The Dollhouse!

This is my Dollhouse

My sister and I both had one when we were kids,

much smaller ones.

My sister gave me all her doll house furniture to add to mine!

So about 5 years ago I got this one, it was a kit.

I had to get a bigger house 

I had the furniture......right?!!

I thought it would be fun!

It has taken me 5 years to do the outside.

I thought it would be fun!

I changed the color of the house twice and had to redo the shingles!

I thought it would be fun!

After some soul searching I realized I

 I don't have the patience.

When I paint furniture I don't sand things down!

I just don't have time for that nonsense!

So it's a really good thing I like shabby, chippy stuff!

But with the Dollhouse 

I have to be patient.

As you can see the inside has furniture 

but needs wallpaper and paint.

Ohhh look at the stockings and the tiny wrapping paper.

And look at my really cute kitchen door!

( wow giant cricket in the background, photography at it's best )

And here's the kitchen, the unpainted, no floor kitchen.......

Tiny little rolls of T-pee........

But picture this room done, wallpapered and painted.

OK I love my dollhouse!!!!

I need to get busy and finish it!

And you'll see it in another 5 years!!!
