La Brocante Dollhouse

My new commission is completed. It's called "La Brocante". 

If this house looks familiar it's because it's a copy of my "Un Immeuble a Paris" with a few changes.

This dollhouse has one shop and the entry to the upstairs apartment downstairs.

 I made these doors from scratch and I wrote a tutorial which will be available very soon.

I bought a little bike at Hobby Lobby. All repainted it looks very vintage.

I took this advertisement from the internet. Just tap "print screen" and paste any image into the Paint program.  Cut out the image and save it on a new Paint page and you get a clear image.

The brocante shop is very shabby chic. It has a counter and shelf that I made myself.  I made most of the stuff in this house. I'm learning item by item.  Remember, I started out just making the houses. But build by build I've been teaching myself new skills. Keeps things interesting!

The ceiling is stained and aged. It's 3D paper from the scrapbook section.

This canoe was at Hobby Lobby in the unfinished wood item section. I sawed it off it's base and painted it.

This is a little cupola with a moss roof. There are lots of shutters, architectural element and window in the shop too.

This is a view from behind the counter. The wall is covered with a cream canvas fabric behind that shelf.

This wall has roses wallpaper(from the internet) that is framed with Popsicle sticks.

This is the entry to go upstairs.  I made the little tray table by looking at other people's photos online.  The little welcome mat is made of super thick canvas that is for book binding.

 At the top of the stairs is the kitchen.  And no railing again. I know some of you get concerned with doll safety. LOL! But I need the space and decided on design over safety.

I made the vintage looking range(click here for tutorial) and the little sink to fit on this wall. 

 The next room is a living room. I made one chair super shabby prairie style and one lace chair. The wings on the mantel are cardboard. 

The bricks in the mantel are carved ready mix concrete.

This house has battery operated lights. Each chimney has a switch and battery that controls each side of the house. You can find the links to materials I use on my Resources page. This dollhouse is 21 3/4" tall x
 20 1/2" across x 14" deep.

Thanks for coming over!
P.S.Gigie & Lizzie are doing terrific.
