Here's the progress on the 4th of July Dollhouse. I found the eagle above as an unfinished wooden eagle. I think I'll put it somewhere in front of the house.
I made the ceiling with my "tin" tile method.
I bought scrapbook paper for wallpaper.
I used the yellow paper downstairs. The floors are hand painted and varnished.
The front wall bead board is just a piece of cardboard with the top paper removed to show the ridges.
The curtains are gingham ribbon hot glued in place.
Upstairs I glued the green scrapbook paper and I painted the front wall green with white polka dots and the swooshy roses. I also put up the curtains. I usually put those up last when it's the hardest to get your hand in there. LOL! But this time I did things the easiest way!
The porch has a wooden plank floor. I just carved out some narrow ridges with a box cutter to get different sized planks and stained it brown.
I painted the ceiling of the porch sky blue.
I ordered some more wires to put the chandeliers in. So I'll have to work around the electrical for now.
What a fantastic house, Caroline! I love the red gingham curtains, the sky blue porch ceiling, the staircase, and the front door knob! I can't wait to see more! :-) Jennifer
