This is a memory of what the dollhouse looked like when I got it.
This is what the inside looked like.
This is what the dollhouse looks like now.
Every little girl needs a garden with their dollhouse, here is this one.
This is a close up of the middle of the garden, you can see the little baby fairies on the birdbath. The birdbath was made of an ashtray on top and the bottom was a cardboard tube cut down and painted to look like the bottom of the birdbath. In the middle is a glass button. If you look around the ground you will see metal decorative pieces from a chain belt that was taken apart and used for a walkway.
I made a little fence out of some of the plastic tube that holds up the solar light and a wooden bead on top painted black with a glass button on top of that. The chain was attached with cup hooks.
This is the entrance way into the home. The door is put on hinges so it will open and close. I also put curtains on the top of the front porch area.
In the one corner of the front lawn of this dollhouse is a wishing well with another fairy baby on it. I also put in some fake purple flowers and you can also see some more of the metal belt pieces on the ground.
This is one of the railings on the top of the roof area of this home. This fence was made of a wooden dish drying rack that was cut down to the size I needed and painted. On top of the spindle areas I added some decorative popsicle sticks. The corner posts I added glass bulbs from a tree light set. I also added a decorative round circle which was painted red.
This is another view of the railing.
This is another view.
This is one of the sides of this home. I added a little planter which was a trophy party favor, they make great planters!!
This is another view of the front lawn area. You can also see I painted under the front porch to look like bricks. Something needs to be holding up the porch don't you think?
You can see a better view of the curtain on the porch. I also put a door knocker on the door.
Another view of the garden area.
I love these shutters. They were made of a foam material cut into the size I needed. I added small round sticks around the foam to make it look like a frame. I also added one piece across the middle. I painted them red and the sticks black. I also took metal pieces from another chain belt which I had left over from another dollhouse and used them for the decorative middle pieces. I had to cut them down the sizes I needed. The chain belt pieces can be seen in another one of my dollhouses which I used for the solar light holder for in the other house.
As you all now by now I LOVE SOLAR LIGHTS!! This is what the house looks like at night when it's lit up with the solar lights. I put the tops of the solar lights in the top of an egg carton outside during the day so they can get the sunlight then at night Beautiful!!! I also added one to the back of the TV set that I made which you will see in one of the pictures lit up.
This is another view of the house.
This is what the inside looks like at night.
This is the bathroom area. As you can see in front of the window is a plastic salt and pepper holder which is made of plastic, I drilled a hole in the center of the lid so the solar light would sit right inside it. There are also curtains in all the windows.
This is one of the bedrooms. I will show you how I made the bed in another one of my blogs.
This is the babies room, the baby is sleeping right now.
This is what the bathroom looks like at night with the solar lit.
This is what one of the bedrooms looks like at night.
This is the babies room at night.
This is the dining room area at night time. I made two benches for next to the table. The table was made of a top of a wooden box with dowels for legs.
This is the kitchen area. This kitchen has an antique metal stove, antique metal refrigerator, metal garbage can. An antique looking sink which was home made. There is a table in the back ground. This is what the kitchen looks like at night.
Now you can see the TV set in the parlour area which is lit up with a solar light. Looks like they are watching snow white. This is what the parlour looks like at night.
This is another one of the bedrooms lit up at night. This bedroom has two solar lights due to the fact it has two windows.
This is another bedroom in this home. This window I took a piece of the window film and made the window look like a stained glass window. When the light is lit at night you can see the stained glass look.
Even the attic area got a solar light installed.
This is another view of the roof area.
This is a view of the front porch at night.
In this picture you can see the fake stained glass window which is in that one bedroom. Look how it looks at night!! You can also see some of the windows below.
Solar lights make such a difference in a dollhouse at night. It's makes you feel like someone is home watching TV and of course left all the lights on in the house, we know how that feels.
This is another view of the roof area. I hope seeing this dollhouse has given you some ideas. I love working on dollhouses every one of them is different!!
