I did made a lot of these small houses back in 2004 and earlier too I think. I sold some, gave away some and kept quite a lot ;)
This is a house that's in the middle of a great renovation ;) I thought of making a little doll that was working on the wallpaper, but I never got started on that..
And another one =) I made some furniture of a clay based on salt and painted them. I'm not that found of them.. tried to make them look like Lundby furniture, but I didn't do so well... (and not that many either)
And a third house =) Don't know how I thought I could do the wallpaper or
painting after I assemble the house... Well, we will see if this ever
get finished ;)
And, after all these small houses I brought home my "big" house, in 1:12 scale =) I bought this 2004-2005 I think. But I had such a hard time decide what to do with it, so I just stopped and left it undone. But now I felt like trying to make something out of it.
I'm thinking of giving the façade a makeover, but I don't know how, yet... wood? or bricks? or plastering?
I started renovated the upper floor to be a nursery and a children's room.
I think I will save the
pink wallpaper in the nursery =) and I might do a children's room at the right. I Don't known if I will save the blue wallpaper or not. I LOVE baby
dolls, I might just fill the whole house with babies ;) And I
love animals too.. The house most have at least 2 dogs and some cats
and maybe the guinea pig I bought from Anna and maybe some birds =)
At the middle floor I'm thinking of a bedroom and a bathroom.
Downstairs I think I will have a living room/ dining room. I started
painting the floor, but didn't like it, so I stopped ;) I think I will
make a wooden floor from the sticks from popsicles or other wooden sticks I have bought on Biltema (a great swedish store) =) and to
the right I want a kitchen, maybe with tiles and a light green
wallpaper (I love lime green)
This will be
so much fun doing this house, but a lot of work too, and I don't have any
deadline, so we never know if I ever get finished ;) It took me 8-9 years to get an idea how I want it, and it might take as many years to complete it, and if it takes too long I might change my mind about things and having to do it all over again... ;)

Hi Hannah, you tiny houses are really cute and the big 1:12 house has a lot of potential and many possibilities. Have fun with it and take your time to investigate all possible ways of decoration, inside and outside.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will really try to have nothing but fun, and don't rush the big house, but I'm no good at rushing so I bet it will take sometime =)
DeleteYour tiny houses are so cute. I love your big house. I am looking forward to seeing what you do to it :)
ReplyDeleteHugs Maria
Thank you, I look forward to that too ;) Feels like I dont really know whats going to happen to it, so its a bit exiting =)
Deletewell at least you know what you want...someone said if you have a lot of projects you live longer and you have a lot of projects so you have lots of time :)

I'm glad to hear that =) I have lots of projects, I get bored so easy I have to switch a lot =) I have another house that I'm working on now too, but its a "Christmas"house and I didn't feel like working on that right now so I had to start something new =)
DeleteIts always nice to have a working project at hand..even if you don't get to it for a while ;)
ReplyDeleteThat way you can switch up things and not get bored ;)
Your house is a great project!
I always want lots of projects, I get bored so easy, but now I can switch as I please and have fun all the time ;)
DeleteBy the way I tryed comment on your blog, but I don't have google + and I dont think I could comment then, I tried but couldn't see what I wrote later when I checked...
I wrote: I love snails too. I saw lots! I mean like 30 or something during a walk around the block this weekend, apparently we moved to a snail block ;) (haven't lived here on the spring before) They are very big and have a big house on the back.
And I just want to ask, can't I comment on your blog as usual now? do I have to have google+? I dont have that, but maybe I get it now when I comment? I have no clue about this! Hannah =)
I think a dollhouse is a toy so it isn't necessary to finish, it's to play, to change things,...
ReplyDeleteMy daughter agrees, she thinks its a toy, for her, to play with the doors ;) (she's just 1,5 year so she is too small for dollhouses, but she will get one of mine one day) =) Maybe you are right, I might never finish, but I hope I get it decorated and finish the floors and walls, then I can keep changing the stuff inside forever =)
DeleteEtt sådant hus som det stora gula har jag varit nära att köpa. Det är jättefint. Det kan du ha jättekul med. Tror nog de flesta skulle vilja ha det.
ReplyDeleteSkall bli kul att se minihuset när du pysslat klart.

Det är ett fint hus det stora, ganska många rum med, ibland tycker jag dockskåpen har för få rum, men detta är ganska lagom =)
DeleteAll the small houses, it must have been something of a patience work.
ReplyDeleteExciting with your new project, I also have such a house, which I partially decorated. I have some thoughts about putting new windows and doors in, then do something about the facade. Once upon a time.
Good luck whit your haouse, now I can get some inspiration from you.

I thought of a new door and new windows for a second, then I realized it would be too hard for me to change that. I will start with the walls and floors, it seams easy enough =)
DeleteThe tiny house is very nice and the big one is fabulous. I'm curious to see it decorated.
ReplyDeleteBye, Faby
Te quedará preciosa, tiene mucho trabajo pero es muy satisfactorio y cuando se ve terminada, compensa. Besitos
ReplyDeleteThank you, I hope I have lots of fun work to look forward too =)
