• (4) "Tiny Houses" - by GIRLS IN THE GARAGE - 1" scale
Georgia Matuschak, Janet M. Oliver, Pat Williams & Mary Lee Hyman
GIRLS IN THE GARAGE is a NAME club with scattered members but five who meet weekly, in a garage of course. 4-5 hours a week gives us time to accomplish "lotsa" miniatures while enjoying each other's company.
We "GIG's", as we call ourself, are all avid HGTV fans, also loving "shaby chic" style, wanted to find a "Fixer Upper" that we could "Flip or Flop". We became " House Hunters" looking for "Good Bones" while aspiring to be "Rehab Addicts" and restyle an available house kit. The picture is of a very inexpensive Greenleaf house kit (under $25) but it had potential as our "Tiny House".
We began in November dealing with the splintery wood of the kit. A new foundation and sandwiching the kits walls with Gador or foam core board was necessary for strength and stability. Enlarging some areas and dividing the small space to get a bath, kitchen, bed, and living space was needed to fit our mental image. We added our own touches using new windows, flooring, wallpaper, shiplap, furnishings and a few "Flea Market Finds".
We will "Flip and Move" our "Tiny Houses" for all to see in the Seattle Miniature Show Exhibit Area on March 3 and 4. COME SEE OUR RESULTS finished or not!
