This is the first of what I expect to be many posts on the dollhouse's kitchen. I'm starting right from the beginning and sharing my inspiration, plans for the design, and current construction progress.
Construction continues on the dollhouse... I'm jumping a little bit ahead into the decoration process, but I've made some 3D printed hanging light fixtures and a selection of kitchen faucets to pick through. (All that computer design time has made for one quiet blogger!)
The dollhouse has progressed slowly over the summer. I mostly focused on painting and 3D printing files. I've just about got all the walls coated in a layer of white primer (MDF likes to absorb it all up!) and they are ready for a light sand. I decided that this would be a much easier …
Dollhouse building took an unexpected turn this past week. I've made several design changes to the house structure to increase load-bearing support. Today I'm focusing on the entry/living space progress and looking back at how I came up with the new layout. I've also got some n…
Hi everyone, a little update while I work on my next blog post. I just received my copy of the Dollhouse Miniatures magazine in the mail and I'm excited to share my 2017 Creatin Contest entry, the Belmont dollhouse, has been featured! I'm so humbled to be included alongside some ot…
A little update on the dollhouse for you this weekend. It's been slow going because I (as usual) decided to re-cut everything to get the design right. (And I mean every single piece!) The house is a little wider now by about 3 inches to better fit the interior stairway and I replaced all t…
The dry fit phase has begun! Over the last two weeks, I've been cutting and assembling my MDF walls and cardboard window templates. This has been a two-part process with an initial dry-fit to get the overall structural support design finalized and the second to add additional revisions and …
The house fronts are done! It felt great to move on from cardboard to wood assembly. I also managed to cut some window prototypes from cardboard too. The material selection was a bit of an unexpected turn but I'm pleased with how these pieces came together. Read on to learn how it all cam…
A few weeks later and the majority of the structural design has been completed. I still need to get the roof right, but otherwise, the overall look and structural components are finished. I knew it was going to be large, but I was still surprised at the size! Today I've included some photos…
After years of dreaming about making a custom dollhouse from scratch, I'm jumping in and making it a reality. It took a month of researching and drawing out ideas to come up with my final design and I'm excited to share my plans with you today.
Looking to add some style and texture to your modern dollhouse? Stone veneer and siding is a great alternative to miniature bricks and still gives you lots of options for colour and application. It can be used in both your interior and exterior while covering any little dollhouse cracks and joi…
