The weather has been gloomy, but here
in southern Missouri we have not had the
devastating storms and flooding those
south of us are experiencing. I hope you
are all keeping safe and dry.

I've begun work on the second fairy
dollhouse. Just like the first one, I want
to use up some of the things I've gathered
over the years, plus make it durable for play.

I chose several gnomes or dwarfs from
these German scraps and glued them
to the walls, some will be hidden
behind furniture.

They are so colorful and amusing.
I also have a few very old large German
dollhouse wallpaper panels depicting scenes
from fairy tales, about 9 by 6 inches in size.
I'm saving them for a future dollhouse,
but I couldn't resist using Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs for this one.
I tucked it way up high on the inside
roof panel.
On the other roof panel, I put the
Man In The Moon, gettin' a shine.
A fun surprise when you peek
through the upper windows!
I finished the interior with 2 coats of satin
varnish. Make do decoupage is very plain and
simple, but kid proof. Hopefully, the furniture
& accessories will brighten it up.
This Swedish furniture has a beautiful
embossed design. It's just the right size for this
larger house. European dollhouse furniture of the
1900's was often made in 1/10 scale. The standard
today is 1/12 scale. (1 inch to 1 foot).

Originally, it was well made heavy furniture,
but it was in need of some repair & a
proper sanding.

the chairs needed re gluing & the bed

Only 1 bed with this set, so the
fairies will have to share.
I also have a few odds and end pieces
that will work for this house that need
painting too. I've purchased 3 sample jars
of Behr satin enamel interior trim paint
with primer in Melted Butter, Topiary Tint
& Sea Rover.
Don't ya' just love paint names?

My heart just skipped a beat when I saw this today! Sooo cute and you do such good work decorating your houses. Will you make hillbilly gnomes to live inside? :)
ReplyDeleteMore dollhouse fun, for sure...love the wallpaper panels and the awesome Swedish furniture!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun fairy house! Glad you have missed the terrible flooding and weather.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a surprise for any window peeker, to view the cute panels on the roof. I love the man in the moon. Great job. The gnomes and dwarfs are adorable. Can't wait to see all your work in person. I think we are finally going to be dry for a while from the rain - finally!
ReplyDeleteYou and your hubby are getting really good at making these Fairy Doll Houses. The house and furniture are charming.
