[Build Progress] Sunlit Farmhouse Kitchen 9.0 🏡 finished

Hi there! :yellow_heart:

I’ve finally finished this kit—it was quite a crafting challenge, haha!

As I mentioned, this kit is a collaboration; I had to delay it for personal reasons, and I feel terrible about that—even though I was told it wasn’t a problem. I still feel guilty, though, because I like to post things shortly after receiving them.

My mother fell in love with this kit the moment she saw a photo of it; I’ve never given her one before—I keep all of mine stored in boxes, or some on shelves.

So I’m going to give it to her as a gift; I hope Robotime doesn’t get mad at me for gifting the collaboration item to my mom, hehe.

It’s a kit with so many details; you start by making all the furniture and accessories, which is something I love!

I appreciate that the glue is included in the kit, but it is very runny and takes a long time to dry; many parts slide around, so you have to hold them in place for them to set correctly. This makes the whole kit a bit frustrating and is the main thing slowing down the build. I would glue a few pieces, wait for them to dry, and so on.

I love how everything has been put together; when my mother saw the finished model, she said, “It’s the little house of my dreams!” and smiled—it made me so happy to see her happy.

Honestly, I think this kit was designed with love; every detail is well-crafted, the accessories are lovely, and the color palette is so harmonious—it is truly pleasing to the eye.

Now let’s talk about the designer of this plant—the one that’s supposed to be a pumpkin, haha. I call it the “cursed bonsai,” haha. What kind of Robotime designer thought we were the Hulk, able to twist that wire without dying in the attempt? Haha. That designer really shouldn’t design any more plants, please. :rofl:

I bet it’s the same designer who did that terrifying plant, haha—seriously, I’m sure of it.

Anyway, let’s leave the plants alone; we already know they turned out badly, but thank goodness I managed to camouflage them with paper as best I could. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I’m absolutely in love with this area; it reminds me of my mom’s little dog—we love her just like another member of the family… she’s adorable.

And now, as always, the pros and cons of this kit—hahaha, I’m sure you can already guess what the cons are, right? Hahaha. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Pros:

  • adorable kit
  • tons of accessories and details
  • the little dog is adorable
  • everything fits together well
  • the size is perfect
  • my mom wanted to keep it for herself, haha—it’s the first kit she’s ever wanted to swipe from me
  • clear instructions
  • comes with glue

Cons:

  • the glue is very weak, and you have to wait for everything to dry
  • the bonsai and the wire vine are a nightmare to assemble
  • I’m not a fan of gluing paper to the floor and walls; it ends up peeling at the corners
  • the instructions say to attach the shelf with adhesive strips, but it falls down due to the weight; you have to use glue instead

If you love gluing absolutely everything together—and cutting out and pasting down floors and walls—then this is the kit for you; however, if you lack patience, I wouldn’t recommend it.

As always, here is the video I made; I just uploaded it today!

I hope you like it! :blush:

I understand why your mom fell in love with it. It turned out really beautiful and so homey, like someone really lives in it :blush:

Aww, I love that you’re giving this one to your mom! Her saying “the little house of my dreams” must have made all the time and patience worth it. The finished kit looks so charming, and I love how honest you were about the tricky parts, especially that “cursed bonsai” haha. It sounds like a challenging build, but the personal meaning behind it makes it extra special. I’m sure your mom will treasure it! :heart:

@Sasa this turned out so gorgeous! The Sunlit Farmhouse is such a detail-rich kit, and your craftsmanship really brings out the best in it. The green unit against the white oven and that lovely little garden entryway look so cozy!

​Having your mum love it so much is truly the icing on the cake. Crafting moments like that make all the patient hours of gluing and placing tiny details 100% worth it! Fantastic job! :clap::tomato::house: you madecme laugh the designer should not design any more plants lol ! Your reaview was great !

Hehe, I’ll give it to someone who likes it—though I’m keeping the plush-style Nancy blind boxes for myself if they try to swipe those! Hahaha.

Yeah! He never asks me for kits, haha, so I thought it would be nice to give him one! Hahaha. Luckily, I won’t be repeating the “cursed bonsai” experience, hahaha.

Thanks so much, lovely! Yeah, I don’t usually order kits, to be honest—haha—but I did get that one! Although, she does try to swipe my Nanci blind-box plushies (the bears and bunnies)—haha—so I really have to keep an eye on those! Haha. I’m glad I made you laugh!
