Dollhouse Progress Paused For A While
Just in case anybody out there reads my blog, I wanted to let you know why I haven’t posted any updates on my doll house progress lately. Because it’s buried in boxes and eBay inventory. See what I mean? Here’s the story. At the beginning of 2013 my husband and I became empty-nesters. It was […]
Finished Blythes Bedroom In The Big Dollhouse Today
Progress in the large dollhouse today. I completed Blythe’s room. Except for the window frames and treatments. Those are going to be a dollhouse wide project eventually. And if I find a rug that looks nice I will add it. In keeping with the semi-Gothic style, I chose black and purple for the palette. The […]
I Created My Own Lalaloopsy Mini Doll House
It was so much fun. I’m not really that crafty but this was so easy. Just used the Lalaloopsy mini doll furniture and a few pieces from other doll sets that I had. And lots of scrapbook paper, craft paint, buttons, and stickers. You can see the Lalaloopsy girls love it. They have already moved […]
Update On The Main Kitchen Dollhouse Room
Just a quick few photos of the kitchen in the large dollhouse. It’s finally complete – almost. Sophie Liv is enjoying a beverage after inspecting the workmanship. I used my appliance and cabinets from the vintage Sindy doll collection along the back wall. The floor is a 1:12 scale sheet but I think it […]
Setting Up Blythes Bedroom
I’ve decided to go ahead and set up some of the dollhouse rooms despite the walls and floors being unfinished. It’s taking a really long time to get them done due to lack of funds and time. It’s a little like remodeling your house, you don’t realize what’s underneath or involved until you get into […]
Smoothing Out The Dollhouse Kitchen Walls
The inside of the exterior walls are in an unfinished state. It looks like the builder put sheet rock in but then never finished it up. They are quite rough and uneven so I knew I needed to do something before putting up wallpaper. Here is a picture of the kitchen wall I’m starting with […]
Remodeling My Doll House Kitchen
It’s taken me a while but I think I’ve gathered most of the appliances and materials to start working on the dollhouse kitchen remodel. No I still need the flooring. Here’s a photo of what I’ve got. Everything is just placed in the room loosely. I’ll install them after I finish the walls, ceiling, and […]
The Dollhouse Exterior Is Finished – Now Onto The Interior Rooms – The Fun Stuff
Finally! It took me a while. I had to keep sanding and re-painting the area where the big patio door was. And above that part it looked like someone too a bunch of glue or bondo or something and gooped it on. So that had to be sanded too. I’m not really finished though. I’m […]
More Dollhouse Painting Progress
Just a progress update on the exterior painting. The shutters are gone, my grandson helping paint, and a side view. Slow progress. He’s thinking about using some of the rooms for action figures. Hmmm…….not sure about that. Then my good sport hubby cut a section to fill in the wall where the porch was. The […]
Dollhouse Paint And Exterior Trim Choices
Someone should have had a camera handy and filmed me getting the huge house out of the SUV. But then if someone else was around I would have asked them to help me, not take pictures. It was all me. I unloaded the heavy beast and scooted it all the way through the house to […]
This Old Dollhouse
Dear Diary, Today my dollhouse came home with me. I found the house on Craig’s List in a town about 80 miles from me. I knew right away it was the perfect dollhouse. It’s huge. Over 5 feet tall. With 4 floors. I had to borrow an SUV to haul the thing home. It’s a […]
