The Dressmaker's Cottage Finished: Part 1


I don't think any project is ever 100% finished but I am happy to hand over this one at this point to my daughter!

Let's start with the outside!  This was what it looked like once I had finished the exterior (see the rests of the exterior here).  I had done basic landscaping.




I had paved a path and added a fence and some vines and grass.




Once I had stopped fiddling with the interior, I could add the rest of the landscaping without fear of losing it every time I moved the house, lol (although they are all attached with museum wax!).

The daughter loves her bike, so of course the garden had to have one.  The I added flowers and plants, chair, hat and garden tools, amongst other things.  I love the leaves, although I didn't make them, they came in a set with the rake.

The hydrangea and strawberry are from LoveratsMiniMishmash on Etsy, and the parsley pot is from PinkabellaMinis on Etsy.






























Moving onto the interior!  Here it is all in one shot.




Just the downstairs:



And the upstairs:




The upstairs consists of the bedroom and bathroom.




Here is the Dressmaker's bedroom!  The dressmaker herself is a Heidi Ott doll, in a gorgeous dress and shoes from Into the Blue Couture on Etsy.

The hat is from Mondina Dollhouse on Etsy.



The fur rug, skates and basket are from Minimum World.  My daughter has ice skating lessons each week :-)




The bedspread is from Beautifully Handmade on eBay.  The pillow, tray and rug are from Mondina Dollhouse, and the tea cup with lemon slice from A Lavender Dilly (Etsy).




Her dress has lovely details and does up with teeny tiny buttons in the back!








Here we have the bathroom:








I love the tiny little bottles of nail polish!  So sweet!  The nail polish, hair straightener and hair dryer are from Delph Miniatures.




I'll continue with the downstairs rooms in another post :-)

  1. What an incredibly beautiful and detailed dollhouse! Your daughter must be over the moon!
    Are there plans to do something just as gorgeous for yourself? I hope so!

  2. Thanks again Jodi! Oh I definitely have plans for me, but this was a little out of my comfort zone - I was always a tomboy growing up LOL!

    1. You can always make yourself a treehouse or a workshop. Tomboys are welcome in minis, too! 😊
