About this Product
Welcome to Rabbit Chateau
Hidden in the heart of the meadow, the Rabbit Château stands tall beneath the ferns, its soft glow guiding tiny woodland guests home at dusk. This cozy mushroom house is where the rabbits host their famous moonlight tea parties, complete with dandelion cakes and berry punch. Every window glimmers with laughter, and its warm little candlelight makes it feel like spring never ends.
A cozy handmade mushroom house crafted from real dried gourds and designed to warm up any woodland-inspired space. With its earthy orange rooftop, soft glow, and carved windows, this whimsical little home is perfect for lovers of forest creatures, fairycore decor, and unique handmade treasures.
The gourd base is carved with tiny windows that allow candlelight to shine through, creating a soft and inviting glow. Layered gourd caps form the roof, hand-stained in a beautiful earth-tone orange that complements the natural texture of the gourd shell. A real gourd stem remains attached to the top, adding a rustic, organic detail that makes the piece feel like it was plucked straight from an enchanted forest.
Each house in the collection is one-of-a-kind, and Rabbit Chateau is no exception. Whether placed on a bookshelf, nestled in a plant corner, or used as a soft-glowing night light, this little chateau is full of woodland personality and charm.
Candle Included!
Your Rabbit Chateau includes a battery-operated LED candle with a 6-hour timer. Just switch it on once at dusk, place your mushroom house over the top, and enjoy the gentle glow. The candle shuts off automatically and lights up again each evening—like magic—so you can set it and forget it.

Welcome! I love creating uniquely rustic pieces for your home. I work with real dried gourds for your tabletop decorating and reclaimed wood for your wall decor. I am happy to customize when I can so please reach out if you have a creative idea you'd like to work on together.
Meet the Maker
Hello friends! My name is Christy and l welcome you to my shop :)
In my handmade shop, I feature unique pieces of home decor that add a little rustic and a little whimsy to your home.
I began my handmade journey of wood-burning artwork on reclaimed wood. The beautiful brown color in my artwork is created with pyrography, "drawing with fire". It is the perfect complement to the reclaimed wood that I use to create rustic wall hangings. All the artwork is wood-burned by hand, using pyrography tools.
When I discovered the incredibly versatile dried gourds, it was love at first sight! I instantly added them to my creative routine. I've always adored pumpkin carving, and here was a similar natural vegetable that will for many years without the shelf life of a fresh pumpkin. The dried gourd shells are very hard and perfect for carving and pyrography!
I use the gourds to create whimsical fall pumpkin characters with a ton of personality. I also enjoy turning the gourds into decorative bowls, vases, and vessels. Each gourd shape is unique, so each gourd piece is a one-of-a-kind!

How it’s Made
I create these whimsical mushroom houses from varies pieces of gourds.
Stacked gourd caps form the layered, whimsical rooftops, and each roof still has its natural gourd stem attached, adding a rustic and organic finishing touch.
The "roof" tops are carved with extra texture for detail.
I use translucent stains and wax to enhance the gourd shell.
Perched on the side of the house, you’ll find a tiny handmade house sign labeled “Rabbit Chateau”, crafted from a real piece of birch bark and suspended from a twisted wire wood branch—a sweet detail that completes the storybook charm

Commonly Asked Questions
1. Can I order a customized gourd character? Yes! I am happy to work with you on a personalized gourd for you. Just reach out and we can chat about your idea.
2. Can I order the hats separately? Not at this time. I use the coordinating gourd top to make the hat base. So the gourd top/hat fits the gourd exactly. I am contemplating making hats separately. Let me know if this might be a good idea... I'd love your input!
3. Can I use the gourds to decorate outside? These gourds are dried, but I wouldn't recommend letting them get wet with the weather elements. It's best to keep these as "indoor gourds".
4. Can I name my gourd? Sure! If you would like to name a gourd just let me know. This would fall into a custom piece, so I would just need a week or so to create this gourd for you.
5. Are there additional charges for custom gourds? This depends on the request. Please just send me a note with your request and I can let you know.
