{Dollhouse}

this dollhouse was cricket and bitty's christmas gift.
it started out
as a {hideous} teal, pink, and tacky barbie wallpaper mess.
and i turned it into this.
with a whole lot of {love} and a whole lot of {mod podge}.

this is the beginning.
some
nasty mouse pooped on carpet was on the floor













casey was really helpful. he helped scrape up the {nasty} 80's linoleum.
and as you will see later on, he added walls.

It turned out really {fantastic} if you ask me!!!
All of the walls are mod podged scrapbook paper. The entire thing cost me about $15 (the cost of 2 bottles of mod podge). The furniture was given as christmas gifts.


this is the {kids} bedroom.









the daddy and mommy bedroom is {empty} right now, a bed is on it's way in the mail...











This is the completed kitchen.
I spray painted {craft sticks} and put them up as "hardwood" flooring and "wainscoting" on the walls.














In the dining room i {mod podged} down some paper that looked like "ceramic" tile and
then cut strips of paper for "grout".


For the living room, we
had extra carpet just laying around in the garage. I "framed" the art on the walls using ribbed cardboard paper. This is the Egger Family in doll form according to Delaney. Plus a creepy cat {which would NEVER actually exist in our home}


The bathroom has "tile flooring" aka scrapbook paper that looked like tiles. The mirror on the wall is real. I just ripped it out of an {old wallet}, took off the fabric, and framed it w/ paper.


And these are the 2 cute and very excited little girls who have
already spent {hours} playing in it.


wanna come over and play too?!?!?!

  2. Wow! That's great! You're so creative. My favorite is the pic of tough Casey working on the dollhouse. I loved my dollhouse growing up.

    Mike is now considering getting me a dollhouse to fix up instead of my real house, as he thinks it'll be less expensive. :)
