The Boy's Room

 

The Boy's Room


Lots of boy clutter here.
His hamster cage with mini wood shavings and a clay hamster.
A stamp collection is in the roll top desk.

The little Scabble game [bottom left] was a pack of gum given to me by one of my grandsons.

I am still delighted to find items to add to the dollhouse. I recently came across the pefect size basket ball for this room. It is supposed to be an eraser, I found it at the $$$ store.
Another item I found at the same store was a tiny pair of shoes, the shoes are plastic and were being sold as as charms for cell phone holders.
This picture was taken before I found the new things.

The little ship on the shelf above the bed is one of my favorite miniatures. It is also from a $$$ Store. It was in a glass bottle, I have others which were in little glass cases.

I just wrapped them in a bag and hit with a hammer to release them from the glass.

 

 
The Attic

As in real size houses, the attic of the dollshouse is a great place for piling up junk. I made rolls of all the wallpaper used in the house to represent that leftover wallpaper we all have.

There is a work bench and lots of tools, old paint cans, and bits of wood.

The Christmas decorations are stored there. The roof is insulated with old newspapers, as was done in the past. Old carpets lean against the wall, a wedding dress on it's mannequin, a chair with a spring coming out, and a lot of suitcases. There are old cameras, broken picture frames, all sorts of things.

Lots of times when I try to make something new, things don't turn out quite right the first time, so I have to try again. These trial pieces sometimes end up in the attic. The wing chair I tried to make, just wouldn't stand up straight, but I hated to throw it out. I tore a little hole in the back and pushed in some polyester stuffing and a spring [from a ballpoint pen] sticking out. Now it belongs in the attic.

The Sewing Room

The sewing room is in the centre of the third floor.
One has to imagine that there are some stairs at the back of this 'room'.

The sewing machine is made from a Chrysnbon kit.

The rug here was very simple to make. I frayed the ends of
some cross stitch fabric then made the stripes by blocking off areas with masking tape and stencilling on the colors.

 

The Toy Chest

 

I have made this same dollhouse several times since this first one was built and finally made a website on how to do it

You can find the plans and instructions here.
