dollhouse 1 exterior pics


Hi I am Jennifer... and this is my dollhouse. I made the dollhouse myself using mostly scrap lumber. It was built in the late 1980's. I had no real plan drawn up , but I had a house plan from a real size house. I took the dimensions from that plan, including the window placement and sizes.The staircase is a copy of the staircase I had in my real house. I am as enchanted with my dollhouse now as I was more than 20 years ago. My dollhouse needed some perking up after all these years .Just like the shoemakers kids had no shoes. The dollhouse wallpaper lady had no nice fresh wallpaper in her dollhouse. I spent the last few months of Winter 2008 renovating the dollhouse.	I have made this same dollhouse several times since this one was built and finally made a website on how to do it You can find the plans and instructions here.
	The front of the dollhouse opens up to reveal the interior. The roof lifts up the show the roooms on the second floor. I spent February and March 2008 renovating the dollhouse. The front doors were replaced, and exterior of the dollhouse received a fresh coat of paint. All of the interior rooms were redecorated. Best of all I rewired the dollhouse, which totally brought it to life.
This photograph of the whole house exposes a major architectural flaw. Can you spot it? Ok , I give.........the door to the bathroom is on the wrong side, stepping out of that door would result in an 8 ''mini foot '' drop! This is what happens when you build a dollhouse without a real plan. I could fix it, but none of the imaginary inhabitants have lodged any imaginary complaints , so what the heck, I don't imagine I will get around to it any day soon.
I also added the front flowerbeds. The hostas in the front are made from punched out paper leaves glued to a birthday candle holder. I honestly don't know if I invented this method for making hostas this way, I may have read a tip somewhere and filed it in the far reaches of my brain. It sure works well though.	Some on the plants in the flower beds I made , others were purchased. The white lilies come from Michaels, the plastic leaves are taken from real size greenery purchased from the Dollar store. The ''poppies'' I made from red tissue paper and painted mustard seeds. The ''black-eyed Susans'' are made of paper petals and have a polymer clay center.
The Side Yard I love flowers and birds. On the yellow bird feeder are chickadees, cardinals on the bird bath and a bluejay on the mailbox. send me an email	Cardinals on the Birdbath. The little bird bath and the gnome in the background were purchased in Herne Bay,Kent, England in 2001. The little cardinals are polymer clay.Canadian Winters last far too long for my liking. I made the birds one day in April 2008, during yet another snow storm. I was so fed up with Winter on that day. I was so yearning for Spring. I kept remembering the 2 cardinals who had kept me company while I was gardening last Spring. So, since I couldn't have the real thing, I made my own.
