Decorating The Inside Of The Hillbilly Fairy Dollhouse

 In my mind, a proper fairy house should be decorated
with moss, vines, have rustic twig furniture & found
objects, but this dollhouse is for a little girl to "play"
with, so I have "forced" myself to keep simplicity and
practicality in mind.  This house is 24 inches tall by
14 1/2 inches wide including the porch.  The rooms
are 18 1/2 inches wide by 10 3/4 deep.
I like the simple rustic interior and decided not to
paint or wallpaper.  I had some decoupage German
scraps of little fairies that I glued around the walls.
Then I applied 2 coats of clear satin varnish to the
interior and ceilings for durability.  Water will find
it's way into the dollhouse.  How can you serve tea
without some water?
The little fairies add a splash of color
and are in keeping with the theme.
When the hubs brought the house indoors,
it had a ladybug on the roof.
 That gave me an idea.
I had a few scrap lady bugs left over from a prior
project, so I dotted them around in secret places.
These ladies are marching along the ceiling
 of the kitchen.

It's plain and simple.  When my daughter
and nieces played in the Blue dollhouse, the
 curtains were often in a heap on the floor as 
they got in the way......I have a feeling the 
fairies will be flying through the windows 
so, no curtains.   The Blue House  
The colorful bedding and braided rugs
 I'm working on will brighten it up!
 A few things to do in the kitchen too.
 
The hubs gave me a surprise......apparently there was
just enough wood for another house!

He was very proud.  He'd found a fairy door
knocker at Hobby Lobby.  How cute is that!
 This one has a sliding latch.
This house is slightly larger at 28 inches tall by
16 inches wide including the porch.  
 Rooms are 19 1/2 inches by 10 3/4 inches.
Thank ya' hubs.  You're a keeper!
I have the perfect furniture for this one.

Eventually I'll get to the fairies.
Hopefully, I can figure the directions out.
In the mean time, take a peak at Peggy Flavin's
latest lovely fairies........she is my inspiration!
