I'm not pleased with the result at all, luckily the photo is not so clear so you can't see all the faults. For now the stove will stay, even it is not perfect at all....

Stove....
I have made a stove for the kitchen. First I wanted to buy one, but the price was beyond my budget so I thought it was cheaper to make one myself. For the inspiration I surched on the net and made up my own design. At first everything went well, until the paint job:(
I'm not pleased with the result at all, luckily the photo is not so clear so you can't see all the faults. For now the stove will stay, even it is not perfect at all....

Even if you think your stove is not perfect... I think it is!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic and it's great to do things on your own instead of buying them :-)
Hugs Lina
Thank you Lina, you make my day;) most times I try to make all the miniatures myself and most times I'm satisfied with the results;)
DeleteSe ve genial¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteNo puedo imaginar donde está el fallo, se ve preciosa ,muy bien hecha y original¡¡¡
No sea tan exigente
Susi
Thank you Susi, sometimes I am very critical on my work but most of the times I'am happy;)
DeleteI think you have done a great job making the stove... I´ve been browaing the net the last couple of days since I wanted to make a stove for my French Mouse Mansion. I ended up ordering a cream aga. Now I´ll see how it fints the kitchen when it arrives.
ReplyDeleteThat was the one I have been dreaming about...love it! I did not know about your Mouse Mansion, just have a look on your blog...the mouse are very cute! Enjoy your new aga:)))
DeleteDear Sab, there is nothing wrong with your stove. It has an old world look about it. It's a special stove because it's not something that we will see everywhere. It's unique to you. I think it complements the look you are going for. I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lucille, I needed to make the stove first, because it determined the width of the chimney. That is the next thing to do...the chimney!
DeleteI think you are being too hard on yourself! It's brilliant! May I ask what you used to build it?
ReplyDeleteWell maybe I am a bit hard...but in real you can see the faults beter:( I build it from wood, studs and some beads:)
DeleteIt's really effective!
DeleteYour stove is fantastic! Perfectly shabby. It will look brilliant when you put it into a scene.
ReplyDeleteYes, you might be right;)
DeleteNix mis mee hoor, en ach het is maar een fornuis, het gaat toch om wat je er in bakt? Hoe dan ook ik vind dat je een mooi fornuisje gemaakt hebt!
ReplyDeleteDank je, het ging mis bij het verven...ik kreeg het gewoon niet mooi glad en dat zie je best wel, maar ja...ik ga het fornuisje wel gebruiken dus ik moet het er mee doen;)
DeleteI love your stove and I am sure you will feel happier once it is in place :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, before I can place it...I need to fix the floor first, that will be a big job to do;)
DeleteA mi me parece que te ha quedado fantástica,besitos
ReplyDeleteThank you Pilar;)
DeleteYour stove looks wonderful to me and I love the colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I indendet to give it a creme colour, but as I told the painting job turned out bad, so I had to choose an other colour. Because I used this colour in every room, I decided to make the stove in this colour too;)
DeleteIf my work looked half as good as this, I'd be thrilled. But, it is your house and it should be to your standards, not anyone else's. The next one will be perfect, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteLol, thank you Anna! I don't think I will make an other one...this one gave me a headache already;)
DeleteJust repaint it Sab, if you are not happy with it. Otherwise like the others said, it's pretty good as it is. Some of my real life furniture look way messier than your stove!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't make another one too if the 1st one is already this wonderful.
No painting anymore...the stove has to stay this way....and like you say, if I would ever make an other one, I will not make the same mistakes;)
DeleteNou Sab, jij mag er dan niet tevreden over zijn, op de foto ziet het fornuisje er perfect uit. En daarbij de voldoening van het zelf maken toch? Maar ja...... ken dat gevoel ;-) en we moeten gewoon niet zo hard zijn voor onszelf!
ReplyDeleteIk was in de eerste instantie erg tevreden over het kale exemplaar, heb heel lang het hout geschuurt om alle rondingen en het hout glad te krijgen. Het ging fout bij het verven. Ik heb het eerst hooglans wit gespoten om het een zo glad mogelijk oppervlakte te geven en het een soort emaile look te geven, maar daar ging het fout? Het pakte niet, ook niet na 4 lagen? Toen ben ik het opnieuw gaan schuren enz enz....maar glad heb ik het niet meer gekregen! Maar goed, wat je zegt...we moeten niet zo hard voor ons zelf zijn;)
DeleteWat een prachtige oven heb je gemaakt...
ReplyDeleteGroeten Xandra
Dank je wel Xandra:)
DeleteSuper stove!
ReplyDeleteGeneviève
Wow, thank you:)
DeleteYour stove looks perfect. I like the colors.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Faby
Well thank you;)
DeleteValla bence de gayet süper görünüyor :) Yaptığınız herşey gibi, bu da harika olmuş :) Sevgiler, Ebru
ReplyDeleteTeşekür ederim Ebru, sözlerinle beni şımartın;)
DeleteNot perfect??? Why on earth everything has to be perfect?? Sabje, dit fornuis is het mooiste wat ik sinds lang gezien heb en ik MEEN het echt, hoor, prachtig gedaan! De kleurtjes zijn echt geweldig, net als de knopjes en de hele "reutemeteut"! Wacht maar tot je er wat op gaat bakken, dan zie je niets meer van de "mooiigheid" ;)!
ReplyDeleteGroetjes, Ilona
Nou dank je Ilona, ik ga er gewoon van blozen:)Het mooie van dit huis is dat het niet allemaal zo perfect moet zijn, maar had een iets ander resultaat gewild....maar ik zal niet meer zeuren, het is idd best een mooi oventje!
DeleteSab I really like the stove, it looks antique actually, and if this is your first try with stoves, it's marvelous!! :D
ReplyDeleteMany mini hugs,
Jackie
Thank you Jackie, I'm afraid it will be my first and last:))) so I decided to be happy with it!
DeleteIt's lovely, Congrats.
ReplyDeleteThank you:)
DeleteWow Sab! What ever you are unhappy with is totally invisible to me and everyone else! This stove is wonderful and has a charm that is perfect in its uniqueness and originality! I love the fact that you made it a 6 burner gas stove. Everyone learns by experience that the more burners, the better and for mini cooks, as soon as you confine yourself to only 4, then all the nice cookware has to be displayed elsewhere because there is not enough room on the stovetop ..... ( It is always wise to plan around the featured component than have something not fit, after the fact.) This stove is sooooo well done and I am greatly impressed with your finished product! Again; Wow!
