SHOPPING AT THE DHE

Last Thursday, I received my parcel from The Dolls House Emporium. I was afraid some of the items would be broken when I saw the state it was in! Fortunately, everything was fine!

I like the radiators and the vase of roses...

I now have quite a nice collection of teapots to start with, although I am a bit disappointed by the details on some of them. I am not a fan of the dog either...

WALLPAPER / LE PAPIER PEINT

Today I put the wallpaper: the stripes at the back of the shop, and little bunches of flowers on the sides... I also used leftovers to paper the inside of the shop counter and of the corner shelves. I've never been totally sure of my choice, but I think it looks quite nice!

LE CABLAGE / WIRING

It doesn't look like a clean job to me, but I could not think of another way to do it.... Eventually, it should be covered by the egg carton bricks! Wait and see!

INSPIRATION

Here are a few photos of real tea shops, tea rooms and shabby chic shops that I found on Google Images. They are really helpful as a source of inspiration, and I regularly have a look at them when I hesitate about a detail or the general atmosphere I would like to give to my project.

SHOPPING

WHICH WALLPAPER(S)?

Number 1: the stripes

Number 2: the roses and blue stripes

Number 3: little pink flowers

Number 4: little bunches of flowers

Number 5: big roses

OUTER WALLS/MURS EXTERIEURS

 Today I added a first coat of grey paint on the outside walls. I'd better start making bricks to be able to cover the walls once the inside is papered!
