This week I tackled painting the exterior of the doll house. As a reminder, this is what it looked like before.
And here is after.
I decided that I only wanted to use paint I had on hand. I vastly underestimated how long this would take. But I’m pleased now that it is done.
I did some porch repairs and I hung up this little porch swing.
And found a park bench for the other porch.
I love these little shingles in the gable!
For the shingles, I watered down black craft paint to use as stain.
I removed the plastic window panes for painting so I need to put those back in yet.
I loved the original color scheme, but I needed to make a few repairs and knew I’d never find paint to match well enough.
Have a great day!

I sure hope you have a granddaughter to share this darling dollhouse with! Your attention to details is amazing!
I agree with Roseanne! A welcome mat, a knocker on the front door and hanging flower baskets on the porch would be adorable. I’m always amazed at your findings such as the porch swing and bench. They’re perfect.
I love your little doll house. Great job on the new paint colors.
Very cute! I love the porch swing. Hugs,
Oh, that our houses renovated so quickly! I love your changes and attention to detail.
Hi Katy! Love seeing these chronicles each week. The porches look inviting although you’ll have to whip up a small welcome mat and door hanging. For the seasons, don’t you think? Ooh, this is just so much fun. ~smile~ Roseanne
Very sharp. I’ve enjoyed seeing all your renovations on this little house.
