The Paper Dollhouse...Living Room Reveal

I can't begin to describe how much fun Nora and I have had with the dollhouse makeover!  It's been such a fun mommy-dot experience.  I hope she remembers this forever!  I will!  It's been so fun to see her personality come out with the colors she chose and we've had a blast trying to find little objects that we could use to make it look "just right."  We spent hours yesterday working on the living room.  It turned out so cute and she's already begging to move onto the next room.  

 Here's the BIG REVEAL!

 

We changed the wallpaper, "reupholstered" the furniture, printed some new rugs and repainted some pieces but we really didn't buy much at all. 

We found the yellow frame in the $1 bin at Michaels.  The "throw" blanket is a strip of fabric from Nora's sewing basket.  The "tile" in the fireplace, the "wallpaper" and the polka dot "fabric" on the furniture are all scrapbook paper.

 The puppy is a squinkie.  The tea set is one we've had for a long time and  Nora made the pillow from ribbon.

Look closely at the "chandelier!"  It works!!  It's a battery operated tea light wrapped in pretty trim. 

 

The "side table" is a cork Nathan and I had saved years ago because it had her name on it.

We put new pictures in the frames...scrapbook paper.

We bought mini magazines at Hobby Lobby and recovered this one with an image of an HGTV mag that we found online.   

I think our beloved Lalaloopsy will be very happy in her new digs. 

I'd love to move right in myself!
