Shabby Streamside Dollhouse & The Little White Cottage Dollhouse

 All done with the New York Times project.  She's on her way to New York.

I found this adorable sheer fabric for the curtains and I wanted to share it with you.  I got it at Jo-Ann's.  It is cream in color.  Just perfect for a vintage look.  It has glittery stars and dots in it that is perfect dollhouse size.
Now, back with the Little White Cottage dollhouse!  When I left off, I had painted the exterior of the dollhouses cream/off white.  Then I painted the rocks on the cottage.

The rocks are on the back side of the house and all around as foundation.

These are the paint colors I used.   A good rule is 4 different shades of brown, white, black, and an off white(mine is a linen color).

When I apply the colors, I use at least 2 different ones.  Here I dipped my brush in the black and linen colors.  It doesn't matter which color combination you use.  Just as long as each rock is a little different.

I went all around the house even under the front porch.

Next, hooking up the battery operated lights from Evan designs http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/mi.html
For this little house I needed extra wire to be able to reach my hiding spot(the chimney).

 It's really easy. Black wire goes to black wire, red to red. That's it! I use the hair dryer to shrink the little protective sleeves that go over all the connections.

I'm not sure how the front porch light will look. I just popped a little bulb through a hole and will figure it out later.
Is anyone else having Blogger issues.  I can't upload pictures when I use Firefox. But it works on Google Chrome.  Just thought I'd pass this along.
