Kellee's Mini Kreations
Happy New Year to Everyone.! Today is the start of my new blog. I may not get to write everyday but I will do my best. This blog will capture a lot about my miniatures and dollhouses. I will share what I am working on from kit houses, built from scratch to rehab houses. I will share my many accessories, and furniture building. I would love to learn several things this year, needle felting, foods from polymer clay, making furniture, and making dolls are among a few things I want to learn this year. I love miniatures and do alot of rehabbing of old dollhouses that need alot of TLC. I will share some tips I have learned along the way with miniatures and dollhouse building.!

The Heritage Dollhouse by DuraCraft
A wonderful Mini Friend gave this dollhouse to me a few years ago. It was half completed when I received it. I disassembled the house down to the foundation. Repainted Everything, Stained all the floors, Wallpapered all the rooms. In this Picture the shingles have not yet been done... They are done now so I need to get a new photo. !
This is the Heritage how it arrived... I just LOVED the colors.!! First thing that came to me was a dollhouse shop.... because of the downstairs wallpaper border. There were alot of gaps, between the walls and Foundation. I repaired all the gaps and the house is on its way to being Beautiful.!
I kept the original wallpaper and border in the Living & Dining Rooms.
Well, I had to break up the two bedrooms somehow...

My Dollhouses
The First Dollhouse I would like to tell you about is the Fisher Price Dollhouse. I received this dollhouse as a Christmas Present from my Nanny & Grandpa when I was a child. I still have this house and all the furniture. This house is very dear to me, when I was a child I can remember my Grandfather and I playing with the house.
The First Dollhouse I built was a kit house called The Ashley. The Ashley was made by DuraCraft. The Ashley I built for my Mother. I added a cute little front yard to the house. My Mother never had her own home, She lived with my Grandparents and cared for them until they went to Heaven. Since then she has lived in an Apartment, stayed with my Husband & I and now she is back in her own Apartment. A very beautiful senior apartment complex. She never had her own House. So this one is like her own little cottage.
The Heritage Dollhouse by DuraCraft was my first rehab. Wow, was it a mess. The foundation was not lined up and had big gaps in it. I took this house completely apart and redone it. It is now sitting in my Dining Room.
The Newburg by DuraCraft I built from the kit. Very lovely house and an easy build. This was another house for my Mother. She picked the colors for the exterior and interior paper. The Furniture was the main reason for building this house. We had made a trip to the Jefferson outlet mall and stopped in at the Bombay shop. They had dollhouse furniture on clearance, we spent way too much money but had a great time. She had to have a house to put all the furniture in.!
Victorias Farmhouse by Real Good Toys... I am still working on this one slowly.! It is made of MDF, I have made few changes to this house, which is called kit bashing. This house is a beautiful farmhouse.
My oldest son & I built a log cabin from DuraCraft in 2004. It was so much fun to work on. It is made of real wood, and is just beautiful.! We are still putting finishing touches on this one...
I built a Barn for my youngest son in 2003, He loves horses and needed a home for his Breyer horses. He still has this barn in his bedroom. We are still adding finishes touches to this one as well.!
The Tiffany house kit, my oldest son found at a yard sale and bought it for me. He was about 8 years old. I started building it as a Christmas shoppe. Before I could get the pieces glued together my oldest son took the pieces, traced them and asked me to cut them out of luan. I did and the boys built a Haunted House from those pieces.!
The 4 in 1 kit by Artply. This kit has 4 different fronts to make a Church, Schoolhouse, Firehouse or General Store. I had wanted a General Store for a long while... so I built this kit as the General store.... added a staircase on the outside that leads to a efficiency apartment for he owner.
The Adobe is a Scratch built house that is based on a kit. This dollhouse is built from Aspen wood. It was damaged in our move to our house several years ago.... I need to repair the pieces that were destroyed.
A Frame dollhouse is a scratch built house made from Plywood. It is a BIG house. This is a rehab project.
I have 2 Pierce dollhouses, both are rehab projects. The Pierce I is probably in the worst shape. The Pierce II is in a little better condition but both still need ALOT of work.!
The Saloon is a house shell I picked up from Freecycle. I am not sure what the original owner had in mind when they started it but It reminds me of a saloon.The downstairs area will be a bar area with a staircase leading upstairs. Since there is an upstairs with 2 windows overlooking the patio, there will be a brothel upstairs. Yep, I said Brothel. lol; I am hoping to make 2 Ladies for the brothel... I have never tried making dolls so it may turn out rather interesting.. The Saloon will be made of luan. I am stil working on names for the buisness.! :)
