I've been working on this for almost a year. I moved all the furniture, recataloged all the books, put up pictures and decorations and it's finally done! Pretty much. A lot of my miniature scenes are under construction.
|
This is a shelf my grandparents gave me when I was a teen. It has all my little special things on it. |
|
I used Ikea shelves to provide shadow boxes for my dolls and miniatures. This is a Ginny doll that belonged to my grandmother (actually, it might have belonged to my aunt, but I never met her. I was given it after my grandmother's death) |
|
This is my most complete miniature scene. |
|
This scene is, as you might guess, not complete. It's going to be a sort of fancy music room/conservatory, hence the flowers and the color scheme of mostly white. |
|
Some of my Madame Alexander dolls that belonged to my mother The teddy bear is mine and the big doll belonged to my grandmother. |
|
I gave away most of the AG accessories, but I do have a few things left. |
|
My miniature book collection and Beatrix Potter books |
|
This scene is supposed to be a kind of funky cafe. I need at least one more set of tables and chairs and some pictures for the walls. |
|
This country kitchen is almost complete, but I need a stove - I think I lost or gave away the one I had. |
|
Beatrix Potter tea set I've had since I was little. |
|
My stuffed animals and a pillow made out of my grandmother's sewing bag |
|
The whole shelves |
|
You can see my record collection here and my dried flowers and vases on top |
|
My sewing desk is messy right now because all my Christmas presents are on it waiting to be wrapped and my first of the catch-up projects - sewing the head back on my tiger. My craft books are up with my other teddy bears and the black notebook next to the thread has all my quilt designs in it. |
|
My desk chair has a couple little blankets on it (ok, yes, that's a baby blanket but I've had it since I was small and it's still in perfect condition) and the shelf has all my series collections - girls' school series, my miniature books, Elsie Dinsmore Rick Brant, Ken Holt, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and other misc. vintage books. Also my house music boxes |
|
My reading corner - those shelves have all my children's books and my collection of mini Ikea stuffed animals. The picture I bought when my library sold off our art collection |
|
There are flowers drying under the tv, since there's a handy shelf there. It's not really an ideal spot for the tv, since you have to close the blinds to watch anything, but it's usually dark when I'm watching movies anyways. That thing outside the window is where I hang food for the squirrels in winter and a hummingbird feeder. |
|
The whole thing! I do intend to get a small, high table to go in the empty spot by the window. I'll use it for beading and puzzles. |
|
The top of my lower shelf has various pictures on the back of the bookshelves and then different things - mostly parts of my bowl collection - on top. |
|
This is my to read/library/to review shelves. Oy. My cookbooks are behind the old messenger bag (I just bought a new bag, for the first time since grad school. It's not a purse, it's a bag) and then various things that need something done with them - I ordered a bunch of bags to try and need to return them etc. The lower shelves have my yarn basket, photo albums, comic tubs, and patterns. |
|
This little corner has my second chair, my dolls, my picture that my mom made, and some beading things I hung on the wall, since I rarely actually wear jewelry but I enjoy making it. |
|
My puzzles and various bits of tools and such. Still have a stack of records I'm going through and you can see my new freezer! |
|
My new freezer - and my new bag! |
|
This set of shelves by the kitchen is mostly empty, but I do have some extra doll clothes (with baking soda because they had been packed away for a while and smelled a bit musty) |
|
A few more bowls and my Ikea guinea pig and panda from San Diego |
|
This is going to be a kind of greenhouse |
|
This will be a nursery/Christmas scene. |
|
All the plants in the bedroom are doing well. |
|
This is as tidy as my clothes closet gets (yes the vast bulk of my clothing consists of t-shirts and socks) |
|
and the craft shelves, which have not been organized or tidied and probably won't for a long time |
