work of the last week

Last few days I've been busy with some furniture that I already had for a while.
The colours were not right. The chair was dark red and the little desk was dark brown.
Not exactly something that would look nice in a brocante house. So I changed the colour to scandinavian green. Turns out more purple than green but I like the colour.
I also made a curtain ( don't know if this is the right word). This will go very well in one of the two appartments on the second floor :-)

My other house

Absolutely no inspiration at the moment :-( Here are some photo's of my other house.


















This is my first house and a lot of things I made I would do different now. Maybe I'll change it one day.
The kitchen is made by me but the inspiration came from Lea Frisoni.
The bookstore will stay in the house but I'll change the wallpaper. Too dark for my taste now.
At the moment I'm reading books and thinking of my elevator. Still not sure how to make that darned thing!!!
Something like this would be nice ;-)

vintage and roses

Lately I've been busy deciding what wallpaper I should use in the vintage shop.
That always a difficult but important choice. That makes or breaks a beautiful room.
I'll use the soft beige and browns. Not sure yet for the floor so that will have to wait. I'm thinking of a wooden floor or maybe tiles. But I can't find the tiles that I have in my head so that might take a while ;-)
The mirror is aged and looks a lot better now. The little cabinet is something I found in the shop when I was looking for wallpaper. I couldn't resist it.
It's so pretty!!




The window was a pain to put the paint and the wallpaper on. So it still looks a bit messy. Especially the outside needs a windowcleaner!! But first the floor and then the cleaning :-)






The bedspread is made by my mother in law. I love these roses but couldn't embroider so small. So she made 2 of these spreads for me. Isn't that sweet!! I'm lucky to have such a sweet lady as my mother in law :-)
I layed on of them on the double bed in my dutch house. This room is almost finished but I'm planning on changing a few things.
Dollhouses are never really finished are they?? There's allways room for improvement.

An update

It's been a while ago that I posted on my blog. First there was my vacation ( which was super!!) and when I came home it was very busy at work. But last week I had time and inspiration for my vintage-shop :-)



This is just a first try. I'm not happy with the mirror so that's going to chance and I'm not sure about the floor yet. We'll see.



My new tables and all the hats I've collected. I had more then I remembered!! Sometimes I find miniatures in my boxes that I completely forgot ;-) The tables are made by me and the flowers and hatboxes were kits. The rest is bought or a gift.

Just a few pictures

We are having a great time. The only thing I would like different is the weather :-(
