The Victorian ReBuild – Part 1

I’ve constructed the porch from cardboard scraps adding supports underneath and covering the edges on two sides.

The sides will be covered with lattice strips, railings, and a flat roof.

My first thoughts are to add an extra porch over on the right side which means I will need to remove a window and add a door.

Secondly, I want to add lattice around the entire bottom foundation. This will be created with several layers of cardstock.

Floorboards made from Cricut Kraft Board strips are used to cover both porches. These will be painted at a later stage.

I’ve also removed the far back right window and filled the hole so that kitchen cabinets and stove can be placed along that wall.

My next step was to paint and paper the inside walls, add flooring, fill the kitchen window hole, and install the porch door. I’ve also finished off the walls with painted white baseboard.

Back to the front (below left and right), I’ve added the lattice and painted the porches. Using some Cricut corrugated cardboard I’ve created a finish for the lower areas of the base covering all of the dark painted wood sections.
