Did anyone notice the big difference? OK, I'll tell you what happened and what has changed.
Last year, Mely gave me a gorgeous bedding set, telling me that she'd made it for Dad's Dollhouse. I was afraid that her gorgeous work wouldn't be noticed because of the garish wallpaper in Dad's Dollhouse bedroom, so instead I decorated Cupcake Cottage's bedroom with her bedding in mind.
Then, just recently, I spontaneously tried her bedding in Dad's Dollhouse, and viola! Mely's beautiful bedding looked PERFECT in Dad's Dollhouse, even toning down the wallpaper (which, incidentally, was the same wallpaper in my real life parent's bedroom in the 70s and 80s).
Mely's bedding still looks gorgeous, but she has improved the bedroom decor 1000%. Thank you, Mely! I should have listened to you the first time. ;-) You've made the bedroom in Dad's Dollhouse a very special place.
I only need to build one last piece of furniture from a kit, and Dad's Dollhouse will really be complete. Once I've built the hoosier cabinet for the kitchen, I will show you the completed house. Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer
P.S. Now I'm using a vintage handkerchief as a bedspread in Cupcake Cottage, and I love how the room turned out.
What a difference a little switch up can do! It must be weird almost completing a mini house after all the love an time you put into it. Can't wait to see the next post, have a great weekend! Hug AM
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Your work is so beautiful and very cheerful. These bedrooms look so relaxing and real. I cannot say enough about your amazing photos. Hugs, Felma
ReplyDeleteI like your room very much! So romantic!
ReplyDeleteI love beds covered with vintage handkerchief! Not sure if I would find one like that over here but they look just perfect on mini beds! Pretty bedrooms Jennifer!

Hi Jennifer! What a delightful gift that Mely gave you for Dad's Dollhouse! Yes I can see that the bedding has quieted the vintage wallpaper so it looks like a great fit! I am amazed at how a piece can look so different just by being moved from one room to the next. Your new bedding in the Cupcake cottage is very fresh and very pretty Jennifer! I LOVE the casual way that it is dressed, loose but structured at the same time... Really Beautiful!

The bedding set from Mely is perfect in Dad's Dollhouse. I love the delicate look it adds to the room. Shabby Chic is one of my favorite styles, so Cupcake's Cottage is a fav. Where did you find that lovely bed? I may have missed it in a previous post from you. Overall great job on decorating these rooms. What an inspiration! :)

Beatiful i love it.
ReplyDeleteUna camera molto romantica e preziosa!
ReplyDeleteUn caro saluto, Manu
Mely's bedclothes are so beautifully made and look absolutely fantastic. The wallpaper in my dollhouse bedroom is pretty 'busy,' too and I also used a white coverlet to help tone things down a bit. How cool that you have the same wallpaper as in your parent's RL house! I love that!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteI really love the photos in this post. I think you should use them for your greeting cards too, especially the top two. They are so pretty and very feminine.

Постельные принадлежности от Mely очень милы и, действительно, подходят для потёртого шика. Мне очень понравилась кровать.
ReplyDeleteСтаринный кружевной платок будет прекрасным дополнением. Желаю творческого вдохновения!
С наилучшими пожеланиями из России. Елена.
