Doll house revival


  The dollhouse restoration has been a slow process.  Currently it sits out on a little tray table on the back porch with the chick heat lamp resting on it's chimney.. so it is serving a purpose!  Spending money on additional furniture just isn't top priority right now, but I'll show you what I've gotten done so far...

The "before"  HERE

  What I've accomplished so far... Now this is no grandiose doll house and the furnishings are simple.  It's a real fixer upper little summer cottage that I would love to own in my fantasy life on Marthas Vineyard.    Welcome!  Come, sit, have a sweet roll and some coffee -







 
If you need to use the bathroom it's on the second floor -





 


 
I'm still looking for a reasonable bedroom set. 
All in good time.
 
 

 
I'm happy to report - so far, all the chicks have survived
and thrive underneath the dollhouse in their nursery box.
Almost time to get a bigger box.
 
 
You can see their little wing feathers are coming in.
It's truly amazing how fast baby chicks grow.
In just two or three more weeks, you will see a completely
different looking chick.  I'll be sure to show you.

  1. The chicks are adorable.
    As is your fantasy cottage in the Campgrounds on the Vineyard. It looks amazingly like the one my godparents had.
    One of these days you'll get your cottage there and we'll have coffee and scones together to celebrate. :)

  12. I love your doll house....putting one together is on my bucket list. Maybe someday you could put together a list of sources you use for furnishings?
