The Artist's Cottage Dollhouse

I got the artist's cottage dollhouse done.

The  rose paintings were very easy to do. The potted flowers are all fabric I dyed and cut into a 5 petal shapes.
The things on the table are all glued down. I didn't want anything to get lost.










 The curtains are a very light pink tint cotton. They have cream bows.

I listed this dollhouse in my Etsy shop. And I'm ready for the next idea to come!

The Artist's Cottage Dollhouse



I worked on the artist's cottage dollhouse. I made a simple little birdhouse out of left over wood.












 This is the inside so far. I started painting the empty frames and canvas that will be on the floor(like an artist would have them).


 I have little pots ready for flowers and a little table.
 I added a little flower box to the front.

My New Project: The Artist's Cottage

I'm doing a new dollhouse.  This one is a little artist's cottage.
A little forgotten house where an artist would love to paint. A little run down shed with a shabby chic and romantic interior.
 The exterior is almost all done. I can't wait to share more with you!

Back on the Market! Kotton Kandy Dollhouse New Orleans Shabby


The Kotton Kandy New Orleans Shabby Chic dollhouse is for sale again! Just like a real house, the sale fell through!! After some thought, Deborah decided she didn't know how her doll would look in the dollhouse. I'm not a doll owner myself, so I told her if she had doubts she should probably restrain from this purchase. She's not familiar with the 12" scale. Her doll is almost 6" tall. Anyone out there know if this is the right size for a 12 inch scale?

The Kotton Kandy Kit Dollhouse: New Orleans Shabby Chic Finished


I finished the Kotton Kandy New Orleans Shabby Chic dollhouse. I must say this one was the easiest one I've done yet. The kit by Melissa and Doug is very easy to put together and doesn't have too many parts. Although it's more expensive, it might be worth it if this is your first dollhouse. I did another shabby chic dollhouse with it. I can't help it! I must have shabby chic blood running through my veins!
The roof is dollhouse pine shingles. I made a water down mix of black and lots of cream paint. Mixed it a very little bit. And bathed the shingles in. Let them air fry and you get these terrific shades of gray,cream, dark gray.
This room needed a pink crystal chandelier. It is not a working one. Just one to look pretty.
The downstairs one is also just for show and doesn't light up. I thought I would use a battery operated one but I didn't want any cords. So I used a nonworking chandelier.
I made this chandelier with wire I curled with pliers, painted all white with handmade roses.
This pink one is the same process except I used pink glass beads on the wires.
I made bunting for the house warming party. It's hand dyed pink and tea stained cotton on a twine string with pink buttons.
