A few friends of mine have been teasing me with their dollhouse makeovers. All their chatter got me interested, so I had to play along with them. Today I am going to share my Dollhouse made from Crates! I am hooked on miniatures!

How to make a Dollhouse with Crates

This is a one room makeover, after I attached the crates, I decided to work on one of my favorite areas in my own home. The dining and outdoor space.

I used 3 crates (purchased at Michael’s), a smaller one on the top. I wanted to add an outdoor area to my dining loft.

  • Make cuts with a jig saw for window and door openings. (I still need to trim them out.)
  • Stack the crates and glue together with wood glue. Use clamps to secure until dry.
  • You can add more crates as the collection grows 😉 or if you realize you don’t have space for a bathroom!

The addition of the pergola and grass came next.

  • The pergola is made from square dowels and the grass is sheet moss. I used my hot glue gun for all the construction. (Dowels are from Lowe’s)
  • I added flowers and vines.
  • Lantern hung with wire.
  • Grill, dog food/water, water hose, flowers and vine are from Michaels
  • Murphy dog is from Hobby Lobby

  • Flooring is a place mat – cut to fit and paint.
  • Wall covering is fabric. I used spray glue and attached it to card stock. I can change the floor and the walls easily. I didn’t make them permanent.

All the furniture is from my friend Jeanie – they have been stored in same shoe box they were in the day she gave them to me… 3 years ago! I took this as a sign that I needed a dollhouse.

If you’re wondering – yes I have an obsession – I find myself looking at miniatures way too much. These rooms are so much easier to makeover than my own.

    2. Your dollhouse is so darn cute Debbie!

      I have never, ever wanted a dollhouse, not even as a child. lol

      Jamie (my daughter), on the other hand has wanted to decorate one for a long, long time. 🙂 She’s currently too busy decorating her new home lately.

      super cute, and my favorite part? Murphy, of course! No blog post is complete without her sweet face.

    6. I love the pergola! It just goes with the whole crate vibe so well, and you have it all decked out so prettily. I need to grab a few of those lemonades for myself! Will your dollhouse have a bedroom?

    7. Oh Deb! It is over the moon adorable! So creative. I can’t wait to see the rest. It’s so stinkin cute I want one. Years ago I built one when we were first married. It was a huge Victorian that took me forever. When we moved I gave it to my Mom. She used to decorate it per season and it was so pretty.

    8. It is AWESOME!!!! What do I love the most…. lets see, oh maybe the fan? Maybe the map wall hanging, or possibly the arrow? I love it all, so I’ve gotta do some pinning.
