New walls going in
This part took longer than it looks.
Which is annoying.
But also fine.

When I embarked on making my own drywall for the dollhouse, I realized how much patience and precision was needed. Unlike regular home renovations, working on miniatures demands extra care because even small imperfections become visible. I found that sourcing the right materials that could mimic real drywall texture on a tiny scale was the biggest challenge. Using lightweight foam board combined with fine sanding techniques worked best for me, allowing me to create thin walls that are sturdy yet easy to handle. Painting the walls with matte acrylics helped achieve an authentic look without the sheen that real drywall paint often has. It’s important to allow ample drying time before assembling to avoid warping. Another aspect that took longer than expected was cutting and fitting each wall perfectly into place. Since dollhouses have much smaller dimensions, measurements need to be exact, and any slight deviation can affect the overall structure. I recommend using a metal ruler and sharp hobby knife to ensure clean cuts. Overall, this process taught me the importance of patience and embracing imperfections as part of the handmade charm. If you’re considering similar dollhouse renovations, plan for extra time and experiment with materials—creating your own 'drywall' can be incredibly rewarding and adds a personal touch to your miniature interiors.
