I can't believe I just spent about three hours re-wallpapering the study in anticipation of Lucy's arrival. This involved creating templates, which was a real nightmare because I had to go around those arched windows . . . two of them and the fireplace! Eeegads! Anyway, I got it done and then I had to wrestle with peel-and-stick wallpaper. This created it's own challenges. Let me just say I won't be ordering peel-and-stick dollhouse wallpaper any time soon!
At any rate, the room is done except for making the bed and adding accessories. For now, I need to rest my back, legs and feet. Being up on a ladder for the better part of three hours has taken its toll . . .

Next on the list:
- Accessorizing the kitchen and Lucy's room.
- Trimming out the back of the manor.
- Grouting the bricks I just installed.
- More landscaping.
I'm hoping to get all this done before my new dollhouse arrives in two to three weeks . . . maybe, hopefully!
Lucy's bedroom is looking just right for her! Prim and Proper and no-nonsense! I think the bed is very charming and adds a feminine touch to the room. Lucy will feel right at home in no time! I finally bought myself a "safety ladder" (with a handle to hold onto at the top...!) so I could be high enough to work on the upper floors of my bigger houses. It makes a huge difference... but isn't comfortable for long stretches of time... so I feel your pain! (The things we do for our minis!) :):)
ReplyDeleteHaving a proper ladder is paramount! I do feel so much safer with the larger foot pads and handle. Lucy should be arriving today! The family are anticipating her arrival! :-}
