Hi I
am Jennifer...
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
|
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 I spent February and March 2008 renovating the dollhouse. 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. |

 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. |
