Once is Not Enough... Recycle


This doll house came to my door as a gift box for an orchid
The first thing I did was put in two cardboard shelves
(I haven't figured out the roof just yet)


I painted quite a few layers of pink to cover the box
and then used a piece of cardboard 
to mark the door and windows on the sides


I haven't done much to the insides as yet
just a few embellishments from more of the cardboard
and some pieces I had lying around as temporary furniture


This is very much a work-in-progress
and I'm in discussions with my nieces about the future decor
we plan to continue the recycled theme

When I was little I would always recycle my boxes to make my own doll houses..I ended up having quite a few of them too, ha ha. :)
Yours is so cute!

Oh how cute! What a lovely house. I always used to recycle old lids and cereal boxes for my dolls houses! x

Can you believe it's my very first one?
I always loved teddy bears more than dolls and they thought doll houses were beneath them :-)

Re furniture I can only hint that I have a butter spread that looks very much like a bath...
