Dollhouse Project Update

Twas the day before Christmas and....

I was putting the finishing touches on the dollhouse.

Don't get me wrong, there is still room for improvement, but

all of the major renovations have been completed!

 The roof was painted, the chimney was updated (it's still drying in this picture)

The exterior received a fresh coat of paint.

New carpeting for the bedrooms upstairs. 

One bedroom is painted the same

color as Max's, the other the same color as Maria's bedroom.

New flooring for the upstairs bathroom and downstairs as well!

 The completed house with all of the

 original furniture.  (That may need to be updated at some point too.)

Time to play!

Dollhouse Project

When I was about 4 years old my Grandparents gave my sister and me a dollhouse for Christmas.
We were SO excited!  We played with this house for hours and hours!
My Grandfather made it from a kit, and personalized the interior with the paint and carpeting
that we had in our house.

  to the left?)

Details!  Love the Mailbox and address!

And Mom and Dad's wedding picture!








I decided to "Spiffy-up" the dollhouse to give to my kids for Christmas...and to customize it a bit too!
Who knew that the roof and top floors were so easy to remove.
Thankfully!  Now I have a better chance at getting my big, grown-up hands
into the house.

The roof and top floor have been removed.
As well as the carpeting.
The carpeting was just like any other
carpeting.  It had stains underneath. 
I wonder if I ever rested my
drink inside of the house when I was little.
Hmmmm...

 The carpeting on the stairs was a little
difficult to  remove, but I got it!

I started to paint the 'downstairs'
the same color that is in our house.

I painted the roof a 'brownish' color, 
with texture.  I'm not very good with 
spray paint, so this will need another 
coat to even things out.








That's as far as I could get with my 1/2 day off from work. I'll try to keep you posted on my progress!
