French House - I have finished my bedroom!!!!!

 

Finally I have finished my bedroom in the French house.

 

I am very pleased about the result.

 

I like my cardbord panels. It looks like real wood.

 

For the beams I use the wooden sticks from firework crackers... 

 

I marked also the position for the lamp (the lamps are the last part of the house).

 

Have a nice day

Displays for my Haberdashery Shop - Cameo-Brooch

 

 

Lock what I found....... a cameo brooch!

 

The height of the brooch is about 7 cm. I will use the cameo as a picture in the French House.

 

From the ornaments I have done little displays for my haberdashery shop.

 

Maybe I can do a lamp from the remaining ornaments.

Here is a little update with some furniture and accessories.

 

Finally I found the metal ornaments which

I bought last year in Birmingham!!!

 

I will paint them white and glue it over the wallpaper elements.

 

I will also add some beams (balsa wood - 1 cm wide) to give the room more character.

 

 

Have a nice weekend

French House - Bedroom part 18

 

Here is an update of my bedroom.

I have finished the walls with the cardboard stripes.

 

The next step is to paint everything brown!

At the moment it is to "clean" (but that is my taste).

I like dollshouses who look like real houses.

 

Have a nice day

French House - Bedroom Floor part 15

Today I have done the wooden floor in the French house.

It is a self-adhesive floor by Euromini.

I also put woodfiller in the gap.

 

Tomorrow I will cut a lot cardboard-stripes.

I need longer ones for this house so I cut them first

and the rest is for the French Shopping Centre.

 

Have a nice day

A Mirror for my French House - French house part 14

 

 Some years ago I bought this euromini angel mirror (article no. 6676).

 

I was not satisfait with the golden colour so I have painted it.

 

I think I will use it (only the frame) for my French house.

 

The frame matches perfect to my little angel ornaments:

Ironwork for my French House - part 13

 

 

I am planning to build a basement and some steps for my French house.

 

For that reason I bought some delprado iron (metal) handrails and iron elements for the windows/balcony.

 

Now I can calculate the high of the basement and the steps.

I think the basement is not higher than 7 cm.

Maybe I do also 2 little windows. But I am not sure about it.

The house is only 40 cm wide and the front door is 9 cm (incl. doorframe).

 

For the steps I will use balsa wood which I can carve a little bit. So that the steps look well-worn.

 

I will do a lot of red geraniums (mixed with ivory) and I really like to do a wisteria for one of the side walls.

On the net I have found this wisteria tutorial:

What do you think about my plans?

 

Have a great day

French House part 12 Window frames

 

Today I start to do the window frames for my French house

For the window frames I use 1 mm cardboard. 

I have done also a window frame for my "Baby Shabby Chic

Boutique" and I was really satisfait with the result.

I really like to work with paper/cardboard (I am not a wood worm!).

 

Here you can find my window frame tutorial:

New Minis for my French House

 

I was shopping for my French house. I bought

2 rugs

(my house is only 19 cm deep- so they have a special measurement)

 4 stucco lion heads

(for the facade)

Susanne was so kind and sent me 2 little extras.

A ribbon and a lace card for my haberdashery shop

Thank you Susanne

Here is the link for Susannes's shop:
