I spotted this little house (marketed as a cd holder) at Michael's and thought it would make an adorable dollhouse. It's amazing what a difference paint, paper and glue made. I painted the entire piece first with a slightly glossy paint. The effect of the second coats was a sweet painterly wash that I really like. I shingled the roof with scallop-cut strips of polka dotted paper. I made a door and window for the front with patterned paper and added a button as the doorknob.
Inspired by Moki and Alicia, I made little occupants for the fresh new houses using pegs from the unfinished wood section of the craft store. I wrapped the bottom of them with a strip of scrapbook paper. And I added felt arms to the sides. They kind of look like they are wearing moo-moos, doesn't it?
I used illustrations from a 1930's children's book for the framed pictures...the frames were found in the scrapbook section of the craft store.
One more thing to cross off my list. Hopefully I'll have some more fun things to show you tomorrow.

So cute! Your darling girls remind me of stylish fisher*price little people. I want one of these dollhouses to play with. Great job!
My daughter is sitting with me and she said 'Let's see what the after looks like....tooooo cuuuute!!" We love the colors and the little dolls do look like Fisher Price people. Too fun.
Amy, I am doing the same thing for my neice..except I am doing a set of 3 houses for her, and I am not quite finished with them yet. I thought they were so cute when I saw them too!
Love the way yours turned out and love your little ladies there! I had not thought of felt arms, but think I will do that for my little ladies too! Great idea!
Oh that is just the cutest thing! You are so creative! And, you have some very lucky nieces!
How adorable, Aimee. They do look like they are decked out in their resort-wear for the season :-)
