Our Own Personal Fairy Dollhouse Being Built

After months of "bugging" the kids and I started their fairy house....We got this old Victorian dollhouse from someone's garage!  It was in rough shape and would not be a very good house for someone who wanted to do it the traditional way.  Luckily for us, we are happy to "rough it up" and it's easy to hide the uneven & sloppy construction under bark, twigs & pinecones!  Ryan loved staining it and we'll keep posting our progress.

Ryan is busy at work staining the house!

The attic is the "boy" fairies room!  Complete with star gazing ceiling & birds nest bed.

Using at least 4 different types of bark it took over 5 hours to do the roof.

Pinecones have been added to the top of one roof, the bark is done, green grasses have been added for texture & color and we've made shutters out of some willowy, dried fall flowers.
