The Fairy Godmother's Cottage Dollhouse

My new dollhouse is The Fairy Godmother's Cottage. Despite the name, this house is not an over the top magic theme. Rather it's a cozy, old world look. You know the usual! I've made all my furniture already.

The vintage stove tutorial is here: http://www.cinderellamoments.com/2014/04/vintage-style-dollhouse-miniature-stove.html
 Most of the furniture is made with 1/16" x 4" x 24" bass wood.

The little chair is from Hobby Lobby.  I just painted it and added a cushion. I don't know where that pumpkin came from. But I made the table, stool, crates, books(see that big book with the wand on it?), basket, mushrooms and all the little plants.

I made paintings, mirror, and a wreath.  I had to make a collection of dress paintings for a Fairy Godmother!  I think these will go in the stairs area.

I made an upholstered chair, a mantel and a pantry with a screen door.

This is the furnishing for the bedroom upstairs.

 These daybeds are my new obsession. I'll have to do a tutorial on them for you.

 The legs are stair spindles.

 The curtains are ready. They are sprayed with hairspray so they hang correctly. A tip from LibertyBiberty.

I made spiral stairs for this dollhouse. The tutorial is here: http://pequeneces-maragverdugo.blogspot.com.es/p/diy-victorian-spiral-stairs.html#.WAfChiTIiVt
Mara did a fantastic job explaining this. It just took me a couple of hours. You spend most of the time waiting for stuff to dry. I made a couple of changes. Like Mara's instructions called for 2 hand fans so you could double up the steps to make them stronger. I didn't see that and only ordered one fan from China(which took over a month to get here!). So I just did sing ply steps and it worked anyways. Also my pole is 1/8" wide by however tall you need it. 
It looks intimidating but it is very easy to do. Give it a try. It's great because it doesn't take up much room and has so much charm. Thanks for sharing your wisdom Mara!
The house is almost done and I can't wait to show you!
Have a fantastic week!

Orchard House Custom Dollhouse

Orchard House is my latest dollhouse. This one is unfurnished.

It's an L shape design. 17 1/2" tall x 15 3/4" wide x 15 3/4"long.

All the windows are custom. They have dividers that are Popsicle sticks cut lengthwise.

The vines are all from Hobby Lobby. I have all the links in the Resources page(tab is at the top of this page). The path is sand from the candle filler section. It was white and I didn't like the stark look so I paint it with multiple colors until it was right. I laid down the sand on top of white glue.

The moss grass is a sticky mat. You just cut out the shape you want and done!

All the windows give this house a super retro look and add so much cozy charm.

The lights are battery operated. The switch and battery are in the chimney. The link for these are in "Resources".

The interior is loaded with vintage charm. I kept the colors neutral so that someone could easily furnish the spaces.

The downstairs wood floors are driftwood color. There's a linen wall on the right. And the opposite wall is a cream and blue worn wallpaper pattern. The other walls are all plaster. The ceiling has a textured pattern paper and wood beams.

The front bump out room has a slat ceiling and a nice large crystal chandelier.

 The old stairs!

 Upstairs one wall has wallpaper. It's a taupe color with cream dots that has been aged. The rest of the walls are white plaster.

The chandelier is white and 3 shades of lavender beads.
My next house is a furnished cottage. Maybe a little more English cottage style.  Thanks for coming over!

The Getaway Cottage Custom Dollhouse

This time I worked on an unfurnished cottage dollhouse that's ready for its new owner's decorating touches: The Getaway Cottage custom dollhouse.

 I kept it simple and neutral all in white. It's just like a design I did a long time ago called Sprinkled With Love Cottage.

This house took about a week to complete.

 It's  18 1/2" tall x 132" wide x 15"long.

The next house is one of my more complicated "L" shaped houses.  I've already cut it out and made the chandeliers for it. 
Have a gorgeous day!

1/144 Scale Dollhouse Cottage

I decided to make a tiny dollhouse for my dollhouse. It's 1/144 scale. And the inspiration is from Iris's cottage in the movie The Holiday.

The little dollhouse is 2 1/4" across x 1 3/4" deep x 3 1/8" tall(2 3/4" to the top of the roof).

I used 1/32" birch wood. 

3 fireplace mantels inside

I made a table, chair, rugs, bed, armoire and an itty bitty dollhouse.

I had to make a messy bed!

I covered the exterior with concrete that I carved with a toothpick for a stone look.

Thanks for stopping by!
