Francie's Travel Trailer Dollhouse

This is my second trailer dollhouse. The first one was with the Greenleaf kit. But for this commission I decided to make my own.  It's about 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" x 18" long not counting the trailer pull at the front. First, here are a couple of photos of the trailer right before I finished it.
Here you can see the wires coming out of the top of the roof.
The interior without any of the curtains.
 And here is the trailer finished.
 Under the air conditioner on top of the trailer, I have the battery and switch.
 The painting on the exterior is suppose to be very casual like doodling. 



 It was tough to find the right bathtub. When I did the first one, I used a small loaf pan.  They were really hard to find this time. I finally found some at HomeGoods for about $5-$6. There were 4 of them stuck on a rack. But they could be removed. 

 The plumbing is done with thick wire. 
The front pull is not centered here. But that's just because I only had it there for the photo.  I didn't want to glue it on for the shipping. 
I'll be doing a couple more trailers for commissions next.  I have a plan all ready to go for a new dollhouse too. Now I just need the time! :)
hugs♥,

    Oh, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love! Fabulous floral doodling on the outside - brilliant loaf tin tub - love the retro shape of the trailer (or caravan this side of the pond!) - and the air-conditioning unit is such a brilliant touch. Going to make sure Cestina sees this!

    Oh Caroline, another marvellous creation. Although I love the inside - I think the painting on the outside is beautiful!
    All the best

    This is so darling! The painting on the outside is amazing, did you do that yourself? Love!!! Your mind works in such an incredible way...to use a loaf pan for a tub is just genius!

    Hi Caroline! It's so great seeing what everyone in our miniature world has created during my long absence of the blog world ;)! This trailer (here we name it a caravan) is another piece of art from your talented hands. I absolutely love the doodling, it's gorgeous and it gives the caravan that wonderful, special 'Caroline'-look ;O!. The interior has a bit of a gipsy trailer at first sight, nice work! Great find, this bath tub, it fits nice in this bathroom.
    I wish you a lovely and cosy weekend. Hugs, Ilona

    This is an amazing creation from your skilled hands once again <3 I like the Magnolia living style soooo much, although it is so far in style from my Tasha Tudor cottage project.
    I always love your work

    Cestina has seen it and loves it! As usual, something you make is completely enchanting Caroline.

    I didn't know Greenleaf made one, I wonder if Butterfly could give one her own inimitable touch...I feel Small Worlds is in need of a caravan!

    The way you decorated the outside is wonderful and goes so well with the inside. The colours and all the details inside are fabuluous.

    Absolutely gorgeous, so Magnolia Pearl :) The tiny loaf tin bath tub is a stroke of genius, I'll definitely be on the lookout for some of those as they could be just the thing for some little cottage bathrooms.

    Beautiful! I don't know how you figure out how to do so many things all on your own, but you are amazing! Do you happen to have a tutorial anywhere on how to make the kind of chandelier you have hanging in the bathroom?

      Hi Patricia! The chandelier is a jewelry end cap with filigree holes in it at the top. There's a ring in the middle. I use thin wire strung with beads to go from the end cap to the ring. Then I use thread to do the bottom swags. I hope this helps!

    Really beautiful Caroline! The painting on the ourside looks so lovely I can imagine the lady of the trailer out there decorating her place amongst a mountain background!

    Lovely feminine style, always wonderful!

    I love the painted vines on the exterior! They look very beautiful and intricate. The inside looks beautiful and luxurious. I think this will be a really fun trailer for some lucky doll to travel in!
