I truly meant to stop- but I there was an empty box.  What could I do?  So I ask Shea, what room do you want?  A Fairy room. 

Every fairy room needs a toadstools.  These are dresser drawer knobs painted pink and white.  Shea also wanted potion bottles which are beads hot glued together.

So our dollhouse has almost reached the end of its evolution.  This was a two year project and we have about 6 weeks left.  The original intention was that there would be odds and ends, recycled and repurposed  toys so that in the end, we'd tip our hats, trash the dollhouse and never look back.

A couple rearranged and redone rooms.  Made a formal dining room- although it's on the third floor and I feel bad for the dolls.
Finally made a little room for the washer/dryer.  Again, more work for the dolls.
This third room used to be the arcade.  First the disco ball crashed to the floor and it was all down hill from there. My favorite touches, the glass coffee table which is a Yankee candle top, the old globe pencil sharpener picked up at a flea market, and the photo of Shea on the mantle.

We've updated and refurbished quite a few rooms lately.  The bathroom- formerly hot, hot, beyond-Barbie pink is now purple. 

Didn't have pics of the "boutique" room on here even though we made it quite some time ago. So here we are.

The New Nursery

Possibly the last room that will be added to our dollhouse.  I brought the polka dot felt back from Hobby Lobby at Christmas and couldn't stand not to use it.

This is the new toy room. We used a set of kids stacking cubes for our shelves- and a Rubik's cube table. (My husband said- "Hey is that my Rubik's cube? What if I want my Rubik's cube?" Now mind you, I don't recall the last time I saw him with the Rubik's cube in his hand- but...whatev) Tops of 2 liter bottles glued to the wall and squinkies make awesome toys inside. I made the window from instructions that I got from Myfroggystuff.com. The floor is made from tiles from Lowe's. You can buy single tiles at less than a buck apiece and the cut fairly easily with an exacto knife. The wooden table top is also from Lowe's- it's a sample of wood flooring- which is FREE!!! and the bottom of the table is a teabag box covered in white duct tape. I'd just like to take a moment here and acknowledge all the awesome new duct tape colors and designs--thank you duct tape. The door is made of brown foamie and has a bed glued on for the knob.
