I think its a good idea to make the windows plainer.

I have just been watching Upstairs/ Downstairs from the 1960's on You tube and it features lots of details of the servants kitchen, which has a stove that looks very much like yours and a lot of doors to the various downstairs rooms that the servants occupy! I thought I'd pass it on because the series is good and the detail are abundant!<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396908109041888223.post-63063635794296168872013-08-19T13:03:09.611-07:002013-08-19T13:03:09.611-07:00Your project is really exciting.

In genere hanno anche le sbarre. Per quanto riguarda le porte sono molto più semplici rispetto alla zona patronale.Spero di esserti stata d'aiuto..<br />Un caro abbraccio, ManuAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028514427286182943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396908109041888223.post-53161005719774772682013-08-19T09:21:48.555-07:002013-08-19T09:21:48.555-07:00Great work so far!

I use the magic brick system, but have also seen some great 3d brick papers. <br /><br />The basement doors would have been good solid doors, but much simpler and ornate.<br /><br />This project is going to be wonderful and I am very excited about it.<br />Big hug,<br />GiacGiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396908109041888223.post-86628914528700894132013-08-19T03:03:48.222-07:002013-08-19T03:03:48.222-07:00I love basements!

Now about your questions; I think Otterine did a great job on the basement of her own Haunted Hertitage. If you look for ideas (like windows in the basement) I can recommend a visit to her post about it. If I were in your place, I would keep the basement windows more simple than the main windows, so the attention is drawn to the main part of the house first and only next to the basement....<br />Have fun and I am looking forward to see your progress,<br />Hugs, LiduinaTessa Liduinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13776252916934188156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396908109041888223.post-52856645127347958882013-08-18T22:52:40.992-07:002013-08-18T22:52:40.992-07:00El basamento queda perfecto!!! la casa cobra impor...El basamento queda perfecto!!! la casa cobra importancia,es un proyecto fantástico!!!!<br />Besos.PILAR6373https://www.blogger.com/profile/12804015231605778206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396908109041888223.post-5976163170838974562013-08-18T22:02:56.236-07:002013-08-18T22:02:56.236-07:00I admire your commitment to this project, even add...I admire your commitment to this project, even adding a basement!

The alcove for that wonderful stove is going to be great and I am glad that you have factored in the wiring now at this early stage because it will make your work all the easier, the more progress you make. As to your questions, My opinion is yes there should be windows in your basement but you will have to decide how far above ground you want it to be and then place your windows accordingly. I have no experience with stenciled brick but have seen it used. Real brick would be nice but what about bricks from egg carton. There is little additional weight and it is a lot cheaper and very easy to install. For your doors I think that you already have researched that the doors were plainer than the main floors. The movie " The Remains of the day" has some great references to the English servants quarters that may help you decide and narrow down your choices. I know that you will be having lots of fun with this and I look forward to seeing how you resolve the next steps! Good work Indy-Poppy!<br /><br />elizabeth elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.com
