By the Bay- a Nantucket Retreat Commissioned Dollhouse

 My newly finished piece is a commission for Kee. It's a Nantucket style home. 1/12 scale.  

This house is 20" x 18 1/2" x 19 1/2" tall.
All the greenery and flowers are from Hobby Lobby. Check my 'resources' page. 




The path is sand you can find in the candle filler section at craft stores.  I use white glue on the path and sprinkle the sand over. Push down to make sure the sand makes contact with the glue and let dry. Then tap off the excess.










There are 2 switches hidden in the chimney. One for the lights and one for the fire. 
Inside had to exude that old vintage Nantucket style. So we laid shiplap every which way. It makes for a very cozy look even though it's an all white palette. 




The little entry light is a nautical nod.  It came from the jewellery section at Hobby Lobby. 



This is not my usual fireplace style. But once in place it looked quite fitting.  I can imagine Kee decorating it for Fall and Christmas!







This house is sold, but if you would like your own dollhouse commissioned contact me.  email: Cinderellamoments@yahoo.com or on Etsy www.cinderellamoments.etsy.com
Thanks for coming over! I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a wonderful day!

821 Yvonnderella Cottage 1:6 Scale Custom Dollhouse

 Something a bit different this time… a 1/6 playscape house. 

This is a commission for Yvonne and her new Blythe doll.


I made a special sign for the cottage's address.

The little chair turned out very sturdy. We wouldn't want a Blythe to injure herself. LOL!


Although there is no fireplace mantel, I had to add a chimney. This is always the best place to tuck away switches and batteries.  








The interior had to be beach cottage like. So everything is either white or whitewash for a very relaxed yet sophisticated look.






This was my first time making hangers. 



This house is a bigger scale.  It measures 24" front to back x 23 1/4" tall x 22" across.  
Thanks for the visit!
hugs,
