Nonesuch House--named for one of Henry VIII's palaces--was our first foray into the tudor world. For you observant types, we started it at our old house, and completed it at our new house (hence the change in background). Although the real Nonesuch House is much grander in scale, we were inspired by its woodwork for our smaller version. Or, homage, really. With only three rooms, Nonesuch House is quite small. Nonesuch House is unique (for us) for another reason: it's entirely made out of recycled materials, including plastic. Normally, our houses are made out of organic materials--wood, stone, brick, etc--but a miniaturist friend of mine convinced me to try plastic sheets. Nonesuch House's shell, which is available from Earth and Tree Miniatures, is MDF. It started out life as the Keene. The sheets I used are (so I'm told) made from recycled plastic, and available from Precision Products. You can see a tutorial on plastic sheet "brick making" here. Nonesuch House's front porch is based on a porch in a house in Leicester, UK. Real tudor houses often featured either fountains, or more modest contrivances like buckets, in which visitors could wash their hands before entering. Contrary to popular belief, our medieval and tudor ancestors were comparatively cleanly--especially for people living in a time where the concept of germs was considered heretical. They did the best they could. The front door uses hardware from Olde Mountain Miniatures. I'm actually not 100% happy with the quality of the hardware--it bends and distorts very easily--but this is one area where there's not a whole lot available. Very few companies make miniature hardware. The fireplaces are electrified--against my better judgment, honestly. The downstairs! The upstairs! This is my attempt at an historically accurate window. The "cobblestones" forming the back wall of the fireplace are also made from plastic sheets. The wood we used is 100% recycled. In our case, it's scrap wood from other projects, as well as wood from other sources that were, for one reason or another, being cannibalized. A detail of the plaster pargeting. A detail of the fireplace, through the front window. The house is rather long and narrow, so it lives on top of a bookshelf. The "slate" roof is also made from plastic sheets. A view of the whole dollhouse. Nonesuch House, viewed from the side. Nonesuch House, viewed from the other side. A detail of the upstairs window. A detail of the fountain. A detail of the chimney. One view of the attic. Another view of the attic. One thing I don't like about most dollhouse designs is, they leave the back of the dollhouse blank. Here, I tried to rectify this, and make it more interesting. Real houses aren't blank! The real Nonesuch House features extensive pargeting and half timbering. A close-up of the pargeting. Yet another view of the back. Yet another view of the side. Something else that's very difficult to find is decent dollhouse fountains. Nonesuch House hanging out on our dining room table. I haven't figured out a suitably out of the way spot for Nonesuch House to take up permanent residence. Perhaps we should sell it?
Este es el primer boceto que realicé. El resultado final es muy parecido. Planta baja con muro de piedra para lo que será la cocina y enfoscado de yeso para el resto.

A Tudor Dolls House I thought I must share with you this wonderful resource if you are making a Tudor dolls house and wondering what to put in it to give that authentic feel. In 1601, John and Jane Daniells and their family were living in Rectory House in Hackney in England. Unfortunately they fell foul of the law and their home and possessions were confiscated. Sad for them but for us, a fantastic look into their lives as a comprehensive inventory of their house contents in now available on-line. You can go on on a virtual tour of their house, peruse the picture gallery and read the room-by-room list of their possessions, furnishings and even their clothing. For example (and I've kept the original spelling) in a trunk in Mr Daniell's chamber there were: one nightcap wrought with black silke and gould and a purse imbrodered with goulde one ould riding hood one shirte one vellett Cappe one peire of Cloath rounded of a Cloake 5 fallinge bandes one girdle a paire of hangers of green silke and gould and a string of gould to hang his dagger on one Ruffle with purled lace twoe paire of Boothose one Flannell Wascote wrought with red Cruelle twoe Dublettes of blacke stuffe one dammaske Cloake with Sleeves garded with vellett one paire of Fuger sattyn hose payned with Velvett one peire of blewe cloth twoe peire of Tawnye vellett; old one greene quilted Cappe the Trunke wherin these goodes remayne Does that make you want to whip out your needle and thread and stitch something for a trunk in your Tudor dolls house? I hope you have an interesting time exploring this website about the Daniells.

Cockrell Hall Blog: I have been enthralled with all things miniature since I received a beautiful Federal style dollhouse for my 10th Christmas when we lived in Alabama. I had collected many miniature treasures when traveling with my family over the years and had no place to put them (my collection had outgrown my other house). I've stuck with the hobby for almost 40 years. I found myself wanting a new house, (Tudor style my favorite architectural era!) but had no clue where to find one. I started researching Tudor dollhouses on the Internet and came across an article about a British builder/craftsman who specialized in fashioning absolutely stunning replicas of Tudor-style mini houses. I contacted Kevin Jackson in the U.K. and also visited his website and the fun started there! I ordered a Canterbury house with modifications and Kevin began construction on 'Cockrell Hall' on October 1st 2011. This has been a fun three months of choosing exactly how my new house will look. Kevin has included me in virtually every major decision from placement of doors, trimwork, style of fireplaces, colors, and much more! It's been so much fun! He's provided me with with photos of every step of the build from the ground up. My house will have 7 rooms including a great hall that we decided upon kind of late in the process and a market room on the ground floor. The great hall features a beautiful vaulted ceiling, two chandeliers and a handmade stone faced fireplace. Kevin's houses all have electric lighting and the option of 'lighted fireplaces' which mine will have. Cockrell Hall will also have a remote control for the lighting where I can turn each room and floor and fireplace on and off and with a dimmer too! My house is now finished and Kevin is building the crate today for the transport to America. I live in Arkansas so it will be a long journey for a tiny house. I can't wait to fill it with all of my minis! I can't wait until it arrives!
