Ta Da!!! My kit bash is done! Yes, finally, after four months of many and mostly "a first time for everything"s, I'm finished! The last day was somewhat bittersweet; that high that you get when you're done with a long and arduous project and that sad funk that you get when you're done with a long and arduous project! My little Tudor dollhouse... What my goals were: To protect and display my vintage 3/4 scale English Barton Tudor dollhouse furniture that I was so fortunate and privileged to get. To create a sturdy, small profile, front opening dollhouse, that can be on the floor. To keep the display/dollhouse within the 1:15 and 1:12 scales, for possible resale value. To explore the “Tudor” style. To incorporate two Concord wall dividers in creating a bay window effect. To incorporate the cute medieval fabric scrap I purchased many months ago. To have fun, practice patience and learn!! I think I was relatively successful! The Outside... Not much trimming on the sides, but I didn't want to go overboard. The outside detail of the bay that was so time and mentally consuming. The Door Wall... Open sesame! Gee, wouldn't it be convenient if my own house could open this way! The Living Room... Had to have one of those cool, battery powered chandeliers! The Bedroom... I think the landing and stairs came out well! The Attic... A peak through the skylight. What I would have done different: I would have found a different method of insuring the chimneys evenly lined up when installing them. I’m about an 1/8 inch off, horizontally. That’s a lot in dollhouse land! I would have figured out how many shingles I needed, BEFORE I stained them, especially since I made deviations to the kit’s instructions (luckily, I did have enough, once I counted after dying). You want to insure the same dye lot when dying shingles, so make sure you have enough, FIRST! __________________________ And now to furnish it... Here's all the furniture and such, waiting to go in. The Living Room... English Tudor Barton trestle table, bench and chairs, the hutch and the corner cabinet. Boy! Am I lucky to have all these fabulous 3/4 scale pieces! Have a seat on the Petite Princess fireside chairs. The Bedroom... A Barton Tudor bed, trunk, and highboy. And by the fire, a Napoleon and Josephine Limoges table set for tea drinking. The Attic... I always wanted an art studio like this!! Barton sideboard, trestle table and chairs (yes, I have two sets!). The lovely easel was made by an artist in England. How fitting! __________________________ The Whole Kitten Kaboodle... Well, there you have it. All that time and energy and it's just a wee, three story dolls house! Why did it seem bigger all the time I was making it???? My Barton Tudor furniture display is done. Maybe I went a little overboard?! Thanks for the "bones" Real Good Toys!
A unique one of a kind hand built 12th scale Tudor dolls house packed with unique features and details. Comes complete with remote controlled electrics complete with memory, dimming and memory functions. Built in speakers to play medieval minstrel music through. All houses are hand built to my extremely high standards and can see shipped worldwide in their own bespoke packaging crate for safe and secure transportation. This house comes with all the accessories shown in the photos which includes handmade dining furniture and other miscellaneous bits and pieces. Although I have quoted costs for delivery, in US dollars, different addresses cost varying amounts so I would need to quote accurate shipping costs once I have specific address details. There is a large difference in shipping costs between air freight and sea freight, with only air freight being able to offer a door to door service, according to my shipping agent. In both cases you will probably need to employ the services of a customs broker to assist you with the required paperwork necessary to import the house. At the time of writing this a rough estimate for shipping a house to the US via sea, to be delivered to the nearest port, would be about £1000 excluding any taxes or duties payable. The estimated cost of a door to door air freight service would be about twice this amount! Please note that due to Etsy insisting on prices being quoted in US dollars and having all kinds of parameters when quoting for shipping, the prices and details quoted within this listing description take precedence and are the ones that should be taken notice of.
