So far...
This is the ball room. I still want to add some things, but I am quitting for the weekend. It has not been an easy room.
The artwork behind the couch is a paint sample framed in scrapbook paper, and the other pieces are scrapbook stickers. The grandfather clock was a $5 purchase at Hobby Lobby and tucked into the suitcase for this room. The curtains gathered pink satiny material thumbtacked to the walls with a ribbon fringe hiding the raw edges.
I'm just not sure about the rug. I can't decide. It's an old hankie that I picked up at a yard sale. I think I like it...but I don't know. It kinda gives off a grandmother vibe... I just don't know. I'll let the dolls decide.
Ball room
Needed some flowers, a craft care package from home came with a package of mini silk roses, and we used the cardboard tube that pony tail holders came on for the tall vase. I hot glued some ribbon to the outside because it looked too white. The curly strips were an accident- when I was trimming the cardboard for the walls, they curled- and that was kinda cool, so I wrapped a couple pieces around a pencil and they curled even more.
Party/Ball Room
For those dancing moments...we've created a ball room. This is the room that Shea particularly asked for. When asked what it should look like, she said it should be pink and it should be fancy. So we are going pink and fancy.
This is the beginning stages with the windows added, and a few of the furniture pieces moved in.

Dollhouse Manor
Some dollhouse furniture on top of the house, Shea got a couple sets of Loving Family for Christmas. We're thinking of putting in a laundry room at some point...
art room
Decided we needed a cozy little art studio. Styrofoam and felt couch, scrapbook paper ends cut to fit. Styrofoam coffee table covered with felt- going to need a new exacto knife soon. Brought the mini art easel from Hobby Lobby in the States. Paint samples, scrapbook paper and blank art paper for the canvas. The little counter? An inspired purchase- found at Bed. Bath, and Beyond on clearance when we were home also. I'm not even sure what they are called, but they are to put in drawers to divide them...caddies? maybe?? The heart shaped thingy on the wall is a cheapy birthday party bracelet favor. The wall paper itself is a piece of scrap book paper.
There's a basket of "jewels" on the side of the counter. An homage to my love of all things sparkly. Acrylic jewels hotglued into a cut egg carton cup. (found a glue gun in a shop in Santa Marta) The pitcher on the counter is a Good Will purchase.
Felt rug and pillows, and mini watercolor pictures on the wall, backed in construction paper.
