Time for a quick update on your progress for the dollhouse contest! 

I’m having so much fun watching what all of you are creating.  And some of you are getting it done so fast.  Mine is still gutted.  Actually, it’s even more gutted than the last time I showed you.  I’ll post an update on my progress soon as well. 

Houses:

Mama's Minis 1/4 scale and Qs Tudor

Rebecca’s 1/4 scale | Q’s tudor

Can’t get over how tiny Rebecca’s (Mama’s Minis) new house is.  So. Cute.  And I love the Tudor trim on Q’s cottage (she has some really cute stuff going on on the inside too!). 

Architectural details:

Lyssa’s dollhouse book nook and Kyle’s egg carton stone wall

Lyssa’s book nook | Kyle’s egg carton stone wall

Lyssa’s book nook is just amazing, I can’t wait to see it filled with teeny-tiny books.  And Kyle had a brilliant idea to cut up egg cartons to make a faux stone facade.  The texture looks perfect. 

Accessories:

Linda's dollhouse accessories

Linda’s printed rug and plants

Linda has lots of really cool little projects going on, with instructions too. 

Oh, and The Dolls’ House Magazine wrote a very nice little post about the contest yesterday! Read it here.

If you’re participating, how is your project coming along?  Are you happy with it so far?  Think you’ll have enough time to finish? 

(If you’d like to see more, all of the participants and their blogs are listed on this page.)

    When it rains it pours. What an electrical pain. So sorry. Dining room you say?? I have the same problem, I start a new project before finishing the last WAY too often. Good luck on all of your projects and take your time, we’re not going anywhere. 😀

    I love that someone is doing a 1/4 scale build! Those houses are the best. 🙂 Thanks for featuring my book nook. I am making that thing up as I go, so it’s really great that everyone seems to like it so much. 🙂

House update! The realtor is still confused about House update! The realtor is still confused about why "it's such a popular house." When she arrived yesterday for a showing, there were 8 cars in the driveway. 😃

We had three offers the first day, one of whom hadn't even seen the house in person yet.
Surprise! The house is going on the market today. Surprise! The house is going on the market today. (Long story that I'll fill you in on when I have more than 2 seconds.)

But we're once again with a realtor that calls our house "unique" instead of calling it a Mid Century Modern. 🤦‍♀️
.
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. 🤯

Still can't really identify with people in this area. 🤷‍♀️ SO happy to be going back home to the East coast TOMORROW!

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.
