Semi-Handmade Dollhouse Kitchen
I’ve been working on a kitchen cabinet unit for the beach cottage. The finished product is shown above. The house doesn’t have much room for a kitchen so I had to make it compact. I was playing around with a couple of wooden Kidkraft pieces and they fit perfectly along one wall and it got […]
How I Made A Bedside Table Lamp Filled With Shells For My Playscale Dollhouse
Lately I’ve been obsessed with doll lamps. I can’t remember exactly how it started but I know I was looking for a lamp for the beach cottage. I couldn’t find one already made that I liked. I think I was prowling Etsy and found a couple that looked nice and started to think I could […]
Updated Upstairs and Downstairs In The Beach Cottage Dollhouse
I’ve been working a little on the smaller dollhouse. The one Mr. Dollcrazey calls the Pepto Bismol house. I got a couple of pieces for the kitchen. Actually I had the table but the legs were broken so I bent them back into shape and re-glued them. The sink and stove cabinet is a Kidkraft […]

Paint Progress On The Dollhouse Beach Cottage
Just a quick update on the interior of the beach cottage. I’ve got the walls painted. Downstairs is a soft green called Turtle Dove by Behr in a semi-gloss. It’s supposed to be primer and paint in one but I still had to give it 3 coats. I guess because the original wall color was […]
New Beach Cottage Dollhouse
First let me admit I have a problem. I’m out of control with respect to dolls and dollhouses. There, now that that’s out of the way look at my latest find! I saw it on Craigslist yesterday and went right out and bought it. Nevermind I had to drive an hour in the rain and […]
