Motivation for Miss Kitty's dollhouse attic has stirred. I bought some wood for the bunk beds. It's about time I start.
This past weekend I went to The Little Dollhouse Company store. Things got a little crazy....spent a bit and got lots. Thankfully I took a small shopping basket to keep me in check or things would have gotten out of control. And I bought a side-by-side room box. Yes, I have an Orchid waiting to be started, but I wanted something to make pretty rooms with and have fun with on the way.
But, I made another little scene, this one I call "Granny Chic" because the wallpaper is both retro and on trend. The runner is made from fabric samples from Bouclair's upholstery swatches. I had to wait for the clerk to wander away so I could fill my pockets (yes, they were free). Almost all the furniture is from various trips to The Little Dollhouse Company. The blue prints I had kicking around from PrintMini finally found a home! The basket is actually resin, but feels like wicker.
The mirror was an amazing find on Etsy from Melissa's Miniwereld in the Netherlands. She makes lasercut 1:12, 1:24, and 1:48 kits and furniture from thick cardboard. It's half the price of wood but paints and looks the same when finished. Check her store out! I painted the frame with Testors 'aluminum' and burnished it with a black paint pen.
