Current builds

This house was bright yellow and is now covered with textured paint  that was brown washed. the same brown paint was used to paint exterior sashes with a burnt orange color repeated on doors.

This house is a Target house that was repainted moss green to cover awful blue original paint.  Inside is papered with just curtains left to do and furniture. Note: Black wall paper is really tough to get smooth in a small space.

Here are a few photos of the same two homes.

The Finished March House

The March house is done and ready for pick up. It is the standard kit that was finished on the outside.

The March house

This house is being given to the granddaughter of a friend who's first birthday is in March. It is done with tiny hands in mind while not sacrificing  detail for an older owner. Most wallpapers are real papers because they hold up better. Kitchen floor is made from cast off wooden blinds. Curtains are shaped with fine wire in the seamsm

This is a refurb that smelled funky...cat enjoyed the the funk though. Sold it for $30. The kitchen was tough because it was so small and deep.

Just a Picture.

This is just a picture of a work in progress. Enjoy. This is just a test.

To Start

I have been making and refurbishing cast off dollhouses for about 20 years. I have lots of pictures to share, but not much advice since most discoveries are by accident. Yes, there are artisans out there with drop dead offerings and wouldn't we all  like to spend money like that?  My projects are fairly frugal in comparison but it coincides with my philosophy that dollhouses should be domiciles for little hands with giant imaginations. I make houses where dreams are discovered and secrets are kept in the desk in the study.
