I know I promised to show you Cozy's Dollhouse last week....but here it is....only one week later than promised. That's pretty good, don'tcha think?
Tiffani. (The houses' name.) She came with much more gingerbread, to line the roof and the gables. I still may end up putting a little more trim here and there, but not like this. Cozy wanted the colors for her house to be just like the one's on the box, and we came pretty close with what I had stashed in the basement.
I am a tad envious of the front porch.
Now, when we drive through our neighborhood, Cozy is quick to point out all of the houses that have "those things that my house has...with the windows..."
Gables. Actually, I think this home would fit right in on our street.
On the inside, Cozy's house needs exactly what mine needs - more square inches!
I tried to convince her that her dolls didn't need a bathroom, but she has very anti-outhouse. So, the larger upstairs room is the bathroom and the baby and mama have to share the tiny bedroom.
I broke one of my inside window frames. Well, truth be told, I broke several, but this was the one I wasn't able to mend.
I painted a little bow doodad from A.C. Moore...and isn't it charming!
Lucky for me, Cozy doesn't care if anything is to scale, because hardly any store bought furniture fits in her tiny home. (Pretty typical of first houses, right?)
The single bed I bought for her bedroom couldn't be squeezed in.
Isn't my Maryland wall art adorable! ...and the "D" is for Dotty. Cozette named her doll Dorothy and we are going to call her Dot or Dotty. (You can meet Dotty later. She is indisposed at the moment.)
Since our purchased bed didn't fit, we made one out of an old iphone box.
It isn't perfect, if you look at the corners. I covered it in paper, where fabric might have been easier.
The feet are bulletin board pins.
Dotty and the bears don't mind it's imperfections. Cozy and I plan to make them numerous throw pillows this week.
The bathroom is waiting on the tub and toilet, which I refuse to buy without a 50% off coupon. :)
For now, I'm calling the Tiffani finished. Finished enough that I'm going to start my new dollhouse. ....just as soon as I reclaim the dining room table.
How cute!! I absolutely LOVED my dollhouse growing up, and spent countless hours making teeny tiny accessories for it. Sadly, that house is no more. But my mom recently brought me another that she put together, that she no longer has room for. I'm hesitant to start messing with it with Joanna yet, as she is still pretty young, but someday we will fix it back up. I have a couple shoe boxes of teeny tiny things to put in it already! I can't wait to see your other doll house. Every once in a while I go to that section in Hobby Lobby and drool over the big Victorian doll houses. Someday!
ReplyDeleteThe doll house is amazing! I love it!
