Cinderella moments

I'm back after a few absent weeks. First, I went to the beach for a vacation. Then I took a couple of weeks to come up and build a new design. This is Heritage House. It's a smaller version of "Somewhere in France." This custom dollhouse is 23 3/4" tall x 18" deep x 19 1/2"across. The lights and fireplace mantle have battery operated light. The outside walls are plaster. Inside is very open. There are 3 flickering bulbs in the mantle. I hope you enjoyed your visit! Thanks for coming over…

I've finished furnishing Swan Ridge for Barbara. This house is covered in dried flowers and real greenery. No plastic. I found the chairs and tables at Hobby Lobby.They are part of a set with a bench. So I bought 2 sets to have 2 chairs. I love bunting. I think it makes any house look so festive and romantic. The 2 windows are the type that slide open. This little mailbox was the last piece I made for the house. The porch was just missing something. You can see a tutorial for the mailbox…

Cinderella Moments: My Little Piece of Heaven Conservatory Dollhouse

I have furnished a house! This is a repeat of a house I've done before called Whispering Brook. It's a bit different from the first since they are all handmade from scratch. I had lots of fun creating a very vintage and romantic environment! Enjoy the photos. I hope these photos provided you with a bit of inspiration. Happy creating! hugs,

The Paris Shop and Apartment custom dollhouse is ready. The shop is called L'embellie. It is a fond memory of Paris it's new owner Gail. The house is 19 1/2"across x 17 3/4 deep x 24 1/4" with the chimney.(21 3/4"tall for just the structure.) The downstairs room is 18 1/4"across x 141/4" deep x 11' tall. Upstairs is 9"tall. Gail's vision was for an old Paris building with plenty of feminine touches. The 2 bay windows are handmade. I needed something tall. And any pre-fabricated ones would…

My newly finished piece is a commission for Kee. It's a Nantucket style home. 1/12 scale. This house is 20" x 18 1/2" x 19 1/2" tall. All the greenery and flowers are from Hobby Lobby. Check my 'resources' page. The path is sand you can find in the candle filler section at craft stores. I use white glue on the path and sprinkle the sand over. Push down to make sure the sand makes contact with the glue and let dry. Then tap off the excess. There are 2 switches hidden in the chimney. One for…

Another conservatory is ready. It's fully furnished, customised, 1/12. The light switch is hidden in the greenery on the roof. This conserv...

A new design! This is La Maison de la Marquise. It's a custom dollhouse I made as a commission. This dollhouse is 22" across x 15 1/4" deep x 21" tall. The exterior is mostly plaster. This will be a kitchen area with French doors. Downstairs is 20 3/4" across x 8 1/2" tall. I used pre cut pieces of wood to make the entry tile. Here is the kitchen space. I put the window high enough so a sink could fit under. Upstairs had to have a separating wall. It did make the 2 rooms tiny. But it still…

And now Whispering Brook Cottage dollhouse with some character added! I tried to photograph the aqua house and lavender door. But it do...

The interior is almost completed. La Patisserie de la Reine has definitely got that opulent baroque style. All the trims and embellishments are painted and aged. All the chandeliers and wiring are done. Here's how these domed windows are done. Use cardboard! As I mentioned before, the spackling will harden the cardboard to a rock hard finish. So there's no use cutting wood for this. Use hot glue to get your shape quickly tacked down. You don't want to use a regular white glue that will wet…
