I picked up a craft mitre box and saw yesterday and set out to frame some images for my dollhouse. I local artist paints the tiniest pictures called, Paintings for Hummingbirds. These images were notecards she was selling but they are life-size! Anyhow… I will paint the frames eventually I was just too excited to get some initial framing done. 
(One of my goals this spring is to paint the dollhouse itself. Please ignore the chipped paint and bare wood. )

I want to believe this is a dollhouse, but I can’t!
I found it this summer for $25! It’s in rough shape but I scooped it up without a second thought for that price. I have done nothing to the house itself, yet. This year I intend to sand it down, prime it, and get to painting. I am letting the kids play in it for now and am squirreling away the really delicate miniature bits. I see this as a many years project. I hope that one day I can share it with my grandkids.

That’s an amazing find! Looks like it is a custom designed doll house and not a kit!! Lots of inspiration and possibilities! 
It is completely custom. I cut out bits of plastic to temporarily cover all the windows and there are at least four different sizes on the long rectangular ones alone. lol. Clearly I will need to learn basic glass cutting and stained glass work if I eventually want them all done properly. The plastic is neccessary because the dollhouse sits next to my large finch cage (the room is pretty full) and fills the house with bird seed otherwise. lol

That dollhouse is surely a find, great for you. And using the card for the dollhouse is so clever, love it. Also, that is a renovation project, no need to ignore the rough state of the house, we are all diy people, I’m sure I’m not the on my one who would love to get my hands on that
