I am still adding things here and there to make the dollhouse
more like a lived in farmhouse. Since I plan on keeping this dollhouse,
I spent quite a bit of time making miniature family photos......
from our real family photos. I arranged them
around a "family" quote and placed it on the living room
wall......where I can always see it and remember back on our sweet life.
I had shown you a photo in an earlier post of the dollhouse kitchen.
I have also added things to make it look like a farmhouse kitchen,
and I have painted it yellow.
I had this red water pump with the red pail. I made a miniature dishcloth
and dish towel and I made a tiny bottle of liquid dish soap.
I need a lot of practice, as you can see...........in my "wonky" and uneven
creations.......but I made food and dishes from oven bake clay.
After the clay baked, I painted the food .
There is baked bread and rolls, a dozen eggs, spaghetti and meat balls in the
red bowl, baked chicken and roasted vegetables, and a cherry pie.
I love red handled kitchen items, I also used real tiny wire for
the whisk.
As you can see, the chicken
and the breads look pretty plain. So they all look
better painted in the previous photo.
I also made a tiny set of canisters from the oven bake clay.
and I made more tiny dishcloths and dish towels for
the storage drawers. ( a little blurry)
I made a small shelf with teapot and teacup decals to
give the kitchen a "homey" feel.
I will add a few wall pictures to the kitchen later......
but for now......I am pretty much finished with this room.
Or... do we ever really get finished with a room,
whether it be a dollhouse......or our real house?
What a wonderful room...just waiting on the family to make it home! I am amazed at the fine details you have added to this kitchen. How creative and talented you are!
ReplyDeleteThis is just sweet. I love it!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I love both rooms! You did a fine job with the clay.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. You are doing a great job to make it homey. I like the red handled kitchen utensils also. I have a rolling pin which was my grandmothers. So charming.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a feast for the eyes. You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI just love your doll house. I always wanted one to decorate. We are moving this summer cleat out to CA from Indiana. I have been saving bits to create a Halloween setting in a large fish tank. I have never started it because I don't really have room for it in my home but I bet I will in the new house!!

How fun to create such a wonderful kitchen! Love it, Janice
ReplyDeleteYou have so much talent! When I first clicked on this site, I thought it was a picture of your real-life living room.
ReplyDeleteI had a Barbie cardboard dollhouse when I was small. My sister and I never played with Barbies. We had two parakeets, Myrtle and Erving who were the right size for the Barbie dresses. We would dress them up, sit them in the house and they would walk around pecking at everything. After a while, they would get bored and fly up to the top of the curtains.
I guess my childhood was a bit odd...maybe it explains some of my idiosyncrasies.

I can't believe this room, the details are amazing. You've given your little kitchen such a homey, welcoming vibe, I would be happy to cook there. Well done!

How did you make your tiny dish liquid bottle? It looks so very real. Great job.
