A very long time ago, my parents built a doll house for my daughter. I gave them some rough plans and they worked together to make a sweet house. Through the years the house has been played with by many children who visited our home. This is how it looked.
The time has come to move this little house on. I was ready to pack it up, when I had a notion that it would be fun to do a little update. I got a little obsessed, and had huge fun. I used as many of the things my parents made as I could. My only rule was that I could not buy anything.
The first thing I did was paint the house, inside and outside. The outside is yellow. I have 3 tones of yellow. This is the deepest and was from my kitchen.
Inside the house, I painted the bedroom using the yellow from my bedroom; the rest of the doll house is the off-white-towards yellow of my living room.
The floor is the colour of our shed. The bedroom floor is some left over bits of veneer. I painted the kitchen b/w tile floor.
Here it is.
The doll house is looking for a new home. With the many very small pieces it is not meant for a very young child. I am hoping that there is scope for more creativity with this - like making cushions and other decor. Do you know someone who would like to have it?
What a wonderful update for the house. Love how creative you are.
