Apartment #12 - Diana's Screen divider and toilet area

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my blog. Thank you for

your sweet comments on my last posting.

 

I hope to finish this apartment soon.

 

We have had rain - YIPPEE!!!

 

I am so pleased at how this apartment

is coming along. The bay window gets

put in this week and so does all of the

furniture.

 

You might remember this screen divider.

It used to be in Samantha's apartment.

Remember these were a set of doors.

 

On the other side I put up some lace

that matches the curtains. Some privacy

will be needed here.

 

I wanted to show you the little sink that will be

going into the apartment. My daughter Pep made the

tiny bar of soap and the faucet. Looks really shabby!

 

This is the little toilet that will go into the apartment.

It is going to be hidden by this screen.

 

I hope you enjoy these photo's.

Take care and Thank you for

visiting me!

Apartment #12 - Diana's Curtains and books and lamp

Hello everyone.

 

Welcome to my blog

and Thank you for the sweet

comments that you give to me.

 

Apartment #12 is coming along nicely.

 

The sewing hooks work really good as shabby chic

curtain holders. I did not paint the dowel so it would

match with the floor.

 

On this picture you can see where I put the kitchen.

The shelf that I had made earlier has been attached

to the wall with tacky wax. I added 4 little doorknobs

to the front. As of yet, it has not crossed my mind what I will

hang on them.

 

The Bay Window is ready to be glued to the

outside wall. I made these 6 books from the idea

that I showed to you. Then I covered them in thin white

linen.

 

I did not like the plastic look of the shade so I covered

it in a small piece of cotton lace. This lace is the

same lace as the long curtains and the valance. 

I took a clear bubble bead and glued it to the

inside of the lamp. It looks like a fat light bulb.

 

The books lend themselves well for the thin

linen fabric. This is just one side. These books are so

soft.

 

I like the look of these books. The pages kind

of looked like they were painted.

 

Thank you so much for visiting me.

Take care!

Apartment #12 - Diana's Kitchen and Curtains

Hello Everyone. Thank you very

much for your sweet comments.

 

Allergy

season has hit me pretty bad this year.

Sinus headaches, itchy ears and eyes, scratchy

throat just to name a few.

Of course it does not help that I have

many trees behind my house. I am positive

that my front and back yard would not

look good it was a rock garden.

One of these days I am going to move

to the beach where I can breathe

and live!

 

However, I do hope that all of you are

well and are enjoying your Spring!

 

I wanted to show you the progress on

Apartment #10. It is not a lot but I am

getting there slowly.

 

The Kitchen comes from The Playschool Dollhouse.

These little kitchens are just perfect to use. If you

remember the Kitchen in Daisy's apartment was

painted entirely white. I have decided to leave

this Kitchen in its original colors since this

apartment will be SHABBY.  The cute little doors

under the sink were missing when I got this kitchen

so I added lace. Also it was missing a shelf or

perhaps something big goes in this space. I do not

know but I think the little shelf is needed. I added

lace to each shelf and painted white the tiles behind

the sink. I have added bowls and cookbooks along

with other things to fill in the spaces.

 

Oh! Please do not look at those dirty dishes!!!

 

Everyone seemed to be using these sewing hooks

as coat rack hooks. This was a lovely idea and I

thought that this would make great curtain holders.

I am not sure if anyone has tried this yet, but this

works if you want a shabby look!

 

The curtains are attached to the bay window by

a little bit of glue. My daughter Pep painted

the window white for me and cut out the plastic for

the windows. This window will be fixed to the

dollhouse very soon.

 

Before I started with the curtains I cut a piece of

dowel the length I wanted. I did not paint it. I have

tons of this cotton lace that I am using for the curtains.

The side pieces are lightly pleated. I did not use any

glue or hairspray to keep the pleats in place. They are

natural and very soft. The valance is almost double

the length of lace. I pushed the dowel through

the little holes in the lace and threaded it through.

Soon, I will be hanging these curtains on those

hooks and putting in some small details.

Thank you for visiting me!!

Apartment #12 - Diana's Serving Cart turns into a coffee table

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my blog and

welcome to all of my new followers.

Hope you are all well.

Do you need a small eating table??

Well this is what I am doing for

apartment #12.

I needed a small coffee table/eating table for this

small apartment. I just happen to have this old

serving cart laying around.

This is the top. The table leaves still work.



OOPS! Look what I did!! How terrible of me.

But I got what I needed. This will be going into

my apartment.

when painted white - looks nice.

I hope you will try this for a coffee table!

 Thanks for visiting me!!
