Antique Handmade Dollhouse
Hi Friends! Fall is in the air around here which makes me very excited! Although, if you can believe it, I have yet to decorate for it or get a single pumpkin. I guess, I am just taking things really slow this year and trying not to stress myself out too much. Today, I have something really fun and exciting to show you. Hazel, Owen and I went to our first ever dollhouse show right here in Fairport. It was hosted by a local dollhouse shop and had vendors with a variety of miniatures and dollhouses for sale. We were so excited and were happy to find sellers with items…

Miniature Beach Campsite from Nature
Hey Everyone! I’ve been away for a bit. I spent last week in beautiful Lake Tahoe, celebrating my sister’s wedding. Hazel and I had a girls trip, just the two of us, all the way across the country to be in the wedding party. It was a whirlwind with our flight being delayed and losing out on one of our vacation days, but we made the best of it. And I am so glad I was there to celebrate with my sister. It was hard to be away though, and I have to say, there is truly no place like home. I couldn’t wait to give my other two kids…

Dollhouse Dresser Redo with Chalk Paint
I love a quick paint makeover. A few years ago, I picked up some inexpensive chalk paint at Wal-Mart, not knowing at the time what I would use it for. I quickly discovered it was perfect for dollhouse projects. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Most of the furniture that we have collected for the dollhouse are pieces that originally came with it, those found at second hand shops and flea markets and those that I have saved from childhood. This little 3/4″ scale dresser is a piece that I purchased at an antique store. Here it is BEFORE:…

Coaster Turned Dollhouse Coffee Table
My favorite miniatures are those that don’t cost much to make, just a little creativity. When you get into dollhouses and miniatures, you quickly realize it can be a very expensive hobby if you want to shop for premade furniture and accessories. When I was a kid, I would get dollhouse catalogs and circle everything I wanted. I remember thinking “someday I will buy all of these!” Now, I would rather save my money and make as much as I can for the dollhouses on my own. Today, I am showing how I made a coffee table for our dollhouse living room with some simple materials I had lying around…

Dollhouse Kitchen Hutch Makeover
Hi Friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We are having a busy summer here, but I found some time to photograph more miniatures to share with you this week. Today, I am going to show you a simple makeover that I gave to our dollhouse’s vintage kitchen hutch. I can’t remember for sure how we came about this cute little wooden cabinet, but I think it may have been one of the pieces of furniture that came with our garage sale dollhouse. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. The first time, I shared this hutch on my…

DIY Modern Dollhouse Potted Plants
Hey Friends! I am here with my first miniature post since moving my blog to WordPress and my new web url alicewingerden.com! As I mentioned in my last post, I plan on sharing a lot more posts about dollhouses and miniatures. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. I will still share my own home décor posts and craft projects, but right now with three kids under the age of 7, the house is not often in a “photo worthy state.” And rather than spending my time feeling bad about this and beating myself up for not being able to…
