The new kitchen!

Here is the new kitchen and I am pretty fond of the furniture. So the furniture will stay but lets see if they soon going to be changed around... The table and bench are made by me and everything else has been bought. But the rug is made by my grandmother at will be changed to the one a bought from the Miniature fare. 

Lemonade is ready to be served, but were are the folks to drink it?

I have thought a lot about what kind of wallpaper should I put in the kitchen, but I have still no clue about that!!! Well, I'll try to think about something... :)

Bathroom to bedroom and Bedroom to bathroom...

So, as you know from the title, I once again changed the rooms around... so this downstair room used to be the bathroom but now the furniture have been carried upstairs.So lets see how it goes!

Now the furniture has been put in but the walls and floor still need something, now what could that be..

And now upstairs, I really do like this better. The bathroom was too big downstairs and the bedroom was too little upstairs. And now this is perfect, at least for now...

This looks much better! Now only the floor needs to bee fixed. The 'tiles' were so hard to get of that I just covered it up with tissue paper. Jep you read right, tissue paper and ribbon. The night table is really Riikka's but I just had to try it. The rug is made by my grandmother.

Hey, did you notice that the upper wallpaper is the same that was used in the bathroom.

 

There has been other changes too, but more about that later... 

Miniatures rooms

We had friends over from America who bought us this wonderful book!! On the way to Finland they stopped by Chicago and visited the Art Institute of Chicago. Each year thousands of visitors come to see the sixty-eight magnificent lighted boxes.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful rooms:

I wish I had taken more pictures of the book but my fingers were so shaking that I just had to start reading!! :)

Finally a post!

We went to the Lahti miniatures fair. And this is what we bought... ( look at the upper picture) To be miniature, we got mini bags too!! They are so cute! Well actually I bought this..(look down now...) 

Tadaa, here is things that I bought... Well my wallet got really light after getting out of that place...

Well, here a bit closer to the things that I bought.

So these are the dishes that everyone has been talking about. They are Wooper's dishes. Aren't they so sweet! I just love it, they are like real ones!

And now for the food! Some spaghetti, rye bread, and chips!! Yummy! The spaghetti is made by Susanna, it looks so real!! I wish that I could have that spaghetti right now...mmmm....

Some bed sheets for Tom and Eliza with pillows, a very sweet rug, some nice cloth, and a very soft pillow. The rug is going in the kitchen and the pillow is going in the new parents bedroom. (more about that later...) I really like the prints on the bed sheets.  

Now for the rest of the mini stuff I got: Hangers, note books, clocks, candles, wreath, sticks for Nordic walking. Susanna is the maker of the note books and she was so kind that she gave us prints of the notebook covers.  

I really am proud that I found this bike. The peddles and the wheels really actually work!! Now Tom and Eliza can go with a bike to school!  

 Now my fingers are shaking... I can't really say anything else that I just love this!!  I had been admiring this set from one blog and now I have got it!!!

Now heres a picture of the set in Riikka's Green Gable's garden. And of course Wooper's dishes and Susanna's yummy food.

Mmmm, mmmm.....

Oh, yeah I forgot to show what was in the mini bags. Well, here they are:

The photo album is so sweet with the mini pictures. 

I bet that the mom is going to love the smells of the perfume.

The Exciting England Trip!!

I had a wonderful time in England!! We went everywhere: Oxford, Longleat house and Safari Park, Bath, Cheddar Gorge, Warwick castle and Mme Tussaud's ... and so on... but I had lot's of fun! And of course when I had Susanna with me we found DOLLHOUSE SHOPS!! And with me being a shopping freak I bought lots of things..

And here you see my shoppings... Well, guess I'll just have to tell just what they are. I bought that huge sink for a kitchen (which I have been wanting for a long time..:), a bench for a garden and some bushes and flowers, a mirrow and two paintings, some tea sets, books, wine bottles, a street sign, and a cashier machine. (I am still talking about the first picture, sorry..)

But now about the second picture: These all are from Stratford. I found these from the back of the a souvenier shop, I was so happy to find that sink!!

These are from Bath, from Pulteney Bridge. (A fact: Pulteney Brigde is one of the four bridges in the world that has shops on it and one of the shops had miniatures in it!!)

These are from Cheddar Gorge. Aren't they just wonderful!!

This is just one nice picture that I took of the miniatures that I wanted to show you!

(sorry, for the long break once again... but when summer comes I will be more into miniatures!! :)

Outside changes!

I have been looking at the outside of the house and I'm not impressed, I haven't done anything for the outside!! But now I have painted the roof with antiquing paint that has to be diluted with water, it's supposed to make it look older and used but I think it's a nice color for the roof.

Here it shows better, the top shingles aren't painted but the rest are.















And now going down, the shingles are painted and I have made rocks from egg cartons (I have a link that has instructions how to make it but can't get it yet here), then I have painted the tiny poles beige, it looks very nice.















Rachel is standing happily on the porch but she is longing for some flowers and more... She is always wanting something! ;p

We went to the store....

Yes, we went to the stores and found lots of goodies, colorful napkins (for wallpaper), paint, ribbons, garden chair, a box for keeping toys, flower pots, cernit (like fimo), bambu tablets (its going to be for a floor), hair for dolls, vine, a doll's head and hands (I am going to try and make a doll, let's see how it goes), some ornamets from Sinelli (a shop) and wood, its pretty soft that you can cut it with a mat knife, its called balsa.
