This upcycled dollhouse project was fun! And hard work, but all worth it since it will be enjoyed for a long time(hopefully)!
On to the “finale”- the reveal!
The house got “walls” inside, for this reason: it makes the rooms more defined. I originally did wanted to add inside walls, but the cardboard walls did not work(kept bending), so these fabric ones work better. I made it removable so Lella can take it off if she wants too. Basically the walls are just fabric hung over jewelery wire, glue dots keep the fabric together.
Then I added curtains to the front so it can be closed up when not played with. (We have a toddler brother in the house, so what he can’t see, he can’t wreck, lol!)
Laced curtaining with a butterfly motif was hung with stretch wire. I attached hooks to the sides, so one could take it out of the way when opened and played with.
This will serve as a dollhouse for now, but it has a chair and a mirror too, for later when L is a bit bigger and wants to use it as a desk or vanity table.

Hi Nadia,
I love your up cycled Dollhouse and plan on doing something similar when my granddaughter visits this month I’ve been able to find all the how to’s for the dollhouse except #2 dining room.
When I access it I get sent to #7 The Outside…searched your site and it states nothing can be found for #2 dining room..Do you have a solution for this particular problem? Would like to see house you did your dining room and your suggestions.Thanks for you time and effort in trying to solve the mystery of the missing dining room.
Hi Diane! Thanks for letting me know! Let me see what is going on…
The first two posts headings are a different spelling of dollhouse, it is under upcycled doll house #1, and upcycled doll house #2. Apologies for the confusion!
Wow! I will propose project to my husband as we enjoy playing dolls with my daughter
