I immediately thought of le Hameau de la Reine at Versailles. The little cottages are so cute!
So I took a little from each lovely little house and made my own version.
The windows are my favorite!
I found these sheets of coconut basket liners at Lowe's. They are so big that I could make the entire roof with one piece. This is by far my best thatched roof yet.
As always the battery and switch are in the chimney.
I tried putting in curtains. But I just love the simplicity of the interior so much. I think I'll let Antonia decide for herself. This ceiling is perfect for this house. It's all Popsicle sticks.
The painted paneling is framed with Popsicle sticks. I painted roses on bookbinding and then glued that on the frames.
This is a painting of the moulin/watermill cottage at the Hameau/Hamlet.
I painted another rug an book binding fabric.
I made an antique Trumeau mirror.
Thanks so much for coming over!
Absolutely gorgeous!

Every time I see a house from you, I think, this is the most beautiful I have ever seen. It's so adorable nice. The roof is brilliant. It is so finely decorated outdoors. I do love your pictures and your carpets. I'm also pretty crazy about the large glazing bar window.

Je kan zien dat het met liefde gemaakt is echt snoezig dank je wel voor het delen met ons lieve groetjes Danielle
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty, Caroline! Such an enchanting little home away from home! I love those big windows. They contribute an old fashioned ambiance. This is the most realistic thatched roof I have ever seen. The colour is just right and complements the exterior perfectly. The colour is also a very good backdrop to the chimney. The climbing roses add a touch of whimsy to the exterior. The rug, paintings, and mirror make it a special little abode for a special lady. I think Marie-Antoinette would have been fascinated and I'm wondering how she would have furnished it. Awww, we shall never know but we can have fun thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteYet another house i have to add to my I Love list. The roof turned out awesome, great job.
ReplyDeleteAgain, my favorite "French house"! He's so cute and cozy. The roof of one piece is very fluffy and neat. Thank you, Caroline!
ReplyDeletePreciosa,preciosa!!!! me encantan las ventanas y ese tejado es genial,otra maravilla conseguida!!!
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Вы делаете просто божественные работы!!!!я люблю смотреть на ваши дома))))) они выглядят как настоящие))))

ReplyDeleteI am *swooning* !!!
ReplyDeleteYour petite house perfectly captures the feel of that little hamlet! I know, because I have been there, and oooohed and ahhhhed over it all. You little doll house is the perfect rendition of it! Gorgeous! Every single bit of it! I am sure Antonia is totally over the moon about it.
Hugs,
Terri
p.s. Yes, that thatched roof looks fab, great find at Lowes!
Absolutely beautiful. One of the best I´ve seen. From Portugal.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful piece! Where did the windows come from or were they made by hand?
ReplyDeleteHi Becky! The windows are made by hand. The dividers are Popsicle sticks cut in thin strips.
ReplyDeletehugs♥
