Victorian Beach Cottage Dollhouse

This is the wreath I made for the door. I used tiny shells I brought back from Florida.
I made the shingles very light gray. I mixed white, a little black and water to make a very liquid wash.
I decided to make a little trellis. I put some twine knots on it. The trellis is pieces of bamboo from a place mat.
I made these roses from hand dyed cotton cut into star shapes, fold in half and give a twist and you have a little rose!
This is how it all looks so far.

Victorian Beach Cottage Dollhouse

I got the Storybook Cottage Dollhouse by Greenleaf. I thought it had nice lines for a beach house.
I painted it cream with white trim. And I left off the bay windows.
The little table and chairs came with the kit. I saw a table painted like this at a model home I visited. 


I'm totally obsessed with painting the ceilings of the dollhouses blue! Everything else will be white.I made the little fireplace mantle from leftover wood of the kit. I have the chandelier mostly done.
