The Tranquil Nordic Retreat - Completed

The Tranquil Nordic Retreat custom dollhouse is all done. 

 This is another A Shabby Chic dollhouse but with a bit of Anthropologie style!

 The roof is covered with sheets of moss.

 These roses are tiny miniature mulberry paper roses found in scrapbook or millinery shops.

 The switch and battery for all 3 chandeliers are hidden in the chimney.

 I had to have bunting!

 I just used a mix of brown and black paint watered down to get a wash effect on the window's frame. Looks super time worn. I love that! :)

 The curtains are a heavy canvas. They are actually the drop cloths you find at the home improvement store. Drop cloth curtains are so shabby chic! The texture is perfection. I just used hairspray to keep the folds in place.

 The painted ceiling like Scandinavian homes have brings a very eclectic feel to this house.

 I pulled out the upstairs bedroom so you could see the bed and nightstand better.

 The nightstand is a little Prim style bench I made out of wood. That's a chocolate & sprinkles doughnut on the plate.

Thanks for the visit!

Lance's Old Farmhouse Miniature House

This house was commissioned by Karen. She plans to give it to her boss for Christmas.




Karen wanted her boss to have a mini house so he could enjoy it when he couldn't be there.

This was my first basement!



I had to build the railings a little differently on this house. I wanted to make sure it would withstand shipping with no problems. So instead of fastening in the middle of the posts, I fastened them behind the post. Always have to think of ways to build these tough!

That is a crack that is in the real house's foundation. Gives character!


Love the little vent!
That little light was a fun detail to add. Of course I had to add the screen door. It has screen material to keep out the bugs! It's a little open to show the door behind it.

I'm not sure what that door is for but I made it anyways!
The stones are showing through the concrete. And there is some of the add on cedar deck.

It sure was a lot of fun to make.
