Who, What, Where: Dollhouse Bathroom

December 6, 2014 at 9:46 am by Claudia

Today, I’m returning to the Who, What, Where Series. Normally, I’d be highlighting the bedroom, because it’s next in the sequence. But I’m waiting on a new element, so I’m going to pop over to the bathroom instead.

For the life of me, I couldn’t get an acceptable full-on shot of the bathroom, so we’ll skip that and go right to the elements of the room.

Wallpaper: Itsy Bitsy Mini; Beadboard, moldings & chair rail: miniatures.com; Tile floor: found in a craft store.

Pie Safe: I asked Marsha to purchase one for me at a miniature show out in California, I’m afraid I don’t know who the maker is; Towels: made by me from baby washcloths; Glass container with shells: a gift from Marsha; Wicker basket: a gift that was handmade by Casey; Flowers: from my stash; Red wooden container: part of a gift package from Maryanne. It was unfinished wood and I painted it red; Toilet: part of a bag of minis given to me by Heidi. I originally didn’t want to use it, but I couldn’t find anything better, so I painted it and there it is.

Rug: from A LavenderDilly, an Etsy Shop; Sink/Cabinet: from miniatures.com. I painted it red; Faucets & Taps: from miniatures.com; Glass soap dish: a gift from Jayne; Hand Towel: a gift from Norma; Mirror: part of a compact that I took apart. Casey advised me to paint the edge black; Flip Flops: a gift from Jill; Chair: made by me from a pattern in Léa’s book.

Tub: from a bag of things from Heidi. I painted it and the paint crackled. I ended up liking it; Shutters: from my stash, painted by me; Sansiveria plant in pot: a gift from Jayne.

I have plans for a few more additions; a shower curtain rod and shower curtain (wish me luck!) a vanity, and towel racks. It’s a work in progress.

 

Happy Saturday.

      I love that wallpaper pattern. You can get away with a bolder pattern in a bathroom.

      It’s definitely the boldest room in terms of color choices!

    You know I love this little series… love seeing your bathroom. A shower curtain will be pretty.
    The Sansiveria… we call that ‘Mother in laws Tongue’ ;)

    it’s cute in the window, a sweet addition.

    I’m in dollhouse-love heaven. Perhaps the bathroom is my fave room yet. I had no idea about miniatures to this degree of detail and quality and variety. You could display this house in a museum. Again, the work you’ve done on this dollhouse is awesome; I’m totally impressed with your talent!

      As a fan of red, I am glad to use it in the dollhouse, Teresa.

    I love the tours Claudia. I am so fired up and getting twitchy to decorate mine.
    Did you do one room at a time or move as the mood hit you?
    You house is delightful.

      I started out doing one room at a time. Now that the basics of each room are done, I add things willy-nilly.

    I loved your chair so much that I ended up buying Lea’s book.
    Perhaps over Christmas I’ll have time to try my hand at making a chair for my dollhouse. I saw some floral wire on a recent trip to Michael’s – is that what you used?

      Yes. Although, I think the floral wire I used was not the same as the wire that Lea used. I just grabbed whatever was available. I think, if I remember, I couldn’t find a heavier wire in white.

      She has some wonderful projects in that book!

    LOVE this bathroom! I looked on Itsy Bitsy Mini and this wallpaper appears to be no longer within their choices online. Do you happen to rmember the name, please?

      No, I’m sorry, I don’t. I worked on this dollhouse over a decade ago.

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.
