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.

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!!

Apartment #12 - Diana's Walls and Floor papers

Hello Everyone!

 

Thank you for your sweet comments.

I hope all of you have been well.

 

I do not know how your weather

has been, but some days it is warm,

some days it is chilly.

What is the weather doing?

 

I wanted to give you an update

on the apartment. I hope you

like it so far.

 

I absolutely love this floor. It updates the apartment

and looks great. I have tried for so many days to

get a good photo but the lighting has been awful

here. So here it goes anyway. The right side of the

wall is papered to look like planks. I only use a

little glue at the top and bottom of the papers on

the walls. When I smoothed down the paper, I did

not realize that I did not smooth it down good

enough. The back wall is just plain white. A little

distraction it is.

 

I had to piece the floor together. It looks really great

against the wallpaper.  

 

Looking inside the window you can see the closet

that I put in beside the main door into the apartment.

 

A better view of the little closet.

 

This is paper that I used for the walls.
