I finished Cinderella's Cottage, another custom dollhouse.
This time I didn't use the loose coconut fibers, I used the pot lining coconut fiber mat. It was much cleaner to work with!
The cream wall is plaster. I aged it with a thinned down black and brown mix of paint.
The turret is fake and just for show. I will need a bigger tube form if I want to make real windows or doors in the turret. It is covered with concrete to give a real rock texture. I painted the fake windows black so they look like they are real.
There are plenty of pumpkins for Cinderella.
And yes there's plenty of moss too. You all know how much I love using moss. LOL!
Here is one side. I put shutters and fake timber. This timber is just the plaster carved as planks of lumber. I also added a little birdhouse I had made a long time ago for another project. It's just made with left over bits of dollhouse.
And the other side.
This is not a working chandelier. It's just to look pretty.
The bed is big, but that's how my own bed is. So I figured it would work in this dollhouse too.
The attic floor is gray. The ceiling is white washed. All the curtains are pink lace.
The exposed slat wall with the plaster oozing between the slats.
I think this is a great little hideout for Cinderella!
Sold and going home to Cheryl. Thanks Cheryl!

Cinderella's Fairytale Cottage Custom Dollhouse
I finished the "tin" tiles for the ceiling. The best way to add the color is with your finger I've found. I used silver for the tin showing through and a golden brown for the rust effect.
And there it is in place. The walls are a blush of pink. It is a very pale effect. I did the fireplace mantle in gray. and the wood floors cream.
The attic floor is gray, the walls are cream and the attic ceiling is white-washed.
I did the turret concrete and the plaster walls. I also worked on the roof edge.

Cinderella's Fairytale Cottage Dollhouse
I finally started on the Cinderella's cottage dollhouse!
Here's the front. The turret will just be for show on this house. The cardboard tube I used for this turret is a little too small for the door(that's how I intended to use it). So I will just create a faux turret for looks only not functional.
In the attic I tried making an exposed slat plaster wall. Those are just Popsicle sticks I split and smooched into the plaster so it would ooze out all around.
This is downstairs with one coat of plaster. I also made this little fireplace with scrap wood.
I have painted 2 coats of cream color so far. I think the 3rd coat will have a soft pink tint.
This will be the downstairs ceiling. It's my special "tin" tile Victorian ceiling made by following a pattern on cardboard with hot glue. The result is a 3d tin like tile. These just need some silver for tin and rust accents.
