A New Perch for the Dollhouse

September 17, 2011 at 9:43 am by Claudia

The dollhouse is now on a ‘new’ table, which replaces the coffee table. The coffee table is now functioning as…a coffee table. Brilliant on our part, isn’t it?

This dollhouse is so hard to photograph! Since the den is tucked in behind the porch, it doesn’t get as much light as in other parts of the house. I’ve resorted to a ‘special effect’ to make this look like an artistic shot. Gosh darn it, I keep entering The Pioneer Woman’s camera giveaways and I never win!

Another angle:

I keep some of my supplies on the shelf. There’s more in those Trader Joe’s bags in the corner. As usual in this house, somehow or other a dog manages to get in the picture. Hi Riley.

His little adventure the other night seems to have left him no worse for the wear.

Today I am going to change out the front door. Wish me luck.

Have a great weekend. Ours is cool and very fall-like. And the leaves are changing. I’m ready.

    Doesn’t it just amaze you what light does or does NOT do for photographs? I’ve yet to get a decent photo of my north facing living room with a huge overhang of a porch. The solar tubes helped a bit with getting actual light in to the room but it still doesn’t help me with my photography skills.

    Oh, sugar, I’m sooooo glad your pup is doing well after his ordeal. He must have been terrified. Claudia to the rescue!!

    xoxo,
    Connie

    I have never had a dollhouse. I may just have to have one one of these days. Looks fun to decorate! Hi, Riley!

    It’s so nice to see that you’re getting back into your dollhouse. It looks very content on that table. Did you know that dollhouse can talk? Yes, they can. Just wait and see! LOL! Your dog looks very comfy on that rug, like he doesn’t have a care in the world. Have fun with your dollhouse. I’m looking forward to seeing the process as it unfolds.

    “Oh, Goodie! A dollhouse post!,” I said! I am loving your doll house and I still want one!
    I am so glad that you found Riley before he had to spend the night in the ditch! Precious baby! I can’t imaging your fear.

    Hey Girlfriend,

    What a lovely house, almost as charming as yours…..love the colors, too! It’s always a good thing to get the coffee table back to it’s regular job of being a coffee table.

    Hugs,
    Meri

    I love that you are working on your doll house again. My weather is hot and humid, not a spec of Fall in the air.

    Claudia, I just love your doll house! I made one once from a kit and just when I was about to start on the inside my then two-year-old son tried to get “in” the house and destroyed it. :O(
    Blessings, Joanne

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
