WOYWW 226--Dollhouse Decorating

Happy What's-On-Your-Workdesk Wednesday...it's a day and a place where you too can be a "desker" and link up your creativity-in-process wherever your desk may be!

This is my usual worktable--but it's been invaded.

Minnie has taken over because I'm standing here, on a Tuesday evening, cutting more bunting pieces for my dollhouse re-do. It is week two of this dollhouse dreamin' and I'm busy putting on layers and layers of paint...picking out scrapbook papers for the walls with designs, words and sayings...knitting rugs for floors and embroidering a couple of welcome mats.

But...last week I said this may take a couple of weeks--now I'm giving myself a month! It is a lot of fun, turning my dollhouse into a vintage-meets-modern living scrapbook, but certain aspects are going to mean taking my time to create things the way I really want them. There may even be aspects of some art journaling in the house too--see what I mean? I'm having way too much fun.

I'm experimenting with some crafty decorating ideas, like using vintage thread spools for flower vases in the little craft room (all upcycled from stash)--and I've bought some new Christmas ornaments which will actually serve as dollhouse decorations like this dress form and some chandeliers. Not bad for two dollars a piece! (on sale)

Once I'm finished with the front of the house it will be moved to its permanent location on the other side of my greenhouse sunporch and I can get going with the interior decorating! 
There's still one whole side that needs three layers of white paint too. Now I've got another welcome mat to embroider and a little flag to make. It's spaghetti night at our house too! Have a wonderful week everyone. Ahh...it's been a long busy day. I'll be visiting workdesks in the morning!
