French Shopping Paradise - 2. Shop Wallpaper and wallcovering

I have nearly finished the second shop of my French department store. I used a 1:24 wallpaper by ArtofMini (www.artofmini.com) because the wall is only 17 cm tall.

 

I was a little bit to afraid that a patterned 1:12 wallpaper is may too much for the wall. For the wallcovering I used my cardboard usual. The next step is to do a wooden floor.

 

Have a nice day.

French Shopping Paradise - Cornice and White Walls

 

 

Here is a update of my French Shopping Paradise.

I have done cardboard-cornices and painted the walls white.

I am not sure if I have later a hanging lamp in the shop....maybe only walllamps.

 

Have a nice day

French Shopping Paradise - Covering the walls part 3

 

 

I have have finished the rest of the walls (also the missing part over the window).

 

For my dolls houses I use a lot of cardboard.....later it looks like real wood.

 

I really like to work with cardboard it is inexpensive

(I collected it for free in my localdiy-shop)

and I can cut it with a scissors).

 

Have a nice weekend

French Shopping Paradise - Covering the walls part 1

 

Today I will cover the walls of my French Shopping Paradise with cardboard.

First I tought I can put the wallpaper directly on the walls.

Unfortunalety I have problems with the old wallpaper. It is d-x-fix (lamination).

So later noone can see the old paper.

 

Have a nice sunday

French Shopping Paradise

This is my little French "shopping" paradise. I bought this house for about 30 Euros. It is not a very big house. Every room is 21 cm (wide), 17 cm high, 8cm deep. It is a Reuter Display house (Reutter Porzellan). And yes the house has a cream plastic facade. Maybe I can paint it.

The roof is my biggest problem! Any ideas what I can do with the roof? I don't like the red colour of the tiles! Maybe I find some ideas in Lea Frisonis book: "Le grand livre de la maison miniature". New roof tiles?

Sorry this photo is not very good (to dark). What do you think about a little French balcony? For the house I don't need a lot of furniture! Only some shelves! My idea is to have a mini shopping paradise with 3 or 4 departments (toy, parfume...).
