My New Dollhouse Interior Close-ups. :)

Starting at the top left of the house

This is the first bedroom. It's a nice size. I'm thinking traditional in here, I have twin beds that would look nice in here.

The bathroom. I have a porcelain claw foot tub bathroom set that I think will just fit in here.

When you peek through the door you can see the upstairs hallway where the steps come up. I think I could even get a settee in there under the window. (No hubby in there to complain about too much furniture in the way) ;)

The second bedroom, again, nice size. I'm thinking roses and shabby chic all over. I have a white metal bed that would look great in here. And one of the roses needlepoint rugs from my etsy shop. (Must remember to put one aside for myself now) ;)

The kitchen and dining room combo. I'm probably going to take down the kitchen cabinets that are in there now. The doors don't open, how would I ever store my things? I can see a lit chandelier in the dining room area, another one of my rugs and I'm pretty sure my table, chairs and a china cabinet I have will just fit. :)

Even the hallway will be fun to decorate, a runner, coat rack, maybe a nice potted plant.

Think of garland running up the stair rail during the Christmas season. :)

The living room. Great size. Will probably take out this fireplace, as I have a better one. :) If I'm lucky, maybe I can even squeeze in two seating arrangements.

Ignore the latice peeking in through all of the windows and doors, I think that's a cucumber vine back there.

So many thoughts and dreams filling up my head right now. It's a good thing. :)

LOOK, What I got!!! A Dollhouse!

Okay, so it is a little dirty.
Okay, so it's very dirty! lol ;)
But, it's mine, all Mine!
I hate to even touch it, but had to take some before pictures, before I got to cleaning it.
I think it even has an occupant, a tiny spider...
Filthy dirty, damaged and crayoned on.
Who could ask for a more delightful thing. ;)
My assistant. :)
So, there it is, my auction winning. Made of sturdy plywood, it appears to be handmade, from the fifties maybe? If anyone has any idea in regards to age, please post a comment.

This must have been sitting in someone's basement for a while, I'm itching to clean it up.

Hubby has graciously offered to wire it, after I told him he has to help me. ;) Needs a few repairs here and there possibly something around the front entry, like a little roof and a step, maybe some columns, one of those fancy things above the door.... and..... and..... and.... ;)

Happy Fourth of JULY! :)

Okay, so I'm a little bit late, lol ;)

What else is new? Waiting for things to return to normalcy so I can back to listing and creating and most of all, sharing about mini making with all of you. Please, bear with me.

I do hope that all who celebrate Independence Day had a wonderful time. It was so nice to relax among friends and socialise. :)

In the mean time, I'm running a Christmas in July Sale in my shop and it's a BOGO!

That's right, buy one, get one of equal or lesser value, for free, how cool is that?

It's going to be for a limited time only, so don't wait too long, I might stop it at any time.

Real simple to do, just list your second item in the notes to seller when you proceed to check out.
In the event that two people want the same thing, the second buyer will be notified for a second choice.

Can't wait to get back here in full force! Invite your mini friends to follow my blog, when I reach 50 followers, I will host a giveaway. Feel free to comment on any entry of my blog with your idea of what should be given away.

Until next time, and hopefully, it's not going to be long now at all.... :)
