A castle must have everything: even a kitchen sink. But I have always thought the typical dolls house sink (Belfast sink in two brick supports) was a bit, well, typical. Trying to pack in as many kitchen features as possible, I decided that the Victorian owners must have converted an old Georgian brick stove into a sink when the Victorian stove range was installed. That way I could make a brick stove AND a sink I the same space a bit like this one at Lanhydrock (?):
Here are some of the other brick stoves that inspired me:
Kew Palace
Ham House
My digs in Nottingham whilst on tour with RSC's Dream 16!
And here is mine under construction:
The structure is box card, with cereal card for the arches. The egg carton bricks are placed 7mm apart. I don't think I've really got the hang of the brick arches though.
And here it is before the grouting:
The sink is a bought, plastic sink, painted white with acrylics.
