Little White Cottage Dollhouse

I have settled on a new project! I was thinking of a few different houses and decided on this one:
 
It's a photo I found on Pinterest.  I love the simple and clean style of it.  Although, I feel like my little cottage should be light gray. We'll see!
So I took out my Primrose kit by Corona and got to work!
I took the side without any cutouts and drew out my plans for 3 windows and one front door. 

Then I took the original front piece and I cut the "window" the same size as the original "front door".  This will now become 2 floor to ceiling windows. 
And the other peaked piece with 1 window cutout will become our back support. I drew a 1" perimeter and will cut the middle out so you can access the interior yet still have a strong support for the roof.
For the other side(opposite our new 2 floor to ceiling windows), we are going to use the attic  floor.
 
To make my cuts, I'm using my new Dremel Trio Kit.   It does take a bit of practice to make straight lines. But if you go a bit off course you can sand your way back to a decent looking cut. So don't worry! This is a cottage after all and it really adds character to have little mistakes.
Off to make my cuts! More instructions tomorrow.

And I've launched my new site: www.cinderellamomentsrealestate.com
It will be a blog filled with interesting homes, tips and just overall pretty photos that have to do with houses. Maybe great inspiration for your dollhouses??  I put a little follower button on the sit. You are all more than welcome to join me there! It's a little lonely right now with 0 followers. LOL!  Again it's

Hugs all around!♥

    LOL!
    Coincidentally, I have two kits of Primrose to be built in these days: one to be attached to my own cottage, and the other to be sold (in Europe is very difficult to find kits of Corona Concept and I think that someone will find convenient to buy one of these small dollhouse)
    I thought I would not make big changes to the structure, so I'm really curious to see the developments of your work :-)
    Congrat for the new blog :-)
    Lovely hugs,
    Flora

    oh- this one looks fun- I look forward to seeing more. I really love the floor to ceiling windows! Congrats on the new blog- I'm off to go take a look :) I would love to hear more about how you like your Trio as you work along- I really wanted to get one and my hubby talked me out of it. I would love to know if they are really helpful with mini building :)
