A Hand Painted Folk Art Dollhouse

This is a dollhouse kit that I built and hand painted in the Folk Art theme. Almost all of my dollhouses that I make have a specific theme or idea behind them. I like to think they tell a story.

The house was built before any painting was done. This can make it more difficult to reach some areas for painting, but it is the way I prefer to work.

This picture shows the front door and porch area. I painted a
welcome sign above the door and roses on the porch area.
You can see some details and shading that make it more realistic.

A little closer view of the front door and porch area.

And even closer, you can see the pretty roses and shading on the porch posts.

Looking inside the living room you will see that I painted a wall paper
