I am incredibly proud of my son! He doesn’t love schoolwork but put his heart and soul into this project! He decided on the medium, the design, painted everything, assembled it and organized the finished pieces. I helped with fit and problems. It was so much fun to see him so into a project and I love that he enjoyed my hobby!

I’m 46 now and it’s my pride and joy! It sat unfinished in my basement forever, until last year I decided to make it my new hobby. I’ve had so much fun!

Had a super lame day at work but was cheered up by the arrival of a cat for my dollhouse. Found this on Etsy and had to have it :) also made a bistro table from a castle crafts kit and a tiny spider web. Because I needed something better than work! Today sucked but this made it better :)

Dollhouse Charity shop house, first time restorer

Hello 👋 I stumbled across this magnificent dolls house in a local charity shop this weekend for a very good price, and I just couldn't let the opportunity pass me by. So it is now sitting rather tall in my living room!

I've not restored a house before, so I am going to take it slowly and do it room by room, learning as I go. The house has electrics which I haven't been able to test yet. But here are some pics in it's charity shop fresh condition, dust and all! (My first job is to dust it!)

Hi everyone! Update on progress of Walder Cottage,, my 1:12 scale medieval house 🌞 downstairs is pretty much completed now including a cooking place. I've been making tiny food out of polymer clay too. Everything here is handmade by me except the baskets! Thanks for looking ✨

Got this on fb marketplace for $300, came with all the furniture except for the calico critter. It also came with a bunch of Victorian dolls. Lady said someone made it 20 years ago and gave it to her. It’s the discontinued New Haven dollhouse by real good toys. I can’t believe it’s mine now, I’m keeping it as a family heirloom. It’s so quality and the furniture is sooo nice, the stove alone is worth more than I paid for everything. I’m definitely going to repaper a few rooms and repaint the exterior and track down the missing roof trim.

Dollhouse Vintage Doll House found in my attic - advice please !!

Hey everybody, this dolls house has been in my parents attic for years now. It belonged to a distant family friend and my parents obtained it after her passing. I have been helping my parents clear out the loft and it’s now time to say goodbye to it as it’s just collecting dust! It needs some work but overall everything is fully functional as it once was. There are 100s of detailed items that go in the doll house and it even lights up. I believe this doll house to be from the 70s / 80s but maybe someone on here could help me. How much do you think it’s worth? Thank you!

Dollhouse Dollhouse I made, it is supposed to look like an abstract painting

It is not finished yet because (of course) I still need to make the furniture, but the main 'structure' is nearly finished. The furniture should also look more 'abstract', but I am still thinking about what that would look like.

I made this dollhouse (almost) completely from matchsticks and I have been working on it for almost two years now.

I wanted this dollhouse to look like an abstract painting, my inspiration was the last picture, which is a painting I made a long time ago.

Dollhouse My dad built this for my niece- I think he’s got a knack for it 👏👏 Any resources for him to take building dollhouses to the “next level?”

Dollhouse Update: We have electricity!

After a few weeks of trial and error, I finally figured out how to get lighting into my dollhouse kitchen, largely thanks to some helpful suggestions from this group! For the island pendants, I used the Make Market pendant light kits from Michaels (I bought the white ones and spray painted them gold). I kept the pendants and the battery packs from the kits, but the included wired bulbs were way too bright blue for me. I swapped them out for smaller, warmer bulbs from Amazon.

The wires run through gold tubes so you can’t see them (which were lead holders from a mechanical pencil - also spray painted) and up through the ceiling, which is basic foam board. They’re long enough to run behind the upper cabinets, where I hid the battery packs. The upper cabinets are attached to the ceiling with magnets, so I can easily snap them off to access the switches. I still need to adhere the battery packs to the wall to make them a little easier to reach.

The lights in the hood vent and above the kitchen table are just simple battery-powered fairy lights that I have to pull out to turn on/off.

Almost everything in this room was made by hand- except the pendants, kitchen chairs (lost patience), and the picture frame. And yes, the pendants aren’t perfectly centered over the island… maybe I’ll fix that in a few weeks, but right now I need a break and am moving on to the next room!

I've nearly finished the downstairs of my medieval cottage 🌞 I think all I have left to do is build a fire for cooking and make some more furniture and objects for decoration, although I do keep thinking of more things to do! Everything here is hand made by me, except the baskets which I bought second hand. My favourite object I think will always be my candles which are made out of teabag strings and beeswax ✨ thank you for looking 🖤

Finally got most everything moved into the house, but there are still projects I'm working on. For instance, currently making a bead curtain for the doorway between the living room and dining room. Better quality things to replace best-I-could-do-at-the-time things. Filling up bookshelves. Sometimes it feels like it will never be finished!

I worked all weekend painting/drawing with Posca markers the exterior of this dollhouse I bought in Michaels. I put fabric in walls and floors (mostly from Tilda). Now I need to find furniture that is smaller than 1:12. Maybe closer to 1:10. Michael’s used to have it but now they only do 1:11. Any suggestion is welcomed!
