I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
Thank you so much for your visits, friendship and comments and letting me share
my sometimes wacky world with you
One of the highlights of our holiday was passing down my daughter’s dollhouse
to my granddaughter
This dollhouse was found at an estate sale by HH’s mother who lovingly fixed it up
and furnished it for my daughter years ago
Most of the furnishings are long gone, but I did manage to save the dollhouse over the years
With a few nails, a little glue and paint, it was ready for a new family
Old floral wallpaper, eyelet curtains and red “velvet” stairs called for a little redecorating
I painted one of the upstairs rooms “little girl” pink
A sponge cut into a square stamp added faux wallpaper and faux floor tiles
Do you see the toilet paper holder on the wall? How cute is that!!
It is original to the house as is the framed artwork on the walls
I decorated this space to be the bathroom and baby’s room
The heart was part of a piece of old jewelry
I found these wonderful wooden furnishings on Amazon, details and links are at the end of the post
The brand is Hape Family {get it? Hap E, happy!}, and it’s really well made
It’s very kid friendly, doors and drawers open and it comes with cushions etc.
There is even a little rubber ducky in the bathroom set!
I left the wallpaper in the master bedroom and added a burlap rug to go with the felt rug that came with the set
The stairs were covered in a red cloth like material that I painted gray and covered with small rectangular glass tiles
It was a challenge getting into all these little spaces!
I painted over the wallpaper in the main room and painted “stones” on the hearth
A faux fire was painted in the fireplace
A mini canvas got some bright flowers
With edges painted just like on my large paintings
I used sticky dots to secure things to the wall
Dad and sister are lounging in the family room
He’s trying out all the chairs
Mom is busy in the kitchen
The baby plays with a gym on a floor mat while mom cooks
The mop in the corner and the china hutch are part of the few original pieces that were saved
I gave the exterior of the house a coat of fresh white and painted the shutters gray
The windows have the original painted curtains
This adorable Family Pet set came with a dog, rabbit and cat, each with their own abode, bowl and food
After painting the original green roof gray,
I added shingles using a square brush and a mix of black, white, and gray
I didn’t have much time to work on it, and it was a monster living in my kitchen since it was too cold to do it outside or in the garage, but CC & I can remodel it over time as she grows up
I gave her all the furnishings in their original boxes so she could look at the pictures
She went right to work moving in!
She even got some help from her cousin
She was a very Hap E little girl!
Thanks for taking the tour!
