This shed is 14 3/4"(37.4cm) tall x 15"(38cm) deep x 8 1/2"(21.5cm) across. And the porch/garden is 6 1/4" deep(15.8cm).
The dirt is ground coffee.
The path is sand. Nothing is glued down in this house. The little red wagon can roll around. I dipped the wagon in paint stripper and then added som rust. The rust is just a couple of shades of yellow brown acrylic paint.
I made the flowers myself. I used colored tissue paper for the pink poppies. The other two have hole punch cut petals I glued on individually. All of them have a clay core.
This side has the battery and switch hidden under the vines. I don't always have a chimney to hide the wiring. Another option is to put everything under the house.
For the roof, I used Crepe Myrtle bark and moss. The front roof has corrugated cardboard painted to look like old tin.
I made everything in here except for the chandelier which I found in the Christmas ornament section at Hobby Lobby. It was a bright neon color. But so garden like! So I gave it a make-over and added a light.
This shed is available in my shop CinderellaMoments.etsy.com
Thanks for coming over!hugs♥,
How dreamy, Caroline! What a fun piece, especially for a gardener. It's nice that nothing is glued down, so the owner can enjoy "playing" with it. Fun! xo Jennifer

ReplyDeleteKind regards Xandra
Incredible! I just love the contrast between rustic & chic. The worn wood with that lovely chandelier...it just such a charming look. I agree with Jennifer, half the fun of owning this beautiful piece is the opportunity to "play."

Gorgeous! I like the many small details.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cute!! But well, I miss all the pink and light blue stuff you use in your other dollhouses... Anyways, it is a very nice house, and I love all the little details you put there, like the red wagon:)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Candy:)
Wow! Amaizing...perfect as always.

Okay, can I order one of these in big girl size:) I love it! I dream of having a real one someday. Your mini version is lovely, down to every little detail. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteHow busy you've been while I was away... Everything is so gorgeous and full of charm. I love the potting shed.
ReplyDeleteConcerning the doll I am amazed. To be honest when I see how the doll was at the start I find it awful and with your work the doll really becomes beautiful with a character of its own.

Love the potting shed. I'm horrible at gardening, so it's a wonderful idea to have it in miniature! BTW, how do you get the ground coffee and sand to stay in place?
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! I use Aileen's Tacky white glue. I paint it on with a paint brush. Use a pretty decent amount. Then I pour the coffee or sand over it, tap it down a bit and walk away. When it's all dry get the excess off and Voila!

I forgot about your Wiltshire cottage project. How's it coming along? I'm excited to see what you do with the exterior. The 'cotswold' has so many different looks. ; )
ReplyDeletePs. Visit my blog and see what I'm doing with Toad Hollow. I'm really getting into writing the art books that go along with the cottage. I almost wish I didn't have to build the cottage! Lol keytomyworld.com. ; D

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute shed. I love little plants that are planted and the little wagon that with all the tools.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline!
ReplyDeleteLove the little potting shed! It almost makes me want to take up gardening, despite the fact that I have a "black" thumb.
Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
