This year I was sooo excited to get started on the interior of the dollhouse, and have been slightly disappointed at the cost of everything. Perhaps for most folks it wouldn't seem like a lot but for us it is a fairly significant cost. This past week I was finally able to put up the wallpaper on 2 of the walls in the living room! Yay! I'm going for a shabby chic style room, so I choose a pink flowered wallpaper. I also painted the hardwood floor white. I've been trying to decide whether to do the floor white or dark for months it seems ;-) and after spending some time looking at pictures of real white floors on the internet, I decided to take the plunge. I also painted the stairs white for now, not sure if that will be permanent or not. On the third wall in the living room I plan to do full-length beadboard. I think it will look great! However, I put in actual working light switches and I'm not sure how I'm going to cut those out of the beadboard. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!
Here is how the living room looks with the wallpaper glued on. I will freely admit I did a pretty lousy job cutting out the wallpaper. Fortunately for me, the edge will all be covered by trim! I propped the beadboard that I've painted in place for this picture and I like the overall effect. I'm in the process of building a fireplace that will go on the bead board wall, I'll show you all when it's done. I'm pretty excited about it!
