DIY Couch

I am really proud of my first couch creation. Its a little rough and I'm sure the next time I attempt a couch itll be better but I'm still really happy about this first one. To start off I found these crafting blocks at the dollar tree. At the time I honestly had no idea … Continue reading DIY Couch →

Dining Room! (Accent Wall & Flooring)

The accent wall was fairly simple to complete. I painted the wall the color that I wanted it - in this case its orange. For the board and baton accent I also painted the wooden sticks the same color then measured them/cut them to fit. Since this house is 1:24 scale I didn't think that … Continue reading Dining Room!

DIY Kitchen

I decided for this build to make as much of the furniture as I could. I want to personalize this house as much as possible. The furniture in the kitchen is all made out of unfinished balsa wood. It was 2mm which made it very easy to cut with a box cutter. Below are the … Continue reading DIY Kitchen →

Weekend Work

I started construction of the Fairfield over the weekend. I'm taking my time with it since its a smaller scale. Smaller scale means less room to work with when decorating. Saturday and Sunday consisted of a lot of sanding. I want the walls to be as smooth as possible before adding paint. The first thing … Continue reading Weekend Work →

Arrival of the Fairfield

In my bedroom I have a little reading nook. In preparation for the arrival of the Fairfield I transformed it into a craft nook. Definitely an upgrade from working on my dollhouses on the floor. Unexpectedly my dollhouse ended up arriving yesterday! Which meant I was able to start working on it last night. Night … Continue reading Arrival of the Fairfield →

The Fairfield

I have picked my next dollhouse to complete - the Fairfield. This dollhouse is a 1/2 scale (1:24) so it will be smaller than the last two doll houses. It is a greenfield like the last two. I've enjoyed how easy it has been to put together greenfield dollhouses so I might as well do … Continue reading The Fairfield →

Flooring!

I think that flooring has to be my favorite part of dollhouse building. It is so intricate and fun to do! This flooring project meant another trip to Lowes! I got one tile at Lowes for between 60 cents and $1.50 each. The black and white tiles will be for the kitchen, the wooden tile … Continue reading Flooring! →

Interior Paint!

This was the paint palette I decided would be for the interior of the house! I wanted something soft and earthy. I found this palette on a search on pinterest. Picking a palette meant a trip to Lowes for paint! Once again I got sample sized paints for about $3 each. The house has 4 … Continue reading Interior Paint! →

Porch

The porch was fun to put up. I painted all the details in white to be a stark contrast to the black porch base and the grey house. It took about 3-4 coats of the white paint for the wood to really look white. They were relatively sturdy and with the wood glue only a … Continue reading Porch →
