Real water in my country dollshouse





I wrote a little reportage "How to assembly a dollshouse" for the German dollshouse magazine 1zu12. It is the story of my country dollshouse. I started my hobby as a little girl...
As a child I had also a wooden dollshouse (a second hand house by my cousin) but I prefer to built my own houses from cardboard boxes....
Later I saw the delprado dollshouse on tv and decided to buy it (thanks to ebay so the price was o.k.). The quality of the house was a catastrophe!!!
So I decided to buy a new one for 39 US$.

For my country house I used a lot of delprado parts: handles, hinges, window dormer, the armchair in the living room. I made my timber wood from the delprado dollshouse (I cut all the terrible wood in small piece!).......

The house was not very big so I decided also to build a little garden, a barn.....

I had so much ideas for the house but I wanted to have something specail for my dollshouse. My idea was to create something with water. At christmas time I saw a little fountain in a D.I.Y. shop!!!!! It was a fountain for a crèche.
So I built a little barn and put the fountain in one of the walls. In the barn is also the transformer of the dollshouse. I put the switch power strip into the chimney.
The country dollshouse is my first house which I assembled.

  1. I really love your house, how clever to use the chreche fountain. I can't believe it is the first house you assembled