So I'm stuccoing the upstairs. It's incredibly painstaking and time consuming work, because, well, staying in the lines is harder than it looks. Gloppy stucco is ugly stucco. Here, I'm using a variety of angled brushes to fill in the "daub" in my wattle and daub. For stucco, I'm using a combination of Greenleaf's stucco powder, and DecoArt's "antique white" craft paint. You can get different effects, depending on your ratio of paint to powder. Here, I've created a stucco that sets in stiff peaks. A thicker stucco is better for tiny crevasses, as it generally sticks where you put it. The so-called "bargain" craft brushes are often as nice or nicer as the really expensive ones. Of course, it depends on the brush, but don't immediately discount those little packages. I've gotten some good deals that way. I started cladding the ground floor with brick, while I waited for the stucco to set up. Greenleaf recommends waiting ten minutes after mixing the powder, and this is excellent advice. If you start using it before it's set up, you may not be happy with the results--and, at the very least, they'll be inconsistent. Working around this window took the better part of an hour. More bricks... I was extremely pleased with how everything was coming out. One secret to success is staying away from strict black and white color schemes. Bright white is a product of the modern age; for most of history, "white" was really off white. Also, too, keep in mind that our notion of half timbering isn't entirely historically accurate. The dark timbers we tend to think of as "tudor" originated in Germany. German, Polish, and Czech builders rubbed their beams with creosote to preserve (and darken) them. In England, however, builders tended to use whatever wood was on hand and let it darken naturally over time. Many period examples are anything but black and white: silvery ash beams and colored stucco (even pink!) weren't uncommon. Hm, maybe I should build another tudor-style house... Almost at the halfway point...on one side. Almost there! These were a real pain in the butt to fill in. And here's the finished product...on one side, anyway. For right now, you'll have to imagine the windows. They're coming, though--as is the brick!
It seems that Tasha Tudor has always known exactly how she wanted to live. From the time she was a little girl, she dreamed of living on a secluded farm where she could surround herself with a garden and a slew of household pets and barnyard...

There are several commercially prepared products labeled "dollhouse stucco", or some such out there; most of them aren't very good, and they're all expensive. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make and apply your own dollhouse stucco. It's cheaper to make your own and, most importantly, I think you'll be really pleased with the results. Because you control what goes into it, you have much more control over what it'll look like when applied. First, you'll need two products, both of which are readily available at any art store: acrylic craft paint, and pumice gel. Pumice gel is an additive used by fine artists, to add texture to paint. It has many useful craft applications as well. Note, here, that the kind of pumice gel you choose is critical. Fine pumice gel will produce very citified, refined plaster; coarser pumice gel will produce a simpler, more countrified look. For your paint color, pick something that suits your individual project. I like this color, "antique white", because it resembles the yellowed parchment effect of aged plaster. A brand-new dwelling would probably call for bright white. Keep in mind, too, that many half timbered structures were painted in a rainbow of hues. Many of the finest surviving examples in the UK are very brightly colored. I've seen yellow, and even bright pink plaster. For the Wizard's Eyrie, I'm using coarse pumice gel. For the Tudor Bakery, which is a more refined town building, I'll use fine pumice gel. Find a container--preferably one with a lid--that you don't care about, and, using a tongue depressor or piece of scrap wood, spoon some pumice gel into it. Do NOT use flatware! Pumice is an abrasive; it will scratch! Mix in the paint, a little at a time, until you've achieved the desired consistency. You want your mixture to have a noticeable texture, but still be smooth enough to spread easily with a brush. Too much of a good thing...is too much. If you're not sure, you can always spread a little on and see how it looks. Begin painting on the first coat of stucco. You'll need to do two coats. I prefer to cut in each section, just like I'm painting a room in my house. Here, I tested my mixture to see if I liked the consistency. For your first coat, you may have to use your imagination a little; because this is just the first coat, the stucco will look slightly uneven. The second coat is what will even everything out. A close-up of my first coat (in progress). Be careful to wipe up any mistakes. Nothing will take your project out of scale quicker than huge blobs of stucco all over your timbers. Remember, while many medieval and tudor