Hand painted French Bedroom set for the Dollhouse

 A pretty handpainted white French style bedroom set arrived after I searched 

high and low for something that had the style I was after~

it had to be French looking, it had to be pretty, and if it had 

 a touch of whimsy or fancy or gilded...then I am all in!  

 Lets go into the Master bedroom! 

Up the staircase and past the fancy 

Very Versailles mini-dollhouse in the hallway....

Starting to get a peek at the new bedroom set! 

Its white with green trim and painted flowers and pink toile bedding!

 A large mirrored armoire with door takes center stage as soon as you enter.

 The doors open to reveal a closet pole in the center, 

and shelves on the left and right

sides for pocketbooks and shoes, or folded sweaters.

This pretty bed is embellished with painted flowers and gilded touches.

It was a reasonable price I suspect because it had the most hideous bedspread

on it with equally ugly pillows that someone had glued to the headboard. The

seller cautioned that she was fearful to remove them for fear of damaging the bed.

I took the chance and they pulled off quite easily.  I took an iron and a paper towel

to remove more bits of glue, which worked quite well.  Next I made a toile bed

coverlet out of a green and pink toile placemat I had made many years ago, and laid 

it across the bed.  I added a bit of green pom pom trim after cutting off the poms

around the pink satin pillow it came with, and then glued two poms on the end of 

the pink lace bolster, also included in the set.  The ugly burgundy floral coverlet and

pillows will never been seen again, and the entire bed looked glorious once those simple

adjustments were made.  I almost couldn't believe my good fortune on getting

 this 3 piece bedroom set at such a great price! It pays to hunt and hunt.

 A sweet night table sits next to the bed with a pink French phone, 

a teeny Eiffel Tower statue, and a bottle of perfume. I still need to do the moldings

in this room, and many others, but the decorating part is sooo much fun, I cannot resist.

 The vibe of the house is coming together, as I slowly select the right pieces for it.  

That is what is so much fun about doing a dollhouse project.  One can create a world

with a certain style by being selective and picking marvelous things from vendors around

the world in line shops, or by making some things oneself.  I guess I am more in the modifying

of existing pieces to achieve the look I am after.  

French. Whimsical. Pretty. Fancy. Personal. 

That is my qualifier when looking for things for my dollhouse.

 Winter has come to the Mini Maison, and it snowed the other night.  

Luckily the rooftop terrace had been decorated for Christmas, 

with red ribbons on the green filled urns, as 

well as an iron gazebo put over the birdbath for a fancy touch.

Oh my, someone left the garden door open! All the cold air

will be swooshing through the Maison!  One new thing on

its way, is a French window for the big wall space to the right

of the doors.  It will peek into the potting room and I can't

way to start "construction" on the house to get it in place!

And of course Christmas decorating is in full swing too,

I hope you are enjoying your holiday season!
