French Cafe Dollhouse

Here is the other dollhouse I have been working on: a French Cafe. This was an idea sent to me from Camille. 

I used the Greenleaf Orchid kit to start off. I cut the top of the roof off to get a flat top. Cut out two big windows in the front, added a transom above the door and changed the three upstairs windows.

I also added a patio with cobble stone sculpted out of concrete.

This whole house has a gray and cream color scheme. Inside, the walls are cream and aged. The paneling(sculpted plaster) is gray based, aged with mahogany.

Then I dry brushed it white and with another layer of light gray. I'll have to show you that picture tomorrow when the light is brighter. The wood floor is a watered down gray to let the wood grain show through.

The outside is all concrete. The embellishment is from Niki at Artistic Supplies.  
I think the outside will be cream stone??

 

Here is a shot of the concrete I use on all my houses.

The Shabby Chic Farmhouse Dollhouse

Finally, some pictures of the Shabby Chic Farmhouse!

Charlotte and Victoria are ready to show it to you. Yes, I named them and they are now available in my shop.

This one is available in my Etsy shop: Cinderella Moments

A Shabby Chic Farmhouse and Dolls!

I've been obsessed with tiny dolls for a while. I've studied them and collected a multitude of ideas from all over the internet. All of them have a fairy/Blythe quality about them. And of course they must be shabby chic! Well with the help of my sister this is what we came up with...

We used air dry clay. The arms and legs are stringed together in a very primitive way. They have a cream paint with varnish on top. The dresses are bits of tea stained cotton and lace.

I made the crowns from screen material, glitter and a little button embellishment I painted white and rusted. The back has some seam binding ribbons.

The hair is hemp twine.

This one has a longer neck. I really have to give them names!

The Shabby Chic Farmhouse is also finished. But there has been rain all weekend and no light. But I'll show you some pictures anyways. 

Hopefully, tomorrow will be brighter!

And Thank You Gloria from The Little Red House with the White Porch for mentioning me on her Christmas decoration post. Love ya Gloria! <3!!
