Louisiana Apartments - The Front faces the wall

My 1700s Louisiana Apartment building

has finally been completely bricked.

The part that you see with the ladder is the

front of the

dollhouse that was supposed to

face the wall and never to be seen.

I never intended for the front of the building

to be seen.

Had to empty everything

out of the building in order to move it

in front of my bedroom window.

It sure was heavy and cumbersome

to move.

 Had to turn the dollhouse

to get more light inside so my pics would

take better. 

So this left me with that problem on how

to make the front look somewhat symmetrical.

I googled Louisiana houses etc...and noticed

that some of their windows were shuttered.

So this is the plans for the front side of

this building - that is - when I get around

to it!

Got me to thinking. I have

decided to put window trim everywhere there

is suppose to be a window. I am then going

to glue shutters to the trim. None of the shutters will open.

This should solve that problem.

I like the ladder

that is propped up against the dollhouse. I do

have plans of painting it in a blue color.

Colors will change when I decided about the

shutter colors too.

The ladder is a little thick as you can tell.

 A painter needs to be up there painting.

Oops! my steps are turned the wrong way.

The

front door was painted brown & then white painted

on top. I am hoping that it kind of makes the door

look old.  

This door opens just to reveal a small

entry on the inside.

You must use your imagination of how

you rise to the other floors.

All of the space was needed for the apartments.

One day the house will be finished.

I always jump the gun and have fun with the

interior first.

This is the back side of the building,

basically the side that opens!

  The windows

are symmetrical until you reach the 4th

floor.

The reason for that is because
by the time I got to that floor, I wanted some
variety in the floor plan.
 I wanted

Apartments can get boring if everyone of them
look the same, only difference being
the furniture.

So, that middle window

originally held a kitchen beneath it.
Now I think that

it gives the building some character. 

 This is one of the side views of the building.
I still need shutters on the sides too.
Lots of work to still be done.
