Sunny Side Up Custom Dollhouse

Sunny Side Up Dollhouse is ready!  It's another custom start to finish. It just starts with a drawing on paper. Then I decide what size it will be and I'm off!
This idea came from a happy looking cottage I saw on Pinterest. I gather ideas to inspire the build. You can take a look at my board:
https://www.pinterest.com/cinderellammt/sunny-side-up/
This is how my interpretation came out. This house is 19 1/2" tall x 20" across x 16 3/4" deep.   
The front steps and chimney are covered with concrete.
The cracking of the paint is done by applying glue, letting it dry and applying the paint.





The tutorial for the mailbox is on my tutorials page.





The door's  stained glass look is done with a product from Hobby Lobby called Gallery Glass. It's basically 'liquidy' white glue.  http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Glass-Crafting/Paints-Finishes/Crystal-Clear-Gallery-Glass-Window-Color/p/20732
This is lots of fun to do. The result looks amazing. I did both sides of the "glass" to get the ultimate stained glass look. Give it a try- you will love it!
As always, my battery and switch are hidden in the chimney.
I stayed very busy making all the furniture and accessories.

The entry bench is a very simple Prim design I made out of 1/16" bass. This is what I use to make most of the furniture.











My first bunny made out of clay. I used the flocking method I saw on Pinterest of cutting up yarn and gluing it on the body. 



I hope you enjoyed the visit!  This house is available in my Etsy shop. I'm already working on the next house.  See you soon.
P.S.  For those of you who don't think you could ever make a dollhouse like this- just try it! I work with my sister on these houses. When she saw the design I believe she called me "CRAZY".  She was worried about that little front porch. Well we did it. You can do anything! Go for it!!!

  10. Hi Caroline!
    The raised front porch with the brick covered stoop is Really Lovely and probably my favorite feature of this Charming little cottage!
    I also love the leaded glass pane in the front door and your staircase dividing the main floor is Superb!
    You have made another Wonderfully atmospheric tiny home, and I think that " Sunny Side Up" is the perfect name for it! :D

  16. That's amazing and beautiful little house. Great work Caroline! How long does it usually take to create a house like that? Do you build it all day long? I only wish I could someday be as expert as you are creating these lovely houses, items and images. If you write a book, I'll buy it! <3

    1. It takes a month to do the house and the furnishings. I don't work on it all day. Just a few hours. You can totally do this. I started not even knowing what 1/12 scale was. LOL! I've written a few books. You can buy paper copies by clicking the links on the right side of the blog (the publisher is called Blurb)or you can get PDF copies in my etsy shop: cinderellamoments.etsy.com
      hugs♥,
      Caroline

  21. Hi Caroline,
    Well, here is to another darling and charming masterpiece. It is just so darn
    cute, I want to move in..........I need to find that guy who shrunk his kids. lol
    So how is life treating you these days?? We just came back from visiting my
    daughter and we are still basking in the glow of it all.....
    So much for that tho, as I just found out I have to go with my sister-in-law to have her sweet doggie put down.....she has bone cancer and she is a big dog and they found out about a month or so ago.....so she has had several
    bad days and it is just time, especially because she is so big.
    I am puddling up just thinking about it, since we had to have our Molly
    put down last Fall..........but gotta do what ya gotta do, cause we sure
    don't want her to suffer a lot. It will be really hard for Susan as her
    pets are her babies since she doesn't have children.......

    You take care and if you read this right away, pray for us.
    Thanks sweet friend,
    Love and Blessings, Nellie
