Sideboard part 2

I have finished my sideboard. I used a nail for some scratches so the sideboard looks older.
In each drawer are 4 different bolts of fabric.
Have a great day

Haberdashery cabinet

Last night I couldn't sleep! So I started to paint my cabinet at 3'o clock in the morning. For the first coat I used a tester of white (wall) paint. For the seond coat I used my pnz wood wax (dark oak). Than I used an old fabric to remove some of the dark wax. For the little corners I used some q-tips (cotton swabs).
I bought the cabinet on the dollshouse fair.
Cabinet by Houthoekje price 22,50 € (november 2011)

handles by The Wonham Collection
I will use the little plastic bags (handle packing)..I know it sounds a little bit mad but they are perfect for little embroider kits. I will show you the result later.
Have a nice weekend,
Sonja

Bed makeover part 2

So here is an update of my bed makeover. I found only 1 cushion and the duvet! The duvet which I have bought on a garage sale was to wide. Maybe I can make a lamp shade from the rest of the fabric (photo 2).
I hope that I find also the 2. cushion and the bolster.

Furniture makeover bed part 1

Today I started with the makeover of a bed...I used blue hobby paint but I was not satisfied with the result. So I used a little bit brown paint...yes my cottage needs some dirty furniture! Later I will sand it...
Last year I bought some bed-linen...but I have no idea in with box or bag it is...
it is cream with little flowers on it....so it is something for grandma

Sorry the quality of the photo is really not good.

A rocking chair

This little rocking chair was a gift .... I like the design but it looked ugly (it was to red..)...so the chair was over one year in one of my plastic boxes.....
Today I painted the chair and used brown canvas for the seat.
Now I am satisfied with it.

My furniture in the Buttercup

water pipes
a gas bottle
kitchen canisters
a carpet
a radio or tv
some garden magazines (i will put them in one of my wicker baskets)
a dog basket

Furniture makeover part 2

This is the second part of my furniture makeover for the Buttercup dollshouse....

The original sofa and chair were mahogany with a red fabric, the wardrobe was unpainted and the little table were brown with a hig glossy varnish....
I painted all furniture with acrylic paint (Appel Barrel Colours Twill no. 20780) and later with liquid wax wood stain..I hope this is the correct translation). It was a dark oak one. I painted all furniture 2 x with the wax.
I used the same paint for my kitchen sink.
Later I used a new fabric for the chair and the sofa....

My kitchen sink in the Buttercup

So now my kitchen sink is in the little Buttercup...and as you can see there is really no space...on the right side you can see my little chicken towel rack

I will also make some water pipes ... at the moment I try to finish my ufos (unfished projects before I start with the big house)....
Yes I am an expert for ufos...

A kitchen sink makeover

Sometimes it is really not easy to find the right furniture for a dollshouse... for my Buttercup dollshouse I used a lot of so called cheap furniture. Yes nearly all of them look ugly. The kitchen sink was to high so I removed the "foot". The original one was brown (sorry the photo is not so good).

I will make also a little cooker because I have no space in my Buttercup....yes the house is cute but really to small....
In the internet I found also an instruction for a little gas bottle...
