Clara's dollhouse is ready for its' Christmas reveal!


The dollhouse is finally complete! I was able to find vintage dollhouse furniture from the 1950's on ebay! It is furnished and ready for its' new family. I created the dollhouse from a kit. It was supposed to be a "Victorian cottage" but I eliminated the gingerbread and made it more of a Georgian style. I also upgraded the windows and added some molding. Aside from that all the supplies and hardware were purchased with the kit. I used scrapbook paper as wallpaper and drew pictures and plates on the wall. The paint colors consist of leftover paint from my own house. I created the window treatments out of a vintage handkerchief that I already owned. The overall project (furniture excluded) cost under $80.00! Very economical for a custom wood dollhouse! I think Clara will love it. I know I am ready to move in myself!
