The Fairy Godmother's Cottage is my newly completed custom dollhouse. This house is a 1/12 scale. It's 18 1/4" tall x 16 1/2" deep x 16 3/4" across.
The pumpkin is ready out front! I made the little toadstool mushrooms from air dry clay.
The house is covered with concrete and plaster for the walls. The roof is coconut mat(from the hardware store in the indoor plant section) and bark.
All the vines are from Hobby Lobby. Click on the Resources tab above to get the links.
There's a simple little light above the door.
The switch and battery for all the lights are in the chimney.
The interior had to look super old.
I put the pantry with the screen door in the entryway.
I found a whole bunch of tiny sand dollars on my trip to Florida a couple weeks ago. I framed this one in a very simple frame I made. The grey background really makes it stand out.

This is the collection of dress paintings I made. They look perfect behind the spiral stairs.
The bedroom is upstairs. I put the daybed here with a little bench. Bench tutorial : http://www.cinderellamoments.com/2015/11/miniature-boiling-over-pot.html
I hope you had fun looking at the photos. And maybe it gave you some great ideas for your own project.
Of course I'm already onto the next projects. I'm working on two trailers. One small and one regular size. I've already cut them out of wood. And I will do that daybed tutorial for you! Stay tuned! Wishing you a magical day!!!
big hugs♥,
Super cute! All of the little details make the house so perfect. Thanks for your advice on scrapbook paper. I think I will try it out on scrap wood first. I will use Yes, the wallpaper glue that I have been using because it is water soluble and strips out easily. I look forward to the day bed tutorial. Great work.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful project, simply gorgeous!
