Those of you who follow this blog know that my newest passion
is tweaking dollhouse miniatures. On Saturday my "sister" Robin
The Decorating Tennis Girl (no she's not really my sister, but that's
another post) were looking online at real estate in Rockport, Texas and
Tybee Island, GA from the comfort of our little cottages in Idaho and
Illinois. We were emailing links to each other of some of our
favorites when I suddenly thought ~ why not create my own mini
beach cottage???
I took a miniature mahogany stained buffet and painted it, shabbied it up and let
my imagination fly. I grabbed my polymer clay and created a little platter and
some starfish too. After they baked in the oven and cooled, I painted a fish
on the platter.
I used a mini chalkboard over the buffet in place of a mirror or
painting. Oh and I lined all of the drawers with this cute
aqua and white dotty fabric.
Here is one of my starfish and that little screened door I showed
you the other day.
A little burlap throw rug. Be sure to shake the sand off your
feet before entering ;-)
Can't you just feel the ocean breeze?

Bentley ~ just think of all the money we saved your daddy by
creating our own mini beach cottage! We are always thinking
of ways to keep him happy ~ don't you agree? Bentley is
nodding yes. Really he is!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this ~ how cute and the colours are just fabulous. Everything just says Let's go to the beach~!
ReplyDeleteI just love the aqua. You are so talented
Adorable mini beach cottage decor! I agree, what a great way to save money...just build a mini version. My hubby would love that way of thinking. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe attention to detail is wonderful. Love the color, just to cute!
ReplyDeleteSqueal! Absolutely darling. The colors are just perfect. I have a beach-themed sunroom that might need a mini beach cottage. Keep the ideas coming.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I'm lovin' anything turquoise these days, so I really want your minis in full-size somewhere in my home!
ReplyDeleteoh what fun ! I still have itty bitties waiting to be painted. (())
ReplyDeleteSo cute ! Love the fresh colour ! I can see your having fun with it all ! Thanks for sharing . Have a great day !
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo adorable! Honestly, from the first picture I didn't even see that it was a miniature until I started reading.

Are you building a beach house to go with the furniture that would be fun.
ReplyDeleteMerle.....
Love the getaway!! You are escaping to the beach in your own way! That's probably the only way I'd ever have a beach house. LOL

I can not believe the detail you do with your miniatures. The beach theme is so cute. I can not wait to see what is next.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you can't get to the beach, or get away cottage, CREATE YOUR OWN, just like you do. Really cool idea.
ReplyDeleteoh CRAP i forgot to shake off the sand...do you have a broom ? So sorry...next time I'll remember! Meanwhile I love this and that is why I got all excited and forgot to wipe my feet!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever. I totally adore all of your creations. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI love everything, but the beach sign is such a simple yet effective idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's miniature? How fun! And yes, I feel right at home with it; it's very beachy. Love the screen door. Too cute.
