Westville Dollhouse

I decided to do some research and find some information about Mr Arthur's house. It turns out that it is the "Westville" by Greenleaf.

It was purchased about seventeen years ago at a garage sale for $15. The cottage had been roughly assembled with hot glue, and most of the trim was either missing or damaged. It sat around for a long time in its broken down state. Renovations began recently, and inspiration for the exterior facade came from an incredible miniature artist, the late Pam Throop. 

Here is a picture of what the Westville generally looks like.

Here is Mr Arthur's new house. 

The triangular shaped bay in front was changed into a rectangular one, and a dormer was added over the porch roof.

 Scrap wood was used for the timbers, and tissues were glued in between to imitate stucco.

 The front step and the stone facade were made from paper mache painted with acrylic paint.

The porch was  enclosed and the windows on the right side of the house were eliminated. The chimney and fireplace were made from left over plywood, covered with wire and paper mache.

Mr Arthur has signed all the papers and he is now, the new owner of this property. Just a few more upgrades and this house is move in ready.

Cheerio,
Isabelle
