This is the Beeches. The outside of this house
has been painted and papered with brick and tile paper to
create a brick effect. If you look at the front of this
house you can see that the lower portion of the house is
white. This is painted with textured paint to create a rough
external effect.
The brick effect on the house is created with
brick paper which is stuck in place with wallpaper paste.
The same with the tile effect on the roof this is created
with tile paper.

by simply using paint and dolls house papers.
If you don't fancy papering the exterior of
your dolls house you could just paint it. You can create a
very nice looking dolls house with different colour paints.
This house is decorated with paint and looks very effective.
A few flowers around the door complete the cottage look.
If you are feeling adventurous you could try
cladding the outside of your dolls house with brick slips.
Brick-slips are slithers of brick that when stick to the outside
of a dolls house give it a very authentic brick effect. You
can make these yourself by cutting bricks using a specialized
electric saw or tile cutter by making a mold and casting with
plaster. You can also purchase these but this can be an expensive
