The Blank Canvas Dollhouse

I created this dollhouse when a couple people contacted me to make a house that was decorator ready. They said they didn't have the time or space to make it. So here is the blank canvas Dollhouse!

I like it just the way it is all white. I'd move in here! I used the Greenleaf "Orchid" kit.

It seem that not everyone enjoys instruction manuals as much as I do.

The roof has a very light wash of gray on it.

This would be so easy to turn into a shabby chic/beach cottage. I must restrain myself!!!

Dream Cottage Dollhouse

I've been working on the Dream Cottage Dollhouse from the Greenleaf Orchid kit.

 Here are some pics of how the construction progressed.

 This house will have a few pieces of furniture. I made this little bed with  a design made from hot glue. When it's painted it looks just like a carved bed.

I made the dollhouse bed  ruffled covers.

I have to finish the dormers with shingles and make some artwork for this house and it'll be all done!

1920s Cottage Dollhouse

I started my new dollhouse project.

My sweet blog friend Melody of Brown Gingham Creations always sends me the best cottage pictures. She sent me the most charming 1920s cottage.

I have to try to capture this incredible little home's sweetness.

I chose to use the Sugarplum dollhouse kit to try this house.

I started putting it together.

And I painted the interior walls a gray/blue color.

I scored the floor with a sharp knife.

I painted the dollhouse floor with a watered down medium brown.

Then I added a watered down black paint to age the floor.

I made 2 fireplaces. The inside of the fireplaces is carved plaster.

The attic has wallpaper and the same blue paint as downstairs. I Painted that floor white and aged it. It is also scored like the downstairs floor.
