When I was out and about today, I had the wonderful opportunity to take direct inspiration from yesterdays post, and create a 'Marie Antoinette Cake Stand' just for the dollhouse! While brousing a local antique shop I found the tiniest little 'half doll' to use for the top. I hurried home and created the bottom from little wooden odds and ends I had laying around. Just needs a little varnish and it will be all done - Isn't it sweet? I can't wait to make mini 'petit fours' to lay all around it!
I thought you might be interested in seeing how I 'figure out' what I want to do with each room... This is a 'In Progress' photo of the Bedroom, which I have not shown you yet. As you can see, it looks like a teenagers room with clothes etc. scattered everywhere. I am toying with different wallpapers, wainscoting, and using shoes for beds. I also have some wonderful old textiles I want to somehow incorporate into the room. The photocopies leaning on the left side are 'color' inspirations, and a possibile ceiling mural. I get so many ideas, I have to throw everything together, and then slowly eliminate. Hopefully I will be able to show you progress on this room sometime next week...
