Another little cottage from my current series of smaller dollhouse. This one is called Rue du Petit Bois Cottage. This is an old world style cottage with the plaster and timber walls. The roof is coconut mats. Easy to cut and no massive mess like coconut fibers. All the wood is finished with a brown/grey watered down paint. This makes a wash of color as oppose to an opaque paint finish. The wood grain comes through and it gives a very old look. All the trim is done with Popsicle sticks. The…

I found the most amazing vintage doll house...caster wheels and all! Today, I am starting a new series on how to make an old doll house new.

The Dublin is an Irish cottage. Sized at 24'' x 14'', this two room cottage has a full loft for sleeping. The front wall is extra thick, so the wooden window and door frames are set back 3/8'' from the stucco front. The corners are rounded from the years of weathering and many coats of stucco and whitewash. Our 1" scale dollhouses are constructed out of 3/8" fiberboard for the walls and 3/8" birch plywood for the floors. We carry thatch for the roofing!

Isn't this dollhouse cute? I like all the do-it-yourself ideas and the peg wooden dolls. Has anybody seen the booklet that seems to have been offered about the Doll's House?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my latest little house I'm calling the White Cottage which I completed in about 5 days and over 30 hours of work. Its made out of heavy duty cardboard and I was inspired again when I should be taking a break from creating, but once again I thought I cant sit still I have to create something. Plus a couple weeks before I tried my hand at making some wing back chairs. I was inspired by a white wing back chair that is pictured below. So I made a rough pattern…

In the midst of our own farmhouse restoration, there has been another much smaller farmhouse restoration going on in the nursery. This week I wanted to give you a tour of the girls’ dollhouse…
