East Main street Victorian Dollhouse

This is the East Main Street Victorian Dollhouse. After the Palm Island house we have returned from island  living and are back on the mainland.
   This is that charming house on Main St. USA, that you drive by everyday. The one that you slow down to see. The house is always perfect, fresh looking, and the gardens are perpetually in full bloom. This is the head turner, the house that makes you smile, take a breath,as you pause to capture all the beauty, if only for a few moments as you pass by. I think we have all experienced a house like this, almost storybook like with it's gingerbread trim and shutters. We wonder how it always seems so perfect, as if by magic, with little of no effort involved. We imagine who must live there, or perhaps imagine ourselves in such a perfection and beauty. This is the image I wanted to create with this house. Just a beautiful dollhouse on Main St..

The house is painted a lovely sky blue color, and the trim is a crisp clean, soft yellow. This is a perfect pallet for all the garden flowers to be enjoyed to their fullest! Every subtle tone in the garden is enhanced against these background colors.

Let's have a peek inside before we explore the gardens.

The front door has a design of delicate flowing vine with pink flowers and two hummingbirds in a slight blue tone are exploring them.

Moving up to the second floor, the quite elegant blue color , and earth tones move through the house.

3rd floor

The octagon window in this room is also a stained glass effect, with a design in a slightly stronger blue to contrast . There are also gold tones that give the room a warm cast when the light comes in.

Butterflies are attracted to the huge variety of flowers in bloom, and birds are always welcome.

Notice the tiny lavender butterfly on the ivory rose?

The gazing ball! My grandparents had one of these in the middle of a large flower bed. I assume the mirror finish is to reflect and magnify the look of the blooms in it's reflection.
