The Donut Shop Dollhouse
I'm still working on the Donut shop.
Remember the inspiration cottage? A Donut Shop print.
This is painted by Kim. I found her shop Kim's Cottage Art on Etsy and was amazed at the cuteness!
I worked on the door. I just carved out the rectangles using a box cutter.
The interior got a coat of plaster.
To cut little pieces of wood this cutter is a must. It will save your hands from calluses! I first heard about this from Norma over at Make Mine Mini I think. It's a bit expensive, but worth every penny!
Next I painted. The roses and flowers on the front wall are hand painted.
This is a piece of very whimsical gift wrap. I used white glue to put it up. The white wainscoting is corrugated cardboard.
This wall I painted the bottom pink with white dots. On top, it is white with tiny pink spots. The border is white cardboard that I cut with special scissors.
I made the little curtain edge using french knots.
I can't wait to see how it looks with the siding. I think I'll use popsicle sticks for the siding.

Morning Caroline,
ReplyDeleteWell, I put "In the good ole summertime" on my netflix queue, so eventually we will see it too. thanks, I knew there was another one they talked about in the extra things they had about "You've got mail" but forgot to write it down, and my daughter has our movie, so thanks for the heads up, cause I probably would have forgotton.
Your donut shop is coming out so well. Loved the roses painted on the wall and the color scheme, and that cute lil shade. Gonna be another winner, I can tell...........
Have a wonderful week sweetie,
Blessings, Nellie
This will be cute!!!
ReplyDeleteBecause I love your blog, I have an award for you. You will find it on my blog.
