I’ve pondered for months, literally, over what to do about tiling the roof. It looks so impressive but can be so expensive. And not to mention the decision of whether to use texture sheeting, tiles or stencils? And do you go for terracotta, maroon, light or dark grey? So many choices!
But another decision was made after seeing so many of these options first hand at the dollhouse show. I’m a little sad to say that price did end up playing a role in my decision making process, but it was always going to really, I have way too much roof to cover!
I chose a terracotta clay square tile, some of which are weathered in appearance to give an authentic feel.
I’m a little worried that I didn’t actually buy enough to cover the whole area though…
I painstakingly hand glued each tile individually. Placing each row in the gap of the previous.
I haven’t finished yet as I need to find a way to cut out all the tricky shaped pieces. But here is an idea of the finish so far, and the amount of time it took me!
