Grimmauld Place Build

Here is the basement level where the kitchen is.  This part is pretty much finished and ready for furnishings and accessories.  A few flying brooms sit in the corner behind the stairs, freshly placed there after the Order’s timely rescue of Harry from the Dursley’s.  The stone walls were made from cardboard egg cartons painted in shades of gray, slate blue, and tan.  The stone floors are made from Creative Paperclay.  There is more to the pictures than is shown above.  Just click on them for a full view.

This is a shot of the entryway, just inside the front door, showing the troll leg umbrella stand that Tonks was notorious for tripping over.

Here is a sort of before and after shot of the interior.   The basement level has been completed.   Every room has now been wallpapered, and the flooring and ceilings done.  All that is left are the mouldings.

The basement level is of course the kitchen with Kreachers boiler room, the first floor is the dining room, the second floor the drawing room, the third floor is Sirius’s bedroom (the walls have been covered with a grey silk just like in the book but the camera flash makes them look a lot lighter than they really are), and the fourth floor is the room that Harry, Ron and Hermione slept in.  I haven’t yet decided what I’m going to do with the top floor yet.

The kitchen walls and ceiling are completely finished now and the room is now ready to receive its lighting fixtures, furniture and accessories…the FUN part!!

The kitchen in Grimmauld Place is starting to come to life.  The stones on the walls are made from cardboard egg carton material that was painted, cut, and then glued on.  The flooring tiles were made from Creative Paperclay.   There’s still quite a ways to go!
