Lisa_F Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Okay, here's a couple photo's of the gingerbread house I'm making out of the Sweet Heart dollhouse kit. It's not much to look at (yet) - this is the first house I've worked on in years ;) So far I have the floors stained, the stairs in and the walls wallpapered and painted. I used scrapbook paper for the wallpaper - and started off using a spray adhesive - but that seemed to hold the wallpaper for a day and then dried up and the paper started peeling Since the house was mostly put together at this point, I just used double sided sticky squares (for scrapbooking) to stick the paper back on. The roof is primed and eventually I plan to use some kind of snow effect paint on the whole roof - once I find or make the little candies to stick onto the roof. Anyhow, this is my practice house - to get back into the swing of things before starting the Westville dollhouse kit for my neice. Thanks for looking, I hope I attached the pictures right!

Missymew Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I like the gingerbread theme of your house. I'm looking forward to seeing photos as you glue candies all over the house. Yummmmm Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Oo, sticking the "gumdrops" all over the "marshmallow creme" roof will look SO yummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jing-jing Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 What a great idea! So are you going for a chistmas-y theme or a Hansel and Gretel theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Your house is comming along great. I too cant wait to see it with all the candies all over it. The cholcate base and marshmollow roof looks so very tempting now. I too have that house somewhere in my pile of houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_F Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks for all the nice comments everyone I was a little hesitant to post the pictures because my little house is very amaturish (sp?) compared to all of the houses in the gallery here. But I figured, what the heck, if I show this house now - you all will be able to see my improvement on future houses! ;) I'm going for a Christmas theme (although now that you mention a hansel & gretel theme - that is tempting!). Eventully there will be a decorated tree in the living room and gingerbread cookies baking in the kitchen. Haven't gotten inspired for the upstairs decor yet. I have a little fireplace that I was planning to put into the living room, but now that the house is built - the living room seems kinda small to accomodate one. I found lots of cute dollhouse furniture at our local dollar tree store that I think will go perfectly in this house. The furniture, I don't think some of it is 1" scale - I think it's a bit smaller than that - but not by much - but for this house the smaller stuff will work well. I have to paint the furniture first though - I didn't much care for the colors it all came in. I have an Ashley house kit that I am planning to make into a Santa's workshop - providing I can find some little elf dolls to put to work inside that one! Thanks again everyone!