structures were of the rougher variety, your dollhouse person's sense of scale, and yours, are very different. Too many blobs, and your house won't look rustic--just sloppy. The first completed section--we're still on the first coat, though! A close-up of the same section: see how, with only one coat, it's still slightly uneven? I prefer to use several different sizes of brush: medium, small, and tiny. The tiny brush comes in handy for corners like this, which really can't be carefully painted with anything else. Working around this window was difficult, and took a lot of patience! Here I am with my tiny brush. This section required quite a bit of work--but I'm optimistic that it'll pay off in the end! A view of the rear; our first coat is completed! If you're wondering what that unfinished side wall is about, I'm planning on facing it with brick along with the main structure. I'm really pleased with how the wattle and daub is coming out. So far, it's looking quite rustic! With a small structure like this, interesting architectural detail becomes all the more important. Now, take a break. You need to let the first coat dry--and I mean really dry. If you start applying the second coat before the first coat is totally dry, it'll all just turn into a gigantic mush. Applying pumice like this takes some effort, and you don't want it all to go to waste. For our break, Jim and I made a nice fry up. He's always been very good at potatoes. We ate it at the table, in the company of the dollhouse. Dollhouses make excellent dining companions: they're very quiet, and listen to everything you say. Once your first coat has dried completely... It's time for the second coat! I won't lie, this is a long and tedious process. I felt every minute of it. But, honestly, when I admired the final results, it was totally worth it the sacrifice. I took this close-up so you can see the difference between one coat and two. The panel on the left has one coat; the panel on the right has two. Part of what makes doing the second coat such a drag is that you have to be fairly attentive to how you layer on the stucco. It's not rocket science, but getting an even-looking final result does sometimes require mushing the stucco around a bit. The west side is done. A close up of the lean-to. A close up of the eaves--what a pain! Here's the completed lean-to. I am, once again, working in the dining room as my husband writes in the living room. As always, I'm trying to protect my surroundings. Here, I'm using two hand towels that everybody in the family hates. I got them at a discount shop and was quite promptly told that, bargains aside, I should've left them there. Thus, they make perfect craft towels. I saved the easiest panel for last. Here's a close-up of the completed eaves. I've done everything I can do, on the hut itself, until my bricks, and thatching materials arrive. I must say, I'm really pleased with the final results. I think they look very realistic. Sometimes, shortcuts are good, but sometimes, going the long way 'round really does work out best. So that's how to plaster a half timbered tudor dollhouse! This same procedure could work equally well, really, in any plaster or stucco application--especially if, like I suggested at the beginning of this tutorial, you vary the coarseness of your pumice gel. You can use it on any medieval or tudor structure--I'm also planning on using this same coarse pumice on the (forthcoming) medieval blacksmith's shop--but also on your mediterranean villa.
A Tudor Dolls House I thought I must share with you this wonderful resource if you are making a Tudor dolls house and wondering what to put in it to give that authentic feel. In 1601, John and Jane Daniells and their family were living in Rectory House in Hackney in England. Unfortunately they fell foul of the law and their home and possessions were confiscated. Sad for them but for us, a fantastic look into their lives as a comprehensive inventory of their house contents in now available on-line. You can go on on a virtual tour of their house, peruse the picture gallery and read the room-by-room list of their possessions, furnishings and even their clothing. For example (and I've kept the original spelling) in a trunk in Mr Daniell's chamber there were: one nightcap wrought with black silke and gould and a purse imbrodered with goulde one ould riding hood one shirte one vellett Cappe one peire of Cloath rounded of a Cloake 5 fallinge bandes one girdle a paire of hangers of green silke and gould and a string of gould to hang his dagger on one Ruffle with purled lace twoe paire of Boothose one Flannell Wascote wrought with red Cruelle twoe Dublettes of blacke stuffe one dammaske Cloake with Sleeves garded with vellett one paire of Fuger sattyn hose payned with Velvett one peire of blewe cloth twoe peire of Tawnye vellett; old one greene quilted Cappe the Trunke wherin these goodes remayne Does that make you want to whip out your needle and thread and stitch something for a trunk in your Tudor dolls house? I hope you have an interesting time exploring this website about the Daniells.
