The finished Doll Room

Here is the whole Doll Room from the doorway.

The right side wall.

You can see the Little Miss Revlon house,

The compo room and then... 

The cabinet that is the Patsyette house.

On the windowsill is my Betsy McCall room.

Here is Daisy in her little bed.

Charlotte and Joan playing dolls.

Sally Ann in the antique doll bed that

 belonged to my grandmother.

Next to Sally Ann's bed is the Patsyette house.

I made these little quilts and the

tiny Raggedy Ann dolls.

I also made the quilt on the daybed 

pillows and crocheted rugs.

On top of the Patsyette house are the babies.

Om the left is Patsy Baby on

the right is Ellen china baby painted

by my grandmother.

The left side of the room has the big dollhouse.

The top floor is for my 1970s dolls, starting with

Crissy and Shea on the top left.

And Mia and Cricket's bunkbeds on the right.

Mia and Cricket love playing with the Liddle Kiddles.

On the second floor we have...

Emma's room.

Molly's room, and..

The Glamour Doll Room.

The pink stripe papers finally arrived.

I still have to decide whether the side 

walls will be pink or white?

On the first floor we have...

The living Room

The Kitchen and

Julie and Grace's room. This room is still

waiting for paint and/or paper.

Just past the big doll house, is

the big cradle. 

Just behind the cradle is my new sewing table!

This is actually an antique kitchen table.

It is made of quarter sawn white oak.

There are two drawers on the front that are

perfect for sewing notions.

To the right is my antique dressing table.

It has been in my family for many years.

I am now using it for my desk.

But who is that on top of my printer?

I found these two 7" dolls at

a nearby thrift store.

My son could read the name 

"Alexander" on their head.

After some digging, I found out they 

are Haley and Chloe 

made by Madame Alexander for 

the Avon Co. in 2015. 

They got a spa day just to help smooth their hair.

Here they are.  A little bit better, but 

still needing their hair smoothed. 

My Haley apparently had this flower skirt

added to her outfit at some point.

Very cute.

Max, The emotional support Dachshund,

decided I needed some face time

while typing this post.

Well, that is the New Doll Room.

Hope you enjoyed it!

A New Doll Room

 As you all may know by now, my family
has made a move from California to
Southern Utah.

This means a NEW Doll Room!

This is the new doll room right after we moved in.

WOW, overwhelming!

The first thing I had to do was repaint ALL

the big doll house rooms.

While in storage, the wood boxes

started splitting.

 I filled cracks with

wood putty and then sanded.

All the room boxes got a fresh coat of white paint.

This took me a few days to finish.

WHEW!

I chose some craft paper to use like wall paper.

Emma chose this bird paper for her room.

The side walls are painted to match the paper.

Mix white glue with water to make 

homemade Mod Podge.

Brush the glue and water mix on 

the wall and press the paper in place.

Everything was going great!

Our new house was starting to look like 

HOME!

Then...

My mom suddenly took ill.

We made an emergency trip to Texas,

she was in a coma when I arrived.

My mom passed away three days later.

What do I do now?

Mom and I were very close.

How do I go on without her?

I avoided my doll room. 

I just lost interest in everything.

But,

I decided I needed to stay busy.

I forced myself to get back to work.

Max, the emotional support Dachsund, has been very helpful.

(He mostly sleeps under a blanket)

"We'll help you mom."

The girls all helped me unpack.

Molly was so helpful in the kitchen.

Slow progress was made.

Here is the Doll House so far.

The living room is done.

And the kitchen.

Not too sure about this paper.

What do you think?

The whole top of the doll house is now

for my 1970s girls.

Here is where Cricket and Mia sleep.

Groovy!

Emma's Room all done.

This is for either Molly or Kit.

We may rearrange rooms a bit.

This is Grace and Julie's room.

This room will get a new paint color.

Yellow? Lavender?

This is the Glamor doll room.  It will be painted

pink or maybe a pink stripe paper?

Here is the whole house.

Next time I'll reveal the rest of the doll room.

Hugs my friends
