Casa Art Nouveou 2025 This house started out as Ann Bramlet's Upstairs, Downstairs South West house. I had even started putting in SW wallpaper. Then I got some of Jean Day's art nouveou furniture and and suddenly changed my mind and decided to make it an Art Nouveou house. So... it became The South West Art Nouveou House. I made some furniture to go with the house using laser poop but the best piece ended up not being used because I went from not having enough furniture to having too much. I got another room made by someone named Cornel in the UK. All together it was a fun house to make. I looked up "art nouveou" on the Internet and got ideas for things to make for it. Here is my version of a SW Art Nouveou house. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Please click on the photos for larger views. |

 My Version of a SW Art Nouveou House |
 Overview of the inside. |
 One of the first things I found on line was an Art Nouveou House that had cement owls on the top. I thought "OH GOOD" I can put owls on it! Actually, owls are used a lot in Art Nouveou. I have the artist's name but I'll have to go through my notes and find it. |
 Another feature I fell in love with was a glass awning over the front door. So I created my version if it in miniature. |
 And of course, I changed Ann's design and put the double window upstairs. I also put in stained glass. I saw the beautiful designed mullions online and had Andrew Alessio create them in miniature for me. |
 The last outside feature is the staircase. I created my own but it came out a bit wonky. I also created a work area under the stair case. The door does open but not enough to take a photo of the tools on the wall or the wheel barrow inside. |
 Starting with the upstairs the bed, bureau, and dresser are from Jean Day kits. Don't remember who I got the small bedside table from. The light next to the bed is from Ruth Stewart, and the armoire is Cornel. Small lamps Sherri Lackey in my swap group. |
 In this view, you can see Jean Day's picture frames. I'll have to ask her the artists name for the prints. I was in the kit but I didn't keep it. |
 This view shows Cornel's armoire better. I believe the shelf over the bed is Jean Day's too. |
 This second bedroom has Cornel's bed and a dresser. the rest of the furniture is Jean Day. You can see the stained glass window better. |
 This view shows the one dresser and bureau. |
 This side of the room has the Cornel dresser and Jean Day bureau. |
 The living room is where things get interesting. I made the art nouveou cabinet in the corner, the end tables and the coffee table. I used a lot of the laser poop but some was not. Oh, and I made all the rugs in the house. |
 You can see the things I made better along with the Jean Day's love seat and chair. |
 On this side, you can see Jean Day's shelf on the wall and the lamps I made. |
 This is the dining room - kitchen. I took Jean Day's half table and made it round by adding another table to it. To make it more interesting, I used two different colors on each table. |
 The shelf on the wall has plates in it and I used the hall table in the dining room since I didn't have a hall. There are room dividers between the dining room and kitchen. |
 And finally the kitchen which isn't anything special. I considered myself lucky that the fridge, sink and stove fit into the window opening. I used a cute little cat theme that I printed off the Internet. |
I hope you enjoyed your tour of the South West Art Nouveou house. I'll try to remember to get the names of the artist who did all the framed prints in the house, and the one who did the owls that I used for inspiration. I might even scan the owls into the computer so I can put them here so you can see them. I however could not have made them to look like the real ones do I used what I had. Check back in a few days and I'll try to have this page updated. What do you think, Ann? Don't think this is what you had in mind when you designed this house. | |
