Big Reveal of the Texas Rosebud Miniature Townhouse

Hi y'all!  I sure did miss you last week.  I was very busy though working

on my Texas Rosebud Townhouse.  Lots of new things.  Want to take a

peek?

Let's start in the living room.  Several additions here.  

There is a new window with handmade curtains made by me.  Behind the

cozy chair is a new bookcase.  I bought it unfinished.  I painted it and

lined the back of the unit with a mini rose bud print.  It is the Texas Rosebud

Townhouse so roses are everywhere!

Some of the books I purchased, like this new set of Anne of Green Gables

books, and some I made.  I was hard at work at our breakfast counter gluing

and decoupaging covers.  I get so involved in my work that I totally

forget the real world.

I tweaked the top of the mantel a bit and added some "family" photos.  

Lots of fun going on in the kitchen too ….

I really went crazy in here.  I would wake up in the middle of the night with

an inspiration and could hardly wait to act on it.  Thankfully I am so lucky to

have such a loving and encouraging husband who doesn't think I am nuts!

Of course, maybe he does ~ I have not had the nerve to ask him.

I found this adorable clock on etsy.  I am going to go into detail about all

the things I purchased for the townhouse tomorrow.  I will be sure to tell

you all about Roxanne and her charming miniatures then.

I made a skirt for the kitchen sink.  Off to the right and next to the

cabinet is a little calendar I put created from this and that.

You can't see it very well in this pic, but I embroidered a little

felt rug for the area in front of the sink too.

I put in a door.  I need to create a little scene for the background.  Have

not decided just what I want yet, but it will come to me.  Oh and I made

the little curtain rod and the valance too.  But …. my favorite things are 

the itty bitty aprons I made.  I had so much fun creating them.

I found a cute little unfinished peg rack to hang my aprons on.  

The buttons are handmade out of polymer clay.  I designed them so that

they could be sewn on just like real ones would be.   I added the pocket

so that the cook could keep her wooden spoon at the ready.  Something

always needs stirring in the kitchen :-)

So there you have it ~ the big reveal.   I get so involved that I forget to eat!

Hmm …. dollhouses keep you slim.  I wonder if I lost any weight last

week?  Seems like my clothes are looser.

Time to get a sandwich and make a cup of tea.  So glad to be back

visiting with y'all.  Hope you will stop by again tomorrow when I give

you some dollhouse resources and tips.  Until then ….

Bentley ~ you know what this dollhouse needs that it doesn't

have?  A dog!  Every house needs a dog!  I thought you 

would agree with me :-)
