Coventry Cottage Project Part 11: Finishing the Hardwood & Roof

I applied varnish to my Coventry Cottage Dollhouse's roof and floors. My miniature dollhouse is looking great! So its time to finish off the floors and the roof.

You can see in the im...

Coventry Cottage Project Part 9: Floors and Carpeting

May 31, 2010

I was finally able to work on my coventry cottage dollhouse by adding hardwood flooring, using skinny craft sticks and carpeting, using faux suede fabric. Happy Memorial Day! A few days ago, I finally had the chance to work on the flooring for the Coventry Cottage dollhouse. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it at first, but after browsing around the local craft shop and finding skinny craft sticks, I decided that they would make perfect “hard...

I just bought the Willow Dollhouse kit by Greenleaf Dollhouses. I just bought the Greenleaf/Corona Concepts Willow kit. I am not even done with the Coventry Cottage yet. I have problems. Seriously.
