My Dollhouse

As a little girl I loved going to visit my Auntie Donna, for many reasons, but mostly because I loved her dollhouse. She has recently given me a gorgeous dollhouse - a Jim Marcus - and it's my pride and joy. Here is a peek at how I put it all together.




It started as a blank slate, and I had a vision of it being a painted lady - sage green with purple and forest accents.  I also had it wired.






    And this is the
    finished house,        complete with          wallpaper and          moldings!





But, as pretty as it looks now in pictures, I wasn't entirely happy with it. So I started over to give it a more subtle look that might fit better into a home. And this time, I had some help with the repainting!






Same color scheme, just rearranged ~





Over the years, as I've traveled, I have collected a myriad of treasures to add to the interior.
