Dollhouse Construction in Progress


Welcome to our family room ~ aka the Texas Rosebud Cottage Construction 
site.  The room is a mess right now.  Perforated sheets of plywood stacked
on TV trays, instructions and blueprints everywhere.  The dollhouse
construction is in full swing.  We started yesterday afternoon.  David
is the construction superintendent.  I am in charge of sanding and
painting.



Y'all this is real life. No staging.  I don't dare touch anything at this
station unless I have permission from the boss.





This is the sanding and painting station.  Notice the coffee mug and a 
remote.  Of course the television has been on all throughout this 
process but the boss has the master remote because well he is
 the boss.  He also gets jumpy if the remote is not near reach.
What can I say ~ it's a guy thing.



Back in this section of the family room ~ we lovingly call it our library,
is a tole tray on the ottoman that is now the completed window station.  



This is David's area.  His Exacto knife and next panels ready to cut.




Baggies filled with little pieces that fell out of the box.  Can't lose anything.



Bentley is bored with this project and has tossed his "hot dog" squeaky
toy up on the table.  He's hoping maybe we will notice and ditch this 
project to play with him.   



Construction began yesterday afternoon.  I better get used to the 
family room looking like this because I think that we will be working
on this for a while.  Stay tuned ~ I will keep you updated.


Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  2. This looks exciting! I love dollhouses. I tried that once and I got it together but never fully decorated then gave it to a niece. Good luck with yours.

  4. I started one a long time ago and gave up - I didn't have a construction boss. How funny that Bentley threw his hot dog on the coffee table. He is feeling neglected and wants your attention.
    Have fun, I'm sure it will be very beautiful when it's finished.
