Dolls House Update

Ive just finished the curtains, though the yellow ones are rather stiff looking...I'm still getting bits of furniture for it I need a kitchen, skirting boards but that can wait for awhile. The dolls house has been put on wheels, so much easier to move and put away.

The New Dolls House

I've taken the old carpet out and  sanded and repainted....It's still it's not finished it's a 'work in progress'.  I put a MDF backing on it in the weekend.

The 'mouse sander blew up'. So I was
left in charge of sanding after that...

The Dolls House Bedroom

Here is the wee over pink bedroom...I papered all the walls because you could see all the screws. It was a cute wee room while it lasted (all the paper fell off). I might be able to selvage and re-use some of the paper...Anyway I'm now thinking of using the other dolls house. At least I can stick things to the surface and paint it if I want. Ahh the dolls house project continues!

The Dolls House Project

I've been working on a dolls house so I have used stuff I've had lying around the house. I didn't want to spend too much money on the decorating so I used up scrap book papers for wallpaper. Then I used up tester pots of paint for the furniture.

All my dolls house decorating went very well until it was played with. Some of the wallpaper started to peel, but it was nothing that couldn't be fixed which I was going to do that day. In the mean time I managed to get bitten by something nasty so I have been out of action for the past week.

Today I thought I would glue the paper back down and put away the dolls house to only find the CAT has destroyed it...He's taken the curtains down, pictures have fallen off and ripped the wallpaper. Actually all the wallpaper is falling off...

Unfortunately all my hard work has not worked out because the paper on the walls all came off much  too easily. My problem is that the surface of the shelves are a laminate, so nothing sticks too it...I sort of knew that the wallpaper would fall down because I needed to sand the surface. But if I do that it will ruin the surface for later use as a shelf.

I'll pop up some pics in the next post of  how the bedroom  did look...I'm still deciding what to do...I have another old dolls house in the garage...Maybe I'll do that one up and give the girls this one to take home to use.

Dolls House Art

Easy art for the dolls house with a little
 help from my friend

Gluing the foam board with
Modge Podge

Covering the glued board
with fabric

Putting the picture it under something heavy
to keep it flat and smooth

'Cat Fabric' don't they love playing
in whatever your making....

Paste a square of card to the back...This
hides the fabric ends. Now it's all ready to
hang in the dolls house!
