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
A Bad Blogger
Well its safe to say that 2020 totally derailed me. After my last post I ended up going on vacation and when I returned the entire world stopped. I am a behavioral health therapist so as an "essential worker" I may or not have become a bit lost in the motions. (also became insanely obsessed … Continue reading A Bad Blogger
Painting
I decided that before I put up the porch that I would paint the exterior of the house. Logic: it's easier. Putting up the porch first would mean when its time to paint having to manurer around the porch and hoping my paint brush: 1. fits and 2. doesn't accidentally paint something that it shouldn't. … Continue reading Painting
Roof
The roof on this house was a bit complicated to construct to say the least. The main portion was split into two. Which when constructing I don't actually think was necessary. Putting up the main part consisted of glueing the left half to the left wall and glueing the right half to the right wall. … Continue reading Roof
Construction Day 2
A simpler and easier day in the construction process. Consisted of glueing the plastic window sheet into their correct spots on the walls that I worked on yesterday. The front door is also completed. I never actually finished the front door on my willow dollhouse so I'm glad this was completed at the beginning this … Continue reading Construction Day 2
Construction Day 1!
Felt so good to be starting a new build. Day one was completed in about 2 hours time. It consisted mainly of finding the pieces I needed (which took a big longer than I thought it would). Greenleaf instructions continue to be a bit confusing for this build as well as the last. They're simplistic … Continue reading Construction Day 1!
A New Year, A New Dollhouse.
It's been a while since I last made a blog post and also a while since I've done any dollhouse work. I've been thinking for a while what I would like my next build to be, a long while clearly. I finally decided on the Arthur dollhouse. Its much smaller than my first build so … Continue reading A New Year, A New Dollhouse.
