Staircase off!

I have always hated the stairs in my dollhouse (Sorry, Caitlin!), because they take too much space and they are located in a place that it is really difficult for the dolls to use them.



So, I wanted to take them off, and mommy refused at first to help me with it, but finally she agreed (after all, this is my dollhouse!).



Then I thought that the floor of the kitchen looked very odd, so I wanted to change that also.



And look now at this beautiful new kitchen - I love it!!!!!
And the family does too. Now the family is having a good time in big open-space kitchen.

And another thing popped into my head: I'd like to buy a fridge for the family!

The Elegant Bathroom II

It so happened that Susanna made changes in Mary's House kitchen and then she had extra cabinets. So I thought I could buy them and try them in my dollhouse bathroom. One was enough for my bathroom, so the other went to my sister's dollhouse kitchen. I just love the bathroom now!

The Gazebo!

I bought a gazebo for the kids of the dollhouse, Elisa and Tom and Kirsty. They are very excited about it! Their mom and dad like it very much, too.

The family is enjoying the gazebo with their pets, May, Spike and Cotton. They just love it!

Dollhouse Day!

Yesterday we went to the Season Opening of the Finnish Dollhouse Society.
There were two workshops - one for making a bread basket and one for building a kitchen stool. I will show the pictures later. But it was such a fun to make them! The occasion was held in one doll shop and there were lots to look at and buy.

Or just take with you free of charge, like those floor papers and wooden pieces.
















We bought these ministuff, although Riikka got those flowers free of charge when she was hanging around the table persistently enough. When Riikka bought that cute little blue doll bed, she got two miniature coca-cola bottles as a gift. And when I was buying the round piece of knitwork in the middle of the picture, the seller said it was one hundred-years old and it cost only 50 cents!!















I bought these mini printables, the other sheet has those little boxes and cans - and the other sheet has a mini teddy-time calendar. It is going to be so cute!

A Little Visit

Grace and Greta (Riikka's dollhouse owners) came to visit Tom and Elisa. They have had such a fun time playing together. But Elisa got bored and went inside. But then mom asked them to pose for a photo and that made Elisa to peek out from the window. In the picture Greta is playing with Cotton and Spike, May's puppies. And Grace is just resting from all the running around. And Tom is peeking into mom's veggie basket, which she just picked from the garden.

Mini-stuff!!

On summer holiday when we were visiting Tallinn, we were looking for dollhouse shops in the old town, we did eventually find one. Not really a dollhouse shop, but a toy/doll shop called Nuku Pood. There I could find some ministuff, these cups and plates. Mom and dad really loved them and I think they are adorable!



I bought this mini dollhouse on my birthday. It looked very plain, just wooden. So I thought I'll tune it a bit. So, here it is!



Well, I thought I'll paint it blue, because my mom had bought for me little paint jars, one white, one blue and one terra color - and I LOVE blue!

Renovation continues...

Just wanted to show you all the new wallpapers in the dollhouse! I am not happy with the kitchen floor, so it will change, too. Now when I look closely, some of the rooms seem very small, so I am thinking of removing the stairs totally! But my mom is not so sure about it. So, we need to talk more...



Mom and Dad are checking if workmen did well when they were putting the wallpapers on. They especially wanted to check that there were no rumbles or bumbs on the walls. The workmen did a very good job!



If you look carefully enough, you'll see that I have done some painting too on the edges. I thought they looked very plain as such and wanted to give the house some color!
