Lilliput's Dollhouses

 Happy April Everyone!  

I'm sorry it's been a few months since I posted, but I did start a new non-mini job and that takes up a lot of my time.  I decided today is the day to post another past project!  This one was a restoration that was basically in good shape but needed windows, a door, paint, and some interior finishes.

Here is what it looked like when it came in...

See?  Not bad, just needed a little of this and a little of that.

Here is the finished house...

Fresh paint, some windows and shutters, and wallpaper. As I recall, this house was being refurbished for someone's birthday.  Let's see it room by room.

The kitchen is a pretty good size.  Quite often kitchens are small and it's hard to place the furniture in them.  This one has wallpaper from Itsy Bitsy Minis and also tile from World Model.

Living room!  The wallpaper is by Jackson Miniatures and is Birds & Berries, Green Background.  It also comes in a beige background.

Master bedroom.  This wallpaper is a William Morris design by Itsy Bitsy Mini.

Hallway.  This paper is also from Itsy Bitsy Mini and is one of my favorites.

Child's room. This is also an Itsy Bitsy Mini paper.  If you look closely you will see birds in the design.

Nursery.  

Office.

Bathroom.

I was quite excited that the owner didn't want wallpaper in the attic rooms.  Why?  I really, really do not enjoy papering dormer windows and slanty walls.  To do it right takes an inordinate amount of time.

I selected this house for today's post because I wanted to show what a big impact a few simple changes can make to an older house.  Paint goes a long way!  Even the floors and roof were simply painted.  Later, if the owner would like, she can very easily add shingles, flooring, and molding.  Not everything has to be done at the same time.
