I finished most of the bedroom the other day. I added baseboards and window trim and a chair rail. I still have to trim out the area by the stairs and add crown molding, but here it is.
Remember the clapboard section that the previous owner had somehow inserted into the bedroom wall? If you look to the left, you’ll see that brick is now covering up that clapboard. Several blogging friends told me about a method to make bricks, but I had already ordered this molded plastic and it ended up working beautifully. I painted it white.
It really feels like an attic room that has been converted to a bedroom – which is exactly what I was going for.
My friend Patti, of Crystal Rose Cottage has often mentioned a dollhouse that she made many years ago. These posts of mine have started her thinking about it again. Today, she posted photos of her unbelievably charming dollhouse and she has given me permission to share them with you.
Oh my. Isn’t it adorable? I love the paint color and the windows upstairs. And that great porch.
I want those windows! Oh wait, there are bay windows, too! And lots of nooks and crannies. Seriously, isn’t it lovely? Patti is going to work on it again. Go pay her a visit and read the story behind her dollhouse.
Send me photos of your dollhouse. I’d love to share them with everyone.
Claudia, your dollhouse room is wonderful and bursting with subtle time worn character. I tried to comment on your small spaces post but blogger would not let me. It was a brilliant post. Have a lovely weekend. olive
Oh My! What a gorgeous room you’ve created. Patti’s dollhouse is beautiful too.
Thank you Claudia for featuring my dollhouse on your post today! I have already made a few changes to the interior and the exterior since those photos were taken. I love all the charming details that you are putting in your own! Very clever to put the brick wall in the attic! I also love your little french chair! I am getting ready to install some wallpaper….wish me luck!~Hugs, Patti
I am trying not to covet. Just gorgeous. Going to visit Patti now.
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful work, Claudia! I’m so impressed with how creative you are. That brick wall gives the attic room such character. Your friend’s house is adorable! I love her choice of colours. Thank you so much for sharing.
Oh, the colors of her dollhouse are my colors. It looks like pain staking work to do all of the detail I’m in love with both our your dollhouses ladies!
I want to move into your dollhouse!!! I love that bedroom!!!! You are very talented!
I thought attic too when I saw the bedroom. Love both the doll houses and it really makes me want one. Maybe someday!
Enjoy your weekend!
