Stocking Up

Slowly stocking up the dollhouse.

Doughnuts, Anyone?

Not that I need to be adding any more sweets to the dollhouse...

Bathroom Necessities

Crest White Strips? Check. Aleve? Check. Chanel Perfume? Check. Sponge and tiny jar? Check and check. Just your basic necessities. ;)

Weekend Recap

I hope all of you followers had a lovely holiday weekend. I know I did! The fourth was actually kind of rainy here, but the neighbors still managed to light up the sky:

Sunday consisted of insanly long, but equally exciting Wimbledon tennis matches and cutting/folding new printies for the dollhouse:

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Since my previous dollhouse post was so popular, I decided to show another new addition to the house. The bathroom now has a mirror! Hurray! When I purchased the mirror, it was an unattractive goldish, brown color that completely clashed with the rest of the room. So, I spruced it up with some white paint and up it went.

Small Dollhouse Update

Haven't been working on the dollhouse as much lately as I would like, but I did manage to reupholster a cute little desk chair that is sitting at the landing next to the top of the stairs. It's a kind of vintage looking floral pattern and I just love the colors!

Dollhouse Update: Kitchen

Life has been quite busy lately, hence the lack of blog posts... But I have been working on the dollhouse lately and I feel like the basics of the kitchen are now coming together. I'm trying to go for a kind of country-chic feel with a lot of white and "homey" colors. I need to paint that cabinet white (the one behind the table next to the fridge...) because I feel the dark wood is too overpowering. But I'm in love with the lamp over the table! Found it on eBay... so cute.

{I've been toying with an idea in my head for awhile now... a weekly giveaway! Stay tuned for more details!}

Dollhouse Update

It seems I've decided unconsiously to work on one room at a time. Can you guess which room I'm currently working on? Floor trim has been added since this picture was taken as well as a knob for the door. ;)

Found this on Etsy... it was black, but I painted it white and glossed it.This is our newest member.... isn't she cute?

...and they can read, too!

Now my dollhouse not only has food, but it has books and DVDs as well! Check out these little ones that I made: They were super easy to make... all I did was find pictures of some of my favorite movies (many Disney classics for the kid I imagine living in the house) and childhood books, sized them down, printed them out, glued them to poster board to make them sturdier, and cut them out.

What movies/books do you spy?

I Love Little Things

Don't these pastries look delish? I ordered them from I Love Little Things Miniatures on Etsy. She was so sweet and the shipping was extremely quick considering it was sent over from Singapore. Now my little dollhouse has food! I have another little project for the house I've been working on; I'll take some pics today and show you soon!

Dollhouse Update

I bought some super amazing furniture from Hobby Builders Supply online and it arrived a couple days ago. I'm in love. It's going to take awhile before a room is fully furnished, but I bought a few essential pieces- a kitchen table, a plate ware set, 4 piece furniture set, a sideboard, and a fireplace. The vase on the table is actually a bead that I painted (as are the vases on the fireplaces) and the things sticking out of it are some little baubles I bought at a flea market.
See those colorful things on the couch? Those are "yarn balls" that I made out of embroidery thread.
Can I just tell you how much I'm in love with this fireplace? So romantic...

Welcome Home

Finished the exterior of the dollhouse! Now to test my interior decorating skills...

Work in Progress: The Dollhouse

I bought the cutest little dollhouse kit at Hobby Lobby over the summer and have been working on it non-stop. After making a huge error at the begining (too confusing to try to explain--and it wasn't the directions; it was my own fault), it has been smooth sailing ever since. This picture was taken about a week ago before I'd put the shingles on. Now that the shingles & porch are on, it looks so much cuter! Check out my flickr for more pictures. The next step: wallpapering.
