Let's continue building the custom dollhouse with this part 2 tutorial post. Since the last step, I added a front wall to the bump out section in the front of the house. It has 2 long narrow windows.

I just finished a commission for Linda. It's a half scale custom dollhouse English style. It has an oval base. And I left room for Linda to put her potting shed and garden set. The little fairy door inside the dollhouse. The stone chimney has flowering vines. The interior is well aged and cozy. This is the kitchen. The old fireplace is the space for Linda's Aga stove. Living room. The rose wallpapered bedroom. And a bathroom. Thanks Linda for the project! Linda will send pictures once she's all done decorating Miss Read's Cottage. And I'll share them with all of you. She's already made some purchases that are out of this world cute! Thanks for stopping by!
Dollhouses that are more like pieces of art than a child's play home.

Pendant les vacances de la Toussaint en faisant le ménage dans la maisonnette de Mamy matou . Je me suis dit , il faut que tu fasses quelque chose pour éviter toute cette poussière à l'intérieur . Alors j'ai décidé de fermer totalement la maison . Les portes arrières sont en carton et morceaux de bois avec des charnières. Comme cela , plus de problèmes de poussière , en plus cela m'a permis d'agrandir un peu la pièce en fixant des éléments au portes. de faire quelques accessoires en plus , comme boite à sel et allumettes ,gants. J'ai aussi mis des petits tableaux que j'avais peints à l'acrylique. Fixé l'étagère au mur comme cela on peut saisir les petits livres qui s'ouvrent J'ai refait une nouvelle chaise sur laquelle un des matous s'est installé. Cela m'a fait plaisir de "rejouer" avec cette maisonnette . A + Catherine

Get inspired with these DIY dollhouse ideas for your front porch. Elevate your space with charming miniature decor that's easy to create.
This is Landhardt House finished. This dollhouse is 22 3/4" across x 15 1/2" deep x 19 1/2" tall. The colours of the exterior are cream, taupe, white and pink for the flowers. This was a special request birdhouse. I did not glue it down because of shipping. The plaster has exposed bricks underneath showing through in certain spots. I love the way the roof looks so complex. It is a challenge getting all those angles to line up! All the colours inside are very neutral. There are walls with just plaster in case the new owner wants to add wallpaper. This is the living room with a working mantel. It's 10 3/4" x 7 1/4". This addition is 3 3/4" x 8 1/4". The entry is 5 1/2" x 4 1/8". The kitchen is 5 1/" x 10". It has the long wall for kitchen appliances. The side addition here is 10 1/4" x 4". This nook is 5 7/8" x 4 1/2". The upstairs is 13 1/2" wide. The room on the left is 5 1/2" x 10 1/2". The longer room is 14 3/4" x 5 3/4". Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this latest commission. hugs,
Amazing little cottage. The house is designed in the style of a French hut. Beautiful house with a small veranda and a cozy wooden and stones bench. The interior has also been deliberately antiqued to preserve the integrity of the overall design. Downstairs there is a kitchen and a living room. We have a cozy bedroom and bathroom upstairs. I decided to add wooden floors that would bring much-needed warmth to this small space, the walls are also lined with wooden slats painted with white water-based paint and wallpaper. A beautiful fireplace with little angels gives the cottage a warm atmosphere. Blinds and curtains on the windows to match the whole set. The cottage is equipped with light points in the bedroom, kitchen, and living room. All lights are battery-operated. The house is made to order, some details may differ from the picture. I enjoyed every moment I spent working on this project, I felt like a real architect and builder. I hope that this house will make the future owner as happy as I do during his work Made of MDF, plywood, wood, fabric.

If you follow me on Instagram you will already know that I picked up the most amazing house on FB Marketplace a couple of days ago. The original owner did such an incredible job building it 20+ years ago and although I want to update it in my style, I also want to keep much of the house’s original b
