The Girl's Bedroom
|
|
 |
There are 3 tiny dollhouses in this room. I think there is room for more :-). I inserted little lights in 2 of the dollhouses. When I rewired the dollhouse, after 10 years of darkness, I was absolutely enchanted with the lights. Every night when it got dark, I would turn out the lights and plug in the dollhouse, and sit there just looking at it. |
|
The little dolls on the bed and chair are from the cake decorating
shop, a good place to find inexpensive minis. I added the hair and
the dresses. |

The Wardrobe
I have made a few clothes for the wardrobe,the plan is to add more. So far there is a dress (made from an old hankie), a housecoat, a nightie, and a pants and top outfit. The little white sneakers come from a Dollar store, they are meant to be a charm for cellphone cases.The slippers and the red shoes are my own creations. The slippers are made from just card stock and 'fluff' from chenille pipe cleaners. The red shoes are made from polymer clay. It is funny. but certainly true, that we can see our mistakes in a photograph even though we haven't noticed before, when I look at this ballerina dress now I can see that the straps are a too long. Another little job I will have to get to.

I thought this was an armoire when I received it for Christmas a few years ago.I have always used it as bedroom furniture. More recently I have seen it listed on ebay as a kitchen piece. There is no room in the kitchen for it, so it is still a bedroom piece to me. |

The wallpaper for the girl's bedroom is floral 31 and can be can be found on my wallpaper printables website. |

The Master Bedroom
I wish that the curtains had shown better in the photograph. They are made from very old lace. My cousin, Diane, gave me the lace about 7 years ago. I was afraid to cut into before, in case I messed up and ruined it. I finally took the plunge and the lace curtains look so pretty. I had enough left to also use it on the bedskirt. |

The dresser in the master bedroom is a little miniature remembrance of my parents. The
framed photos are of Mum and Dad. The tiny bone china flower 'ornaments'
used to be my Mum's earrings. The African violet I made out of polymer
clay, the flower pot is another thimble from my Mum's collection.
I used to have these accessories on the taller dresser
(see above pic).When I got the new little vanity, I moved the taller
dresser to the back of the dollhouse bedroom, leaving the photos of
my parents as they were. Strangely, every time I looked into the room,
the photo of Mum was on the floor. After this happened about a dozen
times, I decided that Mum didn't like being in the back of the room
so I moved the pieces to the new vanity dresser, and have had no more
problems.

Another strange happening in the Dollhouse Master Bedroom I dressed the dollhouse beds as part of the 2008 dollhouse renovations. The master bedroom bed was tricky because I had to match an orange and navy blue rug. I eventually found some orangey silk for the bedspread (See picture below left), however there was something missing, it was too plain, and I couldn't find a solution to that for several weeks.I inherited all of my Mum's sewing supplies, Mum never threw out anything that might be reused, so there are all sorts of lace pieces, trim and appliqué's stored in a shoe box. I searched this shoe box over and over , looking for something suitable to dress up the bedspread. I couldn't find a thing. I don't like working in a mess, so it is my habit to tidy up my craft room every evening. One morning when I entered the craft room, there on the sewing desk was a small crocheted butterfly with double layered wings, I had not seen it since I was a child, but I remembered it instantly. The butterfly was made into a brooch, the starched two layers of wings sat right up, my Mum used to wear this brooch on the collar of a navy and white polka dot dress, ever so many years ago. It was perfect for the dollhouse bedspread.(See picture below right). I wasted no time putting it on there. How did the butterfly brooch get on the sewing desk?

The Bathroom The bathroom is the only room that didn't get a facelift as part of the 2008 dollhouse renovation. I had the bathtub, toilet and sink for years before I had a dollhouse house to put it in. It's quite strange really, this house seems to have running water in the bathroom and an old fashioned pump in the kitchen.
