The unfinished cabinet in the above photo has undergone a transformation. It now looks like this:
I would like a real-sized one for my home. This transformation, of course, is much easier and much less time consuming.
Just as in real life, I had to move the furniture around for my photo shoot. And yes, I did a little staging. I originally had many more pieces of pottery on the shelves, but as any good stager would, I pared back so that you could see the wallpaper that covers the area behind the shelves. It’s the same pattern I used in the room.
I love it.
Is there just too much blue in the house? I can’t help it. I’m so drawn to those colors. Case in point: look at my header. I’ll try my best to mix it up in other parts of the house.
A dash of garden surprise:
I’ve been discovering these little patches of impatiens in our little patio area where we have them planted in big barrels. They’ve reseeded. That’s never happened before. How lovely to come across this little autumn surprise.
I hope the first frost holds off for a few weeks.

What a beautiful change! It is simply adorable and it feels like a real room. I get such a kick out of your pictures….I know I have said that before but I really do!
Isn’t it awesome how nature gives us those little gifts. :O)
Blessings, Joanne

ShantyGirl says
I too love blue! I love the change. When I was in Ventura California we stopped at a doll house shop that had the best collection I had ever seen of the goodies you put in your house. I was amazed! Love your cute little rooms!

Too much blue??????? I don’t think you can have too much of something you love, especially a color. If so, I have too much green in my real house! Green soothes my soul, however, so green it will be. If blue is your soother then I say, go for it! Beautiful!
I sure hope your weather stays nice for a while. We are planning a trip up that way soon.
We’ve already had a heavy frost down here in E TN.

Your little cabinet looks very nice. I love what you did to it. If blue makes you happy, then just go on using it. Can we ever have too much blue? I don’t think so. LOL! Your little impatiens are like a breath of fresh air.
Norma says
I like the use of the matching wallpaper on the back of the cabinet, and I think the grey/blue is really pretty. This is the great thing about working in mini isn’t it – you only have to please yourself so you can use whatever colours you want, but anyway it’s working so well here.
How nice to have those pretty little blooms surprising you!

Cozy Little House says
That is a lovely surprise! I don’t think you have too much blue. But then I put basically the same colors in all the rooms of my house(or should I say as I’m moving in I’m doing that), so that I can change things from room to room.
