Dollhouse Sneak-peak!

When I was younger, maybe elementary school age, my parents bought me a dollhouse. It came in pieces and my Dad and Grandpa both said they would help me build it. Fast forward several years to one summer day on college break. I rediscovered the unconstructed dollhouse in the basement! It became my life goal to build the dollhouse. (Yes. My life goal. Maybe it would sound better if I said one of my life goals?)

And then I got a job and had to move to a different state and become an adult and all that mumbo jumbo.

And now, here I am, four years later, still working on this darn thing. But I am getting closer! It is mostly constructed (phew!) and almost all that remains is the fun part... decorating!

Here is what it looks like on the site. It didn't have a photo of it unfinished and in pieces. And (of course) I didn't think of taking a picture of all the pieces.

And here is what I came up with:

I know, I know. It's on a desk and doesn't have the best backdrop but hey, it's almost 10 pm and past my bedtime! It's also not totally finished yet. I will be adding more moss and greenery around the house, especially the roof and foundation. Especially under the window where I got a little crazy with the shingles. :)

Here's a closeup of the porch. I made the plant. :)

I also plan on making window boxes. It did come with some but they are just solid wood... not a box with a space in the middle to put plants. Totally not functional. (Yes, I know we are still talking about a dollhouse here.)

And here is my current favorite room in the house... the kitchen! It's my favorite because it's the room I have worked on the most. All the furnishings are either store bought and refinished or deconstructed/reconstructed from store bought. I made the plant and sponge too. :)

Woohoo! SO excited to decorate my dirty mini house! :)
