New OOAK Tudor Custom Dollhouse For Sale

Today, I'm posting about this house that I was able to build. This is a bashed (edited) Primrose Cottage dollhouse. It's now for sale on eBay.

 🌷🌷 It’s SOLD🌷🌷
Here's the description

Birds & Butterflies are little creatures you'll see peeping around this cute little cottage!

Sometimes, I get so excited about a project when it begins to look like what I saw in my minds eye and this house did not disappoint me. It has been electrified so all of the lights and the outlets work and come on when plugged in (Transformer and lead in wire not included in this auction). The outdoor lamp has pretty red flowers in full bloom with a fluttering butterfly stopping by to taste it's nectar. The flower box under the lower window is also full of flowers.

The roof tiles, stones and brick and even the grassy base are all created using creative paperclay. I hand sculpted and then hand painted each and every shingle, stone & brick various colors to create the realistic & fantastical dream cottage you see pictured right here. Many long hours went into creating this house that can be passed down as a family heirloom 

I made the Wisteria Vine with delicate flower blooms and realistic leaves with branches just like a real one does. There are over 100 tiny colorful flower petals scattered across the front of the yard.  The herringbone brick walkway also add some extra eye candy & charm to this cozy cottage. The upper outside Dormer window  was hand created by me and has a cute bird perched there taking in the beauty around it. The upper walls has stucco with exposed brick peeping through. This Cottage is extremely Charming!

Moving on to the insides of this cottage, there has been things added to customize and add a touch "charm". The wood floors upstairs were painted white and the lower level floor has a stone pattern that was hand cut by me (not real stone). The walls are stucco and trimmed in white wood and there is 2 hanging light fixtures and 1 outlet on each floor.

This was a fun house for me to build. The dream house is 1" scale and the measurements are 14" W x 19"H x 14 1/2" D (including the yard).  This house is 1" scale (1" = 1' scale). Here's the link to the eBay auction:

Building the Greenleaf Pierce Windows & Painting - Day 12

Well, I was so excited to think that maybe, just maybe I would not have to put together the widows that came with the kit. I had decided to upgrade to the wonderful windows that Greenleaf sells for this kit. This was my plan ALL along . I got them in last week and Ohhhhh Noooooo! They are too modern!! I don't know why they did not look modern to me from the picture on the site (Sheesh, I even blew up the picture so I could see the details . The timberbook windows are perfect if you are gonna do anything but a CASTLE theme and I highly recommend them because they will save you time and they are WORKING. Well, After slept on it (to give myself some good ideas) I decided it would be better for me to make my windows and use the diamond printed window inserts that I had made a little bit ago. They turned out wonderful! I am so excited about them too. The kit windows take some time to build because there are 5 pieces for each exterior window & 4 for the interior ones. They really, REALLY look good with this house though. It's amazing how the windows change the look of the house. I can totally see this house complete in my minds eye and I am so anxious to get it done.

At this point, I have used 5 packs of 16 oz paperclay. I added and applique to each side of the stairs and then one above where the circular trim piece fit in. I am not sure if I am going to keep it that color though. I started adding clay to the foundation and then decided to add the base. I don't know why but I am avoiding the start of the shingle process. I guess it is because I want to do square Butt Wood Shingles But then again, I like the Clay ones. Doing the foundation and base gave me more time to think about it.

This is the back roof. I made the roof pointed to match the front one.

Now I paint!

Building The Greenleaf Pierce Outside Clay Stone & Brick - Day 10 -11

The porch roof has been added and it was simple to glue together. I used Quick Grip glue because it has a firm and fast grip on the parts needing to be glued together. The Porch roofs were added before the clay was! I changed the roof to the tower and made it pointed. The clay is drying on this side of the house.

Henry finally started sculpting the stones in the clay. first he put timber up and stained them. Then he started adding the brick & stone look to the clay. We keep telling Henry to please be careful going up and down the ladder!!

