Isn’t that a beauty?
It’s a strange spring around here. Some plants are more prolific and lush than ever, but others are not. The Annabelle hydrangea is not doing well. I’m going to have to cut it back at the end of the season. The climbing hydrangea is also not doing well. And the bridal veil spirea is flowering, but very sparsely. I wonder if all of that has to do with the very harsh winter we just went through? I suspect it might. Oh, and the rose bush is also a problem. Lots of dead branches.
There’s lots to be done.
The wild roses always do well!
Okay. It took me two days to wallpaper the bedroom in the Beacon Hill. It was stressful and frustrating and that was because I had to work around all the trim that was already in place. That’s something I haven’t had to deal with before. So, it had to be pieced together. Ideally, each wall would be one continuous piece of wallpaper, but that was impossible.
On Monday.
On Tuesday around noon. It’s definitely a test of my patience and a reminder that rescuing a dollhouse involves all sorts of challenges. I love this wallpaper, by the way. Papyrus Floral by Cobblehill Minitatures.
I turned the dollhouse to get better light and look what showed up in the window? Dove Cottage. It almost looks like a little neighborhood.
It turns out the daybed works perfectly in this room. That wasn’t planned, but I’m sure happy about it.
Now for the floors…
I moved my sofa that had been in the miniatures cupboard down to Hummingbird Cottage.
I really love it in here and it picks up the colors in the rug.
But now, the blue and white easy chair looks out of place. Hmmm. I’d like to keep this sofa in the mix because I think the living room needs a shot of a different color. Everything was “lots of shades of blue.” And this is such a gorgeous piece (by Emma of Croft House Miniatures in England.)
I’ll be keeping my eye out for another chair.
Okay, my friends.
Some weed whacking is on the docket for today.
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
