The Lakehouse Custom Dollhouse
I am done with The Lakehouse dollhouse!
This house is 14 1/2" tall x 13 3/4" wide x 14 1/4" deep. I got the design from Kim Saulter's Instagram picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/9uj5Y6IjCW/I loved the quaint & adorable look of it! So I went to work cutting out my design.
I thought of it as a little cabin you would own on a lake.
There are 2 rooms: a living room and a bedroom.
I picked happy and bright colors for the interior.
For the picture above the mantel I printed out a Modigliani portrait. It has a very distinctive look and style that I thought would bring a little modern into the room.
In the entry I made a very thin profile armoire.
I used different wallpapers all around the room.
For the bedroom I kept the green wainscoting all around the room. But I used fabric above it on 2 walls.
There's a ledge/cubby hole above the front window.
The LED light switches for the lights and mantel "fire" are hidden in the chimney.
This house is available in my Etsy shop. I hope you enjoyed your visit! Thank you so much for taking a look. Have a beautiful day!

Es adorable! Mirándola, puedo sentir que estoy a la orilla de un lago... transmite serenidad... creo que hasta puedo escuchar el sonido del agua... Felicidades! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you make your little terra pots or do you buy them?
ReplyDeleteHi! :) I bought these little pots. They are for those fairy gardens. I bought them at a local shop but I've seen tons on Ebay. Just type in fairy garden clay pots.

Es preciosa Caroline, en ese espacio tan pequeño has conseguido crear un ambiente encantador.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta mucho.
It ALWAYS Amazes me at how well your tiny dwelling are laid out and how detailed they are both inside and out. Each cosy dwelling is Remarkable for the amount of feminine charm and personality that they exude.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the painted board ceiling, the fireplace and the chandeliers and I especially enjoy the way that you mix and match wall coverings and make them work! Such a Pleasure visiting here Caroline, your cabin by the lake is Adorable! :D

Your small Lakehouse is amazing. I really like the furniture and accessories.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is just too adorable! I can envision a tiny couple in there, sitting on the front porch after some fishing:) You never fail to amaze us with your talent!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just finishing a huge Greenleaf dollhouse for my nieces, it was my mom's but she never built it so she shipped it to my brother, it sat in his attic for about a decade and he brought it to me when they came in Dec. My hands are trashed from working on it but it's been so much fun! When it's done I'm starting a tiny one, The Madison by Greenleaf...you got me hooked!!!
I saw! I love it! I can't wait to see your shabby chic touches in there. And the Madison is fantastic to work with.
DeleteI'm so glad you're on the dollhouse bandwagon! It's so much fun to see your style.

Love the flowers on the chandelier and the Modigliani-type portrait over the mantle. So whimsical and pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect house for weekends. I love the blue of the door, and the tree on the side. Gorgeous colours inside.

I love your gorgeous lake cabin. The colours are so pretty. I love the wonderful chandeliers gorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteHugs Maria
Such a coy little space, it feels like a perfect getaway spot! Lovely lovely work Caroline!
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty...I want to live here!
ReplyDeleteThe lake cabin is perfect. I always enjoy the detail that you give your houses. For this one, I like the little boat on the porch. I can see it sea side on South Padre Island or at the edge of Lake Conroe, perhaps. Or better yet, near the shore of my husband's favorite mountain lake here in Colorado. Close to home. Oh, I could keep dreaming. And thanks again for visiting the Blue Farmhouse. I haven't done much work on it at all since before Christmas. I need to find wallpaper for a music room. And thank you for your comment on the little dresses. I started sewing as a child and sewed for my own daughters. Sewing little doll dresses is easy and fun--if one sews. So what's your next project? Can't wait to see.
ReplyDeletethis is adorable I would love to create one too goo job very cozy, sweet an much sweet details just beautiful!!!
ReplyDelete"Lake house" sounds very relaxing and is evocative of fun and romantic moments: you are successful, of course, to convey all this with your great job! Wow, you're magic! Love the colors :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing . I love your miniature works. Your houses are adorable, magical places. You are amazing miniaturist!!! Love this blog!!!!

Struth Caroline....your gorgeous lakehouse is not only beautiful but also totally BELIEVEABLE...so much so that l can almost see myself sitting on a deck chair out front with a wine and a rod in the water, (hopefully there's no fish cos l wouldn't know what to do with it if l caught it haha). Your attention to detail as always is stunning...l've been admiring the wee chandy's, the little tray on the bed, the lace covered chair and are they antlers hanging on the wall of the bedroom...amazing.Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to at least think about trying to create something awesome.
ReplyDeleteUna creaación adorable. Felicidades! un abrazo, Marisa
ReplyDeleteHello Caroline! :)

I love the colors and the touch of modernity! ;)

wow, such an amazing work! I'm following you on instagram now! Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a most beautiful house, both indoors and out. It has
ReplyDeleteyour style written all over it, which makes it very unique.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Drora
I would love to spend a weekend by the lake in this house! The chandeliers are especially beautiful. Wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazingly adorable! I would love to have a tiny lake cabin just like this.
ReplyDeleteI wondered - is there a problem with copyright in using the Modigliani picture? I try to use my own pictures or craft papers, but I also tear things out of books. Not sure if that's a problem when selling those items.
When can I move in? Looks quiet and cozy. Perfect place to spend a weekend. Hugs, LJ
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteThis house is so cute. Love the door. Did you make it yourself? Also I think the shingles on the front of the house add a quaint touch and the tree on the side is lovely.

Hi Amy! I did make the door on the Lakehouse. The hard part is hanging the door. I don't love hinges. I do like a pin through the top and bottom of a frame better. But making the door itself is a lot of fun.
