was found at a gas station's touristy section.
Picture
The kitchen is very rustic.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I made the TV from a picture I found online of a real one.  Shirley Temple may seem a bit out of place in this environment, but she was my childhood favorite, so I included her.  The rug was cut from a placemat.
Picture
The den contains several items including a lamp made from a bead and a cupcake liner for a shade.  It's contents have grown over the years as I ran across items I fel would fit.
Picture
The pottery on top of the cabinet was made from Sculpty.
Picture
The dreamcatcher was a necklace pendant. 
Picture
The deer head was a Christmas ornament.
Picture
I made all the furniture in this room from basswood.  The lamp was made from a bead and the rug from a placemat.
Picture
Picture
I replaced the sunroom plastic that came with the kit with plexiglass and trimmed the wooden supports with basswood strips.
Picture
The chairs in the sunroom are from the "Take A Seat" collection by Raines.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
All the wallpaper in this house is actually real sized wallpaper I found at a salvage store.
Picture
New bedroom furniture made to give more of a Southwestern look.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The chair in this room is another "Take A Seat" by Raines.
Picture
The rug was cross-stitched to fit the color and the theme.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The brass bed by Clare-Bell Brass works, was an anniversary gift.
Picture
The bearskin rug was made from a piece of fake for fabric.
Picture
Another favorite piece in this room is the yarn wider. 

2001 Original Build

Picture
2017 updating the house, giving it a fresh coat of stain and adding some trim to smooth the rough edges.
​
Picture
Picture
I added a bottom floor and covered the front of the house with stones made from Sculpty clay.  What a fantastic house!
Picture
The hot tub and planters came with the kit.
Picture
Picture
Left side sun room.
Picture
The directions start the construction of this house with the fireplace.
Picture
I made the sofa, chairs, tables, fireplace and shelf.  The sunroom chairs were Christmas ornaments.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
I added a lower level which contains kitchen and den.
Picture
Picture
Picture
I made the TV from a picture I saw online.  I had to put Shirley Temple on the screen as she is one of my favorites!
Picture
The lamp is made from a bead and the shade is made from a cupcake liner.
Picture
Most of the pottery is actually beads.  I reupholstered the Shackman couch and chair.
