I finished Grey Manor dollhouse. This 1/12 scale house is 21 3/4" tall x 14 1/2" across x 13 1/2" deep. It's a custom dollhouse made entirely from scratch.
There are 3 battery operated lights with the switch inside the chimney. There's a porch light and 2 crystal chandeliers.
The exterior is covered with concrete. You can find the links to products I use by clicking the 'resources' tab up top.
The color is an aged burnt butter.
This dormer window can open in or out.
For this interior, I wanted a very sparse yet vintage feel - an Aidan Gray style. It's a minimalist look but still super romantic. I used a very light color palette with washed out wood colors.
I think this is the first time I've done diagonal wood floors. The downstairs wall a butter colored. I used aqua seed beads in the chandelier.
I had this little piece of furniture in my workshop forever. I could never find space for it in any houses. It fits under the stairs here.
The stairs are painted gray and the top of the steps and spindles have a wash to make it look like weathered wood. The wash is brown paint and a dash of black paint watered down until it's thin enough.
The upstairs has white walls. Again a very simple look for this bedroom yet very feminine.
This little bed was the one in my upholstered bed tutorial. The little bench will be in an upcoming tutorial.
I loved having you over at Grey Manor. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Till next time!

Oh gosh, I stare and file away ideas for the future. Your washed out wood pieces are dynamite; I also love the diagonal floors!
ReplyDeleteThis is your best work. I love pink, but the lack of pink in this house takes it to a new level. I love the minimalist look. I find it very elegant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely cottage-house! I want to move in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Caroline! I really like the colours and atmosphere in this house. Hugs, piikko

ReplyDeleteHi Caroline! This cottage feels like a Retreat inside! I feel a real sense of calm and quiet as I've enjoyed this interior.
ReplyDeleteThe little dormer on the second floor is Wonderful and I also like the added bit of color to the light fixtures, especially the one on the first floor. The aqua color really gives an exciting spark in such a soothing environment, Beautiful Work! :))
