Thought I'd show off one of the dollhouses I have. This one I bought already constructed and painted. The walls and floors were stenciled. I'm still working on fixing it up. The attic will be a bedroom and bathroom. The second floor still needs kitchen wall cabinets and wall hangings in the living room, plus a coffee table for the guy living there to put up his feet. The apartment needs lamps, too, but I'm not electrifying which could damage the stenciling.
Right now, the "tenant" is busily blogging on his laptop. I think I should get him a cell phone, too. Yes, they make those in mini, too. There's a box of pizza on top of the fridge and some Chinese takeout containers on the kitchen island, in front of the microwave against the wall. That's a stereo CD player on top of the cabinet in the left far corner. And since it's an old NYC building, it has an old-fashioned radiator.
Downstairs, is a psychic's shop. I got the idea for that when I was coming home from the mini show in NY back in September, after buying the house, and saw one at street level. I've always wanted to do something a bit more lush than my usual contemporary houses and shops. The furniture is all crafted by artisans, except the two former dining room chairs and the cart, all of which I touched up with gold paint last night to give them highlights. I made the wall drape last night. I'd forgotten I'd gotten the beaded fringe for a craft project, but when I found it last night while looking for ribbon, I knew it would be perfect.
