Cynthia's made this lovely miniature house from a kit called the Orchid by Greenleaf dollhouses.
In Cynthia's words
"In my mind, this cottage is most likely sitting on a beautiful piece of property on the Island of Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard. She provides weekends away with best girlfriends and romantic vacations for me and my sweetheart :) She's tiny, but all our needs are met here. That's the simple version of what "Summer Rose" means to me."
Though I'd already posted about Cynthia's miniatures, I just couldn't resist pictures of her
Summer Rose cottage. Its' the most charming cottage that ever was - with every little detail perfect - dinner out on the table, dishes in the sink, enticing dishes of macarron and other delicacies, floor rugs, mats, softy-plumpy sofas, elegant vintage chairs and other knickknacks and best of all a lovely cosy-cosy bed to sink into at the end of a long dolly day!
creams, whites and soft pinks for a feminine, romantic tea setting
Love the China hutch with the cake, utensils, books, teapot...everything so homey and yet so divine
Fresh laundry with the scent of lavender - a scent of delight for every homemaker
Dishes in the sink - detergent, soap, tea towel to the rescue
Love the little blackboard menu over the oven
Nothing better than a plate of cupcakes nestling next to a vase of lilies
Vintage cookbooks - a must to make dishes the way grandmama did
What kitchen can be complete without canned pickles in stock?
A warm cosy fireplace for those winter nights
Candle-lit dinner with just the family. So love the gingham seat covers and the carpet with red ticking
Cynthia's love for the artwork of Susan Branch is reflected in this little painting
Chintz armchair, footstool, and fire logs...what more does one need for comfort?
Love the feminine details like the hatbox and flower vase in the bathroom
And then we come to the bedroom
We kick off our shoes and sink into a nice, warm bed and off to build castles in the air in doll-land!!
