Fisherman's Cottage, Miniatures

We recently returned from being out of town for a week and a half.  And I haven’t done a thing with my cottage since purchasing it except stare and dream (and rip up some of the dead grass carpet, wow is that stuff stinky…).

Here it is again it’s current state:

Dollhouse, Fisherman's cottage

I have big plans.  The biggest involves approximately 3,785,342 small popsicle sticks.  It’s going to take a while.  Good thing I have 7 1/2 months.  I will return next week with a guided tour and some of my plans.

So here is my official “entry” for the Undersized Urbanite dollhouse contest.  It’s not really an entry, since I am not eligible to win, and it will be removed from the list before the judges begin deliberating.

The contest is now open for you to join too!  Just go here whenever you’re ready.  We have a couple entries so far and can’t wait to see more!

    I get why you really can’t be an official entry, but I think it’s a bummer that you can’t win either. It’s awesome how you’re just as into this challenge as all of the entrants are-it’s such a fun hobby. Looking forward to seeing this little house transform into something amazing.

    I’m running late too. I’m entering, but my internet access was cut off today by a tree down the road, just got back online, but my first post has to be pushed back to later this week now. Off to a great start, aren’t we?

    Oh! a fisherman’s cottage! This is going to be so much fun following your progress. Actually, the first floor looks a lot like my cottage used to look a long time ago: a corridor and rooms on each side of it!

      Yes! I was thinking of your kitchen when trying to create a new floor plan for the mini house last night. 🙂

    I’m excited to see you build alongside us nonetheless. I can’t wait to see what you do with those 3,785,342 popsicle sticks.

      I’m not really looking forward to that part, but I’m very much looking forward to the end result of it.

We can't count how many locals came into this house and mentioned that those windows should be removed and walled up and the beams cut off. And then it would be a "normal" house. 🤯

We're getting back into the house restoration and we'll be working on the powder room in the master bed. 
Guys. It's bad. Swipe to see.
And we're going to try to make it pretty with a super tiny budget of $100 in 4 weeks and we're joining the #100roomchallenge to keep us (me) motivated.
