1920s Cottage Dollhouse: concrete and paint

I finished my stucco and rocks on the cottage.

I use patch concrete for this. I carve the rocks with a coat of concrete that is thicker.

 I painted the stucco a warm gray. The rocks are done in different shades of cream/tan. I painted the roof green so that when I put the shingles on, no unfinished wood will show through.

1920s Cottage Dollhouse

I started my new dollhouse project.

My sweet blog friend Melody of Brown Gingham Creations always sends me the best cottage pictures. She sent me the most charming 1920s cottage.

I have to try to capture this incredible little home's sweetness.

I chose to use the Sugarplum dollhouse kit to try this house.

I started putting it together.

And I painted the interior walls a gray/blue color.

I scored the floor with a sharp knife.

I painted the dollhouse floor with a watered down medium brown.

Then I added a watered down black paint to age the floor.

I made 2 fireplaces. The inside of the fireplaces is carved plaster.

The attic has wallpaper and the same blue paint as downstairs. I Painted that floor white and aged it. It is also scored like the downstairs floor.

The Artist's Cottage Dollhouse

I got the artist's cottage dollhouse done.

The  rose paintings were very easy to do. The potted flowers are all fabric I dyed and cut into a 5 petal shapes.

The things on the table are all glued down. I didn't want anything to get lost.

 The curtains are a very light pink tint cotton. They have cream bows.

I listed this dollhouse in my Etsy shop. And I'm ready for the next idea to come!

The Artist's Cottage Dollhouse

I worked on the artist's cottage dollhouse. I made a simple little birdhouse out of left over wood.

 This is the inside so far. I started painting the empty frames and canvas that will be on the floor(like an artist would have them).

 I have little pots ready for flowers and a little table.

 I added a little flower box to the front.

My New Project: The Artist's Cottage

I'm doing a new dollhouse.  This one is a little artist's cottage.

A little forgotten house where an artist would love to paint. A little run down shed with a shabby chic and romantic interior.
 The exterior is almost all done. I can't wait to share more with you!
