Dollhouse



As per your requests, here is my dollhouse!



It was all wood when we started. No color at all.



You may notice it has no door.  It was a casualty of my childhood, I'm afraid.





I think the girls are really enjoying working on it.




They are being so careful and doing such a nice job.




We are going to paint the shutters and window boxes light pink.  The yellow is a bit brighter than I wanted, but it's fun.  We'd like to stain the shingles too.





Not long until it's finished now!

Seems to be a love of dollhouse decorating going on on a few blogs I visit. I love seeing them all come together. Bet the girls just absolutely LOVE doing this.

What a fun project! I've always loved miniature things. My daughter has a doll house stuffed in the corner of her playroom turned lounge. It would be fun to paint! Your girls are adorable! and so focused. Love it!
