Creatology Dollhouse Puzzle and Furniture Review, for cheaper halfscale dollhouse furniture and dollhouse from Michael's. Sorry I haven’t been updating this blog as much as I’d like. I have been working on quite a few projects and now have sooooo many pictures on my camera that I need to download and post up soon. But for now, I just want to show off my $16 dollhouse and furniture “kits” I purchased from Michaels creat...
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. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to have a natural finish for my Coventry Cottage’s “hardwood” floors, as well as the roof , so I skipped the staining part and went strait to applying polyurethane to the floors and roof. You can see in the im...
In the 10th installment of working on the Coventry Cottage dollhouse, I apply wallpaper to the dollhouse. Had these images sitting in my hard drive for a few weeks now (I actually have quite a few things sitting there!). This post is all about wallpapering my Coventry Cottage dollhouse. You can see my assortment of supplies purchased above. The longer pieces are Mini Graphics wallpapers from my local do...
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. But I am excited for this. The Willow is a big house. It actually reminds me of the childhood house I grew up in. Its probably going to be the same color as the Coven...
I finally added the shingles to my Coventry Cottage. Check out the work in progress pictures as I finish the dollhouse's roof and exterior. This is a doozy of a post just for the simple act of roofing my Coventry Cottage. I took ALOT of pictures this time around and instead of posting the full version of every single image, I decided to use the gallery instead to cut down on the loading time. The images should be in order as the images ...
The exterior trim for my Coventry Cottage dollhouse project is finally painted and installed without any problems. I had a bit of time this week to finish up the exterior trim for my Coventry Cottage. It wasn’t too big of a deal since it was mostly painting and clamping. It’s something that’s hard to mess up. So while the trim paint was drying (the very first picture), I assembled and glued together the porch, a...
I added the roof trim to my coventry cottage dollhouse with some mistakes along the way. Finally back from a two week hiatus. I sure miss this blog! Its been really busy at work which cuts into my dollhouse time. The next few weeks should be relatively easy, so hopefully, I’ll have more time to work on my cottage. Now without further ado, I want to update everyone on the progress of my ...
Part 5 of the progress report on my Coventry Cottage dollhouse project in dealing with painting issues. So I’ve had these pictures sitting in my hard drive for over a month now. Yes, I am finally getting off my lazy bum to share it here! Since the Coventry Cottage is my very fist dollhouse, I feel uncomfortable spending too much money building it since I’ll probably screw up and money is tight for me....
Part 4 of the progress report on my Coventry Cottage dollhouse project. While its not 100% dry, the glue is doing a pretty good job of holding up the Coventry Cottage frame. A close up image above. I also pieced together the front porch just to get ready. I plan on painting the house first before actually installing the frame. That way, there won’t be too much touch up ...
