Shabby Chic Trailer Dollhouse

The trailer now has wood floor(Popsicle/craft sticks) and wall coverings. I used a ridged paper for the wainscoting(from the scrapbook section of the craft store) and a linen fabric for the top(also scrapbook). 
The Windows and door got some framing with Popsicle sticks cut lengthwise. 
Everything is painted white except the fabric on the top of the wall. I made a sink/stove, a table, bed and mantel. The chairs are from Hobby Lobby. 
For the exterior I used the same ridged paper but horizontally this time. Sorry for the dark photos but a huge storm was happening at the time.
The front has no window because I really wanted a mantel in the trailer.
The back does have a window. I cut it out with a small box cutter.  
Now I'm putting in lights and trimming the outside. I'll be back soon to show this.
Thanks so much for coming by!
Hugs,
Caroline

    Hello Caroline,
    As always, your miniatures are so inventive, realistic and very homely. I love the ridged paper, it's very effective in both its uses, but especially handy for curving around the outside of the trailer. I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish this little home off....it'll be stunning I have no doubt!
    All the best
    Vivian

    That is so cute! I love the ridged paper, and the fireplace. I have some one-sided corrugated cardboard I've been meaning to use - your wainscoting idea is perfect!

    ¡Hola! Bonito trabajo. Me gusta el efecto del cartón estriado, da un bonito aspecto a ala carrocería. La mesa y las sillas están fenomenal .Espero ver como pintas ese exterior.

    I like the way you used the cardboard. I always wondered how it would work. Thanks for sharing!

    I am wondering what sort of vehicle I would need to go traveling pulling your trailer? My dad had a think for old red Rambler station wagons. He even owned a huge '96 Chevy station wagon that was about a block long. We drove it the Houston one year for Christmas. Hubby drives a F 250 Ford Pick-up, too modern for this sweet trailer. Love it. And thank you so much for answering my questions.
