Staircase off, part III

I have been changing the room order in the third floor. First, I thought that I would put the bedroom in this little room and the living-room (family room) in the bigger room, but then I changed it around, like in this picture.



After a while I noticed the living-room was very crowded when the whole family was gathered in there. And here is the picture of the parent's bedroom without the staircase. So much more space! (well, at least a little...)



Michael and Rachelle (the parents) like the new order a lot.



Here are the two rooms in the third floor. I love it...

And the family loves it, too.

Staircase off! Part II

Well, this is how the dining room looked like before... As you can see, the staircase took so much space... The room did not have any wallpaper, and the rug was very old. The family did not like it at all.



So, again we took the stairs off... This is the hole what is left after removing the staircase. The wood you can see there is the kitchen cabinets... So, we need to figure out a suitable cover for the hole and do something for the floor.



Here is the new dining-room! The family is very happy about the large room, they could even have more furniture.

Tom, watch out for the hole!

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.
