Abbys Dollhouse
Here is the front of the house. It measures 24" wide x 16" high x 12" deep. I installed 4 pillars on the front to make it more colonial looking. I used 1/2" birch for the body, and poplar for the trimwork.
Side views...
With my router lettering template, I routed her name into the front of the house before I assembled the front panel...
I hinged the front door so it opens. I used my scroll saw to make a rough shape of a heart, and then finished carving it by hand. I installed it as a door handle. Here you can also see the shutters...
At the top of each pillar, I installed some scrolly type trim, just to dress it up...
Here is a picture of the backside. It is a 2 story house, complete with windows and staircase. I trimmed out all of the unfinished ends in poplar.
I cut the stair stringers with the scroll saw. The stringers are correct in the aspect that they are built the same as in a normal house, with the proper rise and run for the height given. I then cut each stair tread to fit, and trimmed the opening at the top.
Its now time to paint the house. Abby has requested pink, purple, and white (although I am debating over the purple). Ill take some finished photos before I give it to her. Im sure itll become a chick sorority house soon...
