Working on a dollhouse for my Boyfriend's daughter's 3rd Bday. I started with a wooden blank house (purchased from Michaels) and have painted the outside and wallpapered the inside.
This is the bookshelf inside the attic. The girls (Mila soon to be 3, and Nadia 5 1/2) love to be told stories and read to, so this is an important addition to the dollhouse.
I wanted the house to have a whimsical feel, so the colors are very little girlish and the painting is loose. The sides of the house are painted like brick, the front has ivy with flowers, and the roof is scalloped like singles, but all pink
I chose a paper for the inside that is also loosely painted and has soft colors.
Mila requested cupcakes for her birthday, so the kitchen is set with miniature cupcakes to celebrate.
I've used furniture from a dollhouse I had when I was a kid. Good dollhouse people are hard to find (they are all blonde) so this is one I had, and I'm sculpting the others from this weird soft modeling clay made by crayola. Its white, very light and feels like you're sculpting with Divinity candy.
I'll post some pics of the people once they are dry and painted. I think she'll like it!

Looks so good! I'm so jealous, I want one!
I love the cupcakes on the table.
Making the dollhouse was pretty fun. Now I just have to wait for the people I made to dry and I can paint them...
Courtney! The dollhouse is adorable! This would be a great class for The Workshop as well :)
