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)
Uncertainty ?
I halfway finished the tile in the bedroom. And I'm not in love with it. I left it over night and revisited it and I still don't like it. I feel like to like it I will need to add grout, but I don't think I want to do all of that work to possibly … Continue reading Uncertainty ?
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
Wallpaper #2
After wallpapering the hallway I tackled the kitchen. I'm glad I did the hallway first as the kitchen was bigger and needed more maneuvering with the paper. The pretty pineapple wallpaper I chose for the accent wall in the kitchen was JUST shy of fitting the entire wall. Which meant adding some of the wallpaper … Continue reading Wallpaper #2
