My Current Dollhouse Decorations

To show that I am decorating my new dollhouse almost from scratch, I’d like to share the items I currently have on hand for decorating. 

This miniature bed was purchased about 2 years ago at the local Goodwill store.  I found it in the toy bin for only 25 cents.

It’s made of wood and has a foam mattress and represents a Queen sized bed.  It’s currently sitting in the master bedroom of the dollhouse.

I plan to recover the bed, but the current stain looks great so I probably won’t be refinishing it.

Here I have a miniature cloth Hitty doll that was made for me by Ms. Courtney Butler.  She stands just a tad over 5 inches tall (between the 1/16 and 1/8 marks.  I do not plan to purchase a dollhouse family; instead I’ll be using dolls that are handmade like this one is.

I’ll be crocheting some nice dresses and hats for this doll, and will be thinking of a good name for her.  She’ll be the wife and mommy in the house, but as of right now she’s a single woman who is proud to have purchased her new home and just thankful that she has a bed to sleep on.

And here is my collection of miniature bears.  These bears stand from 1 inch tall (the pink crocheted bear) to 3 1/2 inches tall (the large brown crocheted bear).  They currently sit in the attic.

Notice the lines on the attic ceiling?  That’s the nice piece of Birchwood paneling I found, it was perfect for creating a rustic look in the attic!

Courtney also made some of the bears and I made the rest.   Courtney made the bear on the far left as well as the bear with the open mouth right beside it.  She also made the crocheted brown bear and the brown bear that is sitting.

On hand I also have some scrapbook paper, cardboard, Elmer’s glue, a hot glue gun, some small mini craft sticks, furniture fabrics, vintage velvet rayon fabric pieces, crochet hooks and thread.

I’ll be using these as well as other items found around the house to do the majority of the dollhouse decorating.

With glue, cardboard and fabric, one can make virtually almost every piece of furniture one would want for a dollhouse.

I’ll be starting on the floors and walls first, as well as printing free printables I locate online for various odds and ends like food, books, magazines and other small items made for 1:12 scale dollhouses.
