Painting The Dollhouse

When last we left the haunted dollhouse, I mentioned I was painting the ceilings. Well that's done and so are most of the rooms. And, I know, it doesn't look too haunted yet.

This will be the parlor/living room. I bought this wallpaper; what I used on the other rooms I already had from previous projects. I had trouble in the last dollhouse with the paper peeling off the walls. So I went a different route this time and mod podged the paper to card stock then taped that to the walls. That's not working so well either. Either I need more tape or something else.

This is the kitchen.

This is one of the attic rooms. I intended to add more coats of paint but liked the way this turned out. Could be old and haunted.

This is going to be a small, narrow bathroom (gee, just like my real bathroom!). I'm showing this because the paper I used for the flooring is actually scrapbook paper. A good alternative in some cases to dollhouse papers which cost more.

I also added a house number. My daughter wanted 1313, but I didn't want to be accused of ripping off The Munsters.
Have a nice day!

  2. It's all coming together. Can you just mod podge the paper directly to the walls?

  4. Looking great Diane and who knew that they made wallpaper for dollhouses?! I think the scrapbook paper would work great since it is usually heavier weight. Love the house number and thanks for reminding me about The Munsters!

  5. You have done a lot of work on your dollhouse. It's looking good. It won't be long before you are filling it up with furniture.
