The French Cafe Dollhouse

The striped awning is on. The gray shingles are almost done.
Inside, I hinged the door in place and the window trims are painted.
I'm starting to paint all the stucco and stones.
I'm going for a very old look just like the cafes in Paris. So I used a moss green and a lighter green to make those moldy drip marks under the windows.

    First of all, can you please put that first photo onto PINTEREST?? One of my boards is "Striped Things" and I want this on there please! :)
    I will also re-pin to my "Dollhouses" board. :)
    Bottom line: BEAUTIFUL WORK!

    Que bien combinas colores y texturas, te esta quedando fantastica.
    Me encanta como piensas en los mas minimos detalles, como por ejemplo en el tono verdoso del moho de las ventanas, genial!!!

    Hi Caroline, it looks more and more French, I like the green drip marks under the windows and the little bleu house number, that is typically French.
    Have a great weekend !!
