A new little cottage! Dripping Springs Cottage. This one is very fresh with it's Springy blue door and matching wallpaper inside. It's got a fresh laundry look to it. This house is 14 3/4" deep x 12 1/4" across x 16 3/4" tall. This is a battery operated house. The battery and switch are inside the chimney. It's a push switch that you just click on. There are 2 lights: the porch light and the handmade crystal chandelier. Inside is 14" tall x 10" across x 11" deep. This dollhouse is currently in my Etsy shop: www.cinderellamoments.etsy.com Thanks for coming over and visiting! hugs,
And now Whispering Brook Cottage dollhouse with some character added! I tried to photograph the aqua house and lavender door. But it does not really show up well. The aqua looks more like a light green on the photos. The house is 18 1/2" tall x 17" across x 18" deep. There is just a touch more blue in the green that does not really show up in the pictures. The aging is done with brown ink pads. You can use hard bristle brushes to get into tiny space. The medallion above the window is by Melissa Frances. The number above the door is a Tim Holtz plaquette from Michael's. It's real metal and a good size for 1/12 houses. This house is a commission for Beth who loves Cath Kidston. So I kept the exterior and interior nice and simple enough in the color temperature. Nothing too wild. This way everything will fit perfectly together. No matter how many colors or patterns are introduced. I already saw a peek at a table going in here. It's going to look marvelous Beth! Thank you for coming and looking at this project! I'm on to the next commission for Tracy. Have a great week! hugs,

Adding LEDs to Miniatures There are a lot of ways to add LEDs to any project. With the big difference lights can make it is definitely worthwhile to add them! To get started thinking about LEDs, it is good to know a few basic facts about these great lights. LEDs are made run on either battery or wall adapter. You can pick how or what you want to use! The miniature hobby LEDs draw so little power; you can run them on tiny batteries for a long time. The nickel sized coin cell can run up to 10 LEDs of any size, shape or color for up to 4 hours continuous operation. The coin cell can run solid or flashing / flickering LEDs but it cannot run both or the solid LEDs may slightly flicker. Moving up in size, a pair of AAA can run 50 LEDs of any size or color. The AAA can run solid LEDs along with any flash or flicker LEDs all together with no carryover. There is also no carryover with AA or 9 volt batteries. If you are going to use a wall plug, be sure to use one that states it is compatible with LEDs! LEDs come in many sizes. The most commonly used sizes in minis LED lights are : 5mm, 3mm, 1.8mm | Chip, Nano, Pico Each size has its use in modern doll house lighting. The bigger bulbs are great for overall room lights, while the smallest sizes can be used in lamps or chandeliers or even candles. Remember, LEDs never get hot, so you can leave the lights on, forever. For our project we are lighting a 2 story Colonial. We choose warm white because it is a nice color for the era of this house. We used a “false ceiling” to put in the lights, run the wires and make the connection to hook up wire. First, we cut a piece of Bristol board the same size and shape as the first floor ceiling. We drilled holes through our Bristol board for each light we wanted to place on the first floor. We wanted a light in the entry way, and a nice fancier light for the dining area too. We chose 3mm LEDs for a nice bright interior recessed style lighting. We sanded the rounded top off each LED, then we poked the LEDs through the Bristol board holes and bent the LED legs flat to the side. We then taped each LED down so they would not shift during installation. Remember, LEDs never get hot! With the LEDs arranged how we liked, we cut and stripped their wires in order to gather them together neatly. We attached all of the LEDs for the first floor to a single red and black hook up wire. All of your Red wires go to red wire on your hook up wire and all of the black wires go to the black. For the first floor dining area, we also made a chandelier using 5 of the warm white Nanos. We twisted the nano wires and painted them silver. Nice chandelier! Lamps can also be made with nanos or even picos. These 5 nano’s wires are gathered with the other wires and connected right to that same single pair of hook up wire. You will want to twist your wires very firmly at each hook up connection. Make sure they are firmly connected , use shrink tube to protect connections. Now is a good time to test all of the LEDs, make sure they all light. In the rare case of an LED not lighting, it is usually a connection problem. So now, before everything is glued in, it is a good time to test the lights. The two hook up wires are then trailed out a corner of the board and left to dangle while the board is inserted into the ceiling. Next, we drill a hole in the bottom corner of the front room, to pass the hook up wire out along the corner of the wall and out of the house to where the AAA battery will eventually be hidden. On to the second floor! We again cut a Bristol board the same size and shape as our ceiling. Drilled holes, inserted our sanded and bent 3mm warm white LEDs. Tape them down. Cut the wires to the same length and connect to your pieces of red and black hook up wire twist your wires firmly. Dangle the hook up wire over the edge of the board when you are inserting the 2 nd floor false ceiling. These 2 wires will go down the back corner of the upstairs room, down through the first floor and on out through the floor to our AAA battery. In the bottom picture, you may just be able to see the 2 hook up wires from the second floor in the corner of the room. These will be covered later with wall paper. If your paper is already in place, you can just paint the wires a complimentary color to your wallpaper. They are small and likely to blend in without too much work. Now we have the lights in place, the AAA battery holder will be hidden underneath the house in a false bottom. This allows for each access to the on/off switch and eventually changing the batteries. This many lights will run about 30 hours continuously on our AAA battery!

