The bathroom got small details like towels hanging on hooks, a bathmat, a hand towel on the sink, and toilet paper hanging from the side of the sink cabinet.
The little vintage baby got her molded clothes painted.
In the bedroom, I added a table/nightstand with a lamp made from a hardware connector and the seal from a bottle cap shaped just like a lamp shade.
In the living room, I added an ottoman (made from the cap I took the seal from), flowers on the dining table, a Christmas tree on the corner table (the dollhouse is a Christmas gift), a bundt cake on the counter, and a vintage poodle.
The exterior got a few more flowers and a flag. I am so happy with how this all turned out. I will probably update my stone cottage just a bit. You always learn a little more with each successive project - one of the extra benefits of making miniatures. :-)

All but the details
I added a small English country garden to the front of the commission cottage. I like it so much that I think I will have to make a flower garden for my cottage.
The floral colors are all sort of red, white and blue - at least shades of those colors - to coordinate with the interior colors.
The couch and chair were made with coordinating fabrics from cardboard and foam core. The corner covered table is a pill dessicant capsule. The coffee table was made with bits of a carved fan, plastic, and a scrap of wood for the brace. The wall decor was done with scrapbook stickers.
I really didn't like the bed I had planned to use so I ripped off the head and foot boards and added porch posts and a piece from a coffee cup sleeve to make the four poster bed. Now I love it. The crib has bedding in the same floral fabrics as the bed. The dresser mirror is a piece of mirrored poster board framed with a scrapbook frame.
Another sticker over the crib....
The bathroom sink/vanity got a skirt to hide the "pipes" and a poster board mirror.
The ivy in the garden winds around the side of the house.
I still need to do the finishing details - curtains, towels and toilet paper, more art...etc. I will post final photos when I am certain I'm finished. It's a commission so I do have a time frame, lol.

Just need to plant the grass
And the flower garden and the exterior of the cottage will be finished. The roof didn't photograph in true color because the "tin" scrapbook paper is shiny. But you can see the rust and get a feel for how it looks in person.
I really like how the shingled dormers turned out - but, really, what was I thinking?! I hate shingling and then I had all those angled ends to cut. ;-)
I haven't decided exactly how I'll do the garden/yard but I have some thoughts. I may let those thoughts percolate a bit and get busy on the interior furnishings. Stay tuned!

All in a day's work
I only got the stone on the front but had to shade and seal it because I couldn't wait. ;-) I'm planning to landscape the base on this one. A bit of grassy lawn and flowers, I think. I am debating putting shingles in the dormers. The roof will be corrugated tin with a bit of rust.
I like the tile floor. It adds much needed color to the bathroom. I'm going to add a little fabric curtain to the sink cabinet.
I had to piece the ceiling/bathroom floor so it gave me a great opportunity for beams.
