Cinderella's Fairytale Cottage Dollhouse
I finally started on the Cinderella's cottage dollhouse!
Here's the front. The turret will just be for show on this house. The cardboard tube I used for this turret is a little too small for the door(that's how I intended to use it). So I will just create a faux turret for looks only not functional.
In the attic I tried making an exposed slat plaster wall. Those are just Popsicle sticks I split and smooched into the plaster so it would ooze out all around.
This is downstairs with one coat of plaster. I also made this little fireplace with scrap wood.
I have painted 2 coats of cream color so far. I think the 3rd coat will have a soft pink tint.
This will be the downstairs ceiling. It's my special "tin" tile Victorian ceiling made by following a pattern on cardboard with hot glue. The result is a 3d tin like tile. These just need some silver for tin and rust accents.

Oh man, what a brilliant idea to make a tin tile roof using hot glue like that! I never would have thought of that, excellent tip, thanks! Yours looks really good, can't wait to see it once you do the silver finish on it. I also love the exposed lathe in the attic, great touch. :)

Great idea with the attic wall. It looks very effective. Looking forward to seeing that finished ceiling too. It's all looking great! Judith x
ReplyDeleteI love it so far! I really love the slats and plaster wall- the ceiling in my craft room actually looks kind of like that and after redoing a couple rooms of plaster and lathe my craft room ceiling just got fabric stapled over it-lol! I can't wait to see what you do with the turret and I LOVE the different patterns you used in the ceiling!

ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!
I love your ideas, your imagination and your productivity! Do you ever sleep?
The tile ceiling is so brilliant and I love that you are painting with a soft pink tint.
I will check back and see how this beautiful cottage comes along.
Hugs,

Yet another masterpiece in the making! x
ReplyDeleteSo ingenious the way you made your tin ceiling tiles! I just love them. They're so nostalgic. They bring me back to this house I lived in as a child. We had them in the kitchen and the bathroom.
