Swan Shabby Chic Dollhouse

The "Swan Shabby Chic Cottage" Dollhouse is ready for it's new owner,Barbara.

 This is the same house I wrote the how to book on. But I added a couple of inches. The  original is 15 1/4" and this one is 18 1/2" tall.

 I made  the screen door out of  2 pieces of 1/16" bass. And used real screen material in between.

 In this version I also decided to add a tiny chimney to hide all the batteries and switches.

 Barbara and her daughter chose the pink swan wallpaper I had once used in a house called Swan Lake House.  It's a scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby.

 All the "tin"tiles are made using my hot glue technique.

 The loft is the reason  I made the house taller. Barbara ordered a bed to go here. In the original "My Shabby Streamside Studio" by Sandy Foster, there was just space enough for a mattress up here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing this little house again.  It's a very sweet project for sure.
Next up a 1/6 scale adobe style Blythe house. Now this will be totally different for us!

Shabby Chic Dollhouse - a commission

I have not done the Shabby Cic dollhouse in a couple of years.

I did make this house a bit taller to accommodate a bed upstairs.

This interior will have just a touch of pink in the swan wallpaper.

I already added the curtains upstairs while the roof was half off.

hugs,

A New Year!

Happy New Year to all my loyal readers!

2019 will be fantastic! Full of new projects and brilliant good fortunes for everyone. Enjoy the festivities.
Have a magical, whimsical year!
lots of hugs,

Merry Christmas!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope you all will have a wonderful holiday filled with lots of love.

Chestnut Hill Cottage Custom Dollhouse

My last project of 2018! This is Chestnut Hill Cottage. 

It definitely has a light feel, fresh and airy but vintage too.

 This is the entry/living area. As soon as I put the bird wallpaper on I knew it was right. I love the look with the mantel and the beadboard near the door. 

Working mantel to keep the inhabitants warm. All the links for lights and products I use are listed on my resources page.

 This little rounded window space would be perfect for a cozy chair or a round table.

 A ship-lap wall is very necessary in a cottage!

 This wallpaper is cottage yet modern. I get wallpaper from Pinterest.

This is a fabric/burlap in cream on the wall.

I always hide the light components in the chimney. 
This house is in my Etsy shop if you are interested. https://www.etsy.com/cinderellamoments/listing/652690712/chestnut-hill-cottage-custom-dollhouse?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1544546365388

I hope everyone is having lots of fun getting ready for Christmas!  Thanks so much for the visit.
hugs,
