Reveal Time!

As you know, I just made these little furniture pieces.

But where are they going?

You might recall seeing a peek of this secretary from my

recent Doll Room Tour. It was a hodge podge!

Well, I gave you a hint with this photo:

WANT TO SEE IT NOW?!?

HERE IT IS!!

And doors open!

On the bottom shelf are the furniture pieces I made.

I also crocheted the little rug.

This cabinet is just two dollhouse pieces put together.

All my little plates are just paper with clear

plastic glued to the fronts!

To the right of the living room is the tea table.

I need to crochet a round rug here.

The table cloth is an old embroidered hankie.

The china tea set was painted by my grandmother.

It has been in my china cabinet for 30 years

and I never thought til now to use it for my dolls.

Sadly one of the cups is missing!

This is the second floor bedroom.

This bed was made from a candy box.

I used the box lid for the canopy.

You can see the box bottom is the bed base.

All my doll mattresses are made from the 

used egg crates off my kids beds.

( I put them through the wash first!)

The right hand side of the room. 

Someone who lives here collects dolls too!

The perfume bottles are beads

that have been hot glued.

SO!

Who is this little house for??

Well, a friend LURED me into wanting

a small fashion doll, I KNOW!

It was most irresponsible.

She was sharing her collection of

Little Miss Revlons with me.

So, I decided I would JUST LOOK on eBay.

I found this little girl, who looked

like she really needed a new home.

So, I got her!!!! 

She arrived yesterday and she had all these 

clothes AND a pair of heels.

She is VERY dirty and her hair!

I use my usual cleaners.

Synthetic hair shampoo and magic eraser.

Much cleaner!

As soon as I won her, I ordered her 

some lingerie from Doll Secrets

She looks SO much better already!

But a little faded maybe?

Here she is before her touch up.

I mix these 2 colors for doll cheeks.

Then I use a make-up sponge

dipped in the paint and then tapped on a 

paper towel until the paint is nearly dry.

Then pat the make-up sponge on the dolls

 cheeks. If you mess up just use a damp

 cloth to wipe off  and try again.

Here she is! She looks 

so much brighter.

Before and After.

But she really needs a friend.

 I came across this little American Character

Toni doll.  She is in really good shape.

She has her original lingerie and shoes

and her color is very nice!

All I did for her was wash her lingerie to freshen it up.

Here they are!

But, they both need names.

HELP!

Find out the girl's name's here!
