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 →

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! →

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. →

Furniture!

I've been focused so much on furniture lately and have not actually taken the time to upload any pictures to the blog on the furniture. Did I mention that furniture is expensive?? Furnishing a 6 room house takes time because - you know - budgeting. But here are some room updates (also on the instagram … Continue reading Furniture! →

Redo on the Bedroom

So I decided to take out the tile from the bedroom. Here's how it looked before: I found a beautiful grey wood tile at Home Depot that I thought would be perfect. And ultimately was. It was darker than the original but also had the wood grain look that I found more ascetically pleasing that … Continue reading Redo on the Bedroom →

Bathrooooom

I purchased a tile from Lowes for the bathroom which I cut to fit into the room. It wasn't long enough which meant some finagling. Well, I did this and I ended up not liking it and decided to ultimately remove it and start over. Seeming to become a theme as I continue to go … Continue reading Bathrooooom →

Flooring Prep #2 (Hallway & Living Room)

For the Living Room and Hallway flooring I'm using the tile that looks the most like real wood. Like the last prep I used a box cutter to make cuts in the vinyl tile and broke them to create planks. I've found the box cutter to be much better at cutting the vinyl tile than … Continue reading Flooring Prep #2 (Hallway & Living Room) →

Flooring Prep

Now that the walls of the house are complete, time to think about flooring! It took me about 2 hours to prep the flooring for the bedroom. I'm going to start laying the tile however I already know I'm going to need to revisit Lowes for another long tile. I started with the one long … Continue reading Flooring Prep →
