First thing we have to have, obviously, is a living room. I brought some supplies with me, a couple magazines, a few ribbons, a stack of assorted felt (invaluable), some art paper. How many times did I wish I'd brought my glue gun? About 7637 times- but who counted.
We scavenged some Styrofoam. I used a Veranda magazine and picked some room backgrounds. Shea had a good time looking through some magazines for furniture bits and pieces and the gluing began.
The couch- way too long for the room, but we were just getting out feet wet here- out of the scavenged Styrofoam (from packing material I believe) and we chose a lovely orange felt and cut and glued and covered.
Shea used a campfire- something left from a Barbie? Moxie Girls? Bratz? camp set as an open pit fire place. And in this picture we have a blue smooshy chair- about Barbie size. She also added a cute little Lalaloopsie table. Our dollhouse is absolutely not built to scale. We aren't picky, we choose from all girl toy groups.
Shopping list: Veranda magazine (where do I get that?), ribbons, felt, art paper (what is that?), glue gun...I was at my sister's house and she had a few decorating magazines but didn't have any double page spreads...