Well, almost... just a few final touches yet to do like attaching doorknobs, cleaning windows, adding the shop name ... I'm not sure if I've over-done the dirt and grime, just a little :) It certainly looks rather less pristine than it did in this pic posted last May It's been a good project to work on recently when it's been too hot to work on pieces that need concentration and precision in measurement and putting together (although I must admit the French windows and doors fall into this category but most of those were completed a while ago) but it's way past time to tackle the 'bistro' style table and chair set that I promised Marie Jose way back in July - she must have entirely given up hope of ever receiving it by now. I might be slow but I do deliver ... eventually :)
It has been five months since I began work on my built-from-scratch 1955 Betsy McCall DIY Dollhouse -- a project that has been labor of love and one that I didn't realize would take me so long to 'finish.'
Dollhouse trim, mouldings and finishes are the details that make a room, get selection ideas and crown moulding tips in the ORC week 5 reveal.
Wire-crafting and doll-making are two skills that go hand in hand. By making a wire doll body, you can give the finished doll both sturdy form and flexibility. A basic wire doll body is also a good beginning wire craft project with a relatively low margin for error, whether you’re creating a doll whose form […]

Rugs are the perfect finishing touch to any room, and a dollhouse is no exception. I always feel like a dollhouse seems so much more realistic when you can spot a few rugs. If you'd like to purchase a rug from me, I feel like my price are reasonable compared to others. You can click here to view my rug collection, and I'll also include a gallery of photos at the end of this post. For those that want to make their own dollhouse rugs, you have a ton of options. I've made rugs from felt, faux fur,

I built the White Orchid six years ago and promised to post finished pictures. Well, it is about to be packed up for a move and won't see daylight until about Thanksgiving, so I took some photos to update you. (Click this link to see the building progress. Click on the images to see larger views.) For those unacquainted with what I did here, I used the 1:12 scale house and fitted it out for its 1:24 scale occupants. This is how she looks today. The opening above the door is meant to house a cuckoo. His polyclay body is baked but his feathers have not been applied. I did not install the front door as it would have taken up too much room inside. I wanted it open so as to be able to see in. None of the folks who have viewed the house have mentioned the lack of a door. The settee was scratch built. The two thin dowels (plus a U-channel along the back edge) are sufficient to keep the ceiling from sagging, since I also left out the ground floor interior wall. The landscaping is a mix of natural materials, plastic flowers and polyclay mushrooms. The base is contractor's foam covered with gesso and painted to look like sandy soil. The little men on the step are salt and pepper shakers. The large mushroom is a Christmas tree ornament, just like the ones that decorated our tree as I was growing up. That, plus the creamy whiteness of the White Orchid's plastic, provided the inspiration for this house in the Bohemian forest. The left side is fairly plain, as befitting its mushroom appearance. The right side is a bit more complex with the bay window, so the landscaping has less detail. The back reveals three rooms. A combination workshop and kitchen on the ground floor with a trundle bed for the one girl elf and a bunk room for the four boy elves and a shared sitting/dining area for all of them. (By the way, three of the elves were out when the photos were taken.) The landscaping across the back just fills the narrow ledge. The cute little raccoon is a button. The red-capped mushrooms are showing up a bit dull in the photos. I blasted them with canned air but it left some dust behind. The workshop is on the ground floor. The guys have been busy, with lots of toys already finished. The room divider holds some of the sugary goodies baked in the kitchen. Under the divider is a trundle bed for the female elf. It would not do for her to bunk with the boys. You can see from the workbench that they're still at it. Look at the plastic stars on the walls. They are each wired with a tiny light. The stars themselves are real life mirror fasteners. The kitchen is small but efficient. The stairway is constructed from contractor's foam painted with gesso. The bricks are ceramic. The little mouse band on the stairs was a set of miniature Christmas ornaments. With the bottom steps pulled away you can see the lever that activates the batter pack to turn on the lights. The channels for the wiring are carved into the backside of the fireplace wall, which can be moved away from the wall for maintenance. The common area upstairs has a dining area and some comfy chairs. There are books in the shelves built into the center gable. The lamps on the hutch light up, The doorway leads to the bunk room. The lady elf keeps her sewing machine upstairs, away from the sawdust and paint splatters of the downstairs workshop. The lamps on the end tables light up. The wooden floor is a sample of window blind from Lowe's. It covers the lamp wires that feed up to this floor from the battery pack below. The bunk room is fitted with hammocks. With the sloping ceiling, they worked better than bunk beds. The closeup of the roof seen here shows what a nice covering the Krylon spray paint provided. It's in keeping with the satiny sheen of the raw plastic. The white spots are cut from craft foam sheets.