I have used 4 packs of 16oz paperclay so far here! Henry had a problem putting in doors and decided to get more help! These are the windows for the dinning room door. Laura, since I know ya like peacocks, I thought I would add a couple here. (It was so cool to find out that me and Lena's mom have SOOOo Much in common, we both love peacocks, and have a lot in common as to style and even personality traits. This was a cool and such a fun project for me)!!

This is Chuck, he installed the porch lights

Henry Really loves his Crew of workers.  Chuck is the young construction worker and the guy with the construction hat on name is Steve. You met young Bobby earlier. Yeap, they are all related.

Building The Greenleaf Pierce - Round Wire Day 9

The roof has been attached without any issues. These wires were fed to the outside walls. Because the wires were too short to reach the base, they had to be lengthened and soldered to the bottom base. Then they were soldered to the tape wire:

I added tape wire to the bottom base (1st floor). I will solder the wires from the lights & outlets to the tape wire.

I soldered all of wires to the strip of tape wire.

This is the attic painted with only one shade of paint so far. Torches has been added:

fireplace is lit too

walls painted

Building The Greenleaf Pierce Tower Day 5-6

This is the Main Tower. I added the Third Floor as you can see in the first picture. It went together very easily. I only had one stubborn tab but I cut it down some so it could fit into the slot. This is totally easy to do with your hobby knife. Notice how the round wire was fed through the outer wall.

Inside Shot 

Now the instructions calls for the back wall (Kitchen wall) to be added. The Kitchen back wall is in. I just need to glue in the crown molding it the top.

The tower in the Living room
This is where one of the window seats will be (I am creating this it is not in the greenleaf instructions it will be shown later) . It will be covered in a burgundy & gold print. This one will be dressed in a plum or purple colored fabric I hope you like this chandelier. I thought the brass looked great with the glass shades

Tower in Attic
This is the tower attic with all the walls in it. It will be hard to add furniture and see into the room

This is the tower with one wall missing on each side. I did not like the fact that it hid the view of most of the room and it will be easier to furnish by removing one wall on each side. Laura, please email me and let me know because it's up to you to make the decision. I was thinking of making a lighted wall torch should go in here since you want a more Castle feel in the attic.

This is Lena's Sewing room
This is the Pink flower vine wall paper you and Lena Picked. I Love this glass globe iron detailed hanging light so much, I bought more. Henry liked the choice you picked for this room.

Bathroom

This is the Bathroom light and wallpaper. The light shade is real glass. The tile floor is white but the wallpaper is green and lavendar stripes. The trim is a very pale lavender. This is Sue stopping in to see the work being done.

Building The Greenleaf Pierce Dollhouse - Day 1

I was asked to build this Pierce Dollhouse that was Created Especially for 8 Year Old Lena who LOVES Purple and Princesses. This Pierce is a loving gift from her parents. This Greenleaf House will become her dream place to be.

These are the two foundation pieces that we must start with. Henry will be helping me assemble this foundation later on. I started assembling the base starting with part number 3. I used tape and Quick Grip glue because it dries faster than wood glue and it holds wood well too.

I had assembled this part wrong. Now I notice that tabs must face upwards:

Henry is the General Contractor managing the building Process. He is making sure that the work is done correctly. Hi There Lena!!

Henry is showing in this picture how you have to add the foundation on top of the first floor. You must align the tabs and press them into place. They kept poping out so Henry decided to add the tape while the glue sets.

Here Henry decided to take these Hooked on phonics Books to help keep the first floor parts in place. I guess Hooked On Phonics Works For Me Too!! Well , Part "A" is not completed. Step "B' will be a Monster to work on but it can be done. It's the winding Stairs. It Looks Fabulous in the pictures I have seen from other people who have built this kit. Talk to you later Lena Dear and have sweet dreams about Your Castle!!

See you next time on Day 2 of the Pierce Greenleaf Dollhouse Build
