Cinderella moments

I've finished furnishing Swan Ridge for Barbara. This house is covered in dried flowers and real greenery. No plastic. I found the chairs and tables at Hobby Lobby.They are part of a set with a bench. So I bought 2 sets to have 2 chairs. I love bunting. I think it makes any house look so festive and romantic. The 2 windows are the type that slide open. This little mailbox was the last piece I made for the house. The porch was just missing something. You can see a tutorial for the mailbox…

A new design! This is La Maison de la Marquise. It's a custom dollhouse I made as a commission. This dollhouse is 22" across x 15 1/4" deep x 21" tall. The exterior is mostly plaster. This will be a kitchen area with French doors. Downstairs is 20 3/4" across x 8 1/2" tall. I used pre cut pieces of wood to make the entry tile. Here is the kitchen space. I put the window high enough so a sink could fit under. Upstairs had to have a separating wall. It did make the 2 rooms tiny. But it still…

And now Whispering Brook Cottage dollhouse with some character added! I tried to photograph the aqua house and lavender door. But it does not really show up well. The aqua looks more like a light green on the photos. The house is 18 1/2" tall x 17" across x 18" deep. There is just a touch more blue in the green that does not really show up in the pictures. The aging is done with brown ink pads. You can use hard bristle brushes to get into tiny space. The medallion above the window is by…

I'm back after a few absent weeks. First, I went to the beach for a vacation. Then I took a couple of weeks to come up and build a new design. This is Heritage House. It's a smaller version of "Somewhere in France." This custom dollhouse is 23 3/4" tall x 18" deep x 19 1/2"across. The lights and fireplace mantle have battery operated light. The outside walls are plaster. Inside is very open. There are 3 flickering bulbs in the mantle. I hope you enjoyed your visit! Thanks for coming over…

I called this newest dollhouse "In Tatters". It's another shabby chic style. This one has a little terrace to sip your morning coffee. I love the French style number above the door. They are Tim Holtz in the scrapbook area. http://www.michaels.com/tim-holtz-idea-ology-mini-plaquettes/10514419.html I added roses and leaves on the door. Paint over them with a few coats of paint and it looks like wood carvings. I used roses by Tim Holz. I usually make my own but wanted to try these out. It…
