I wanted to re-create a freize effect in the dolls house bedroom, so I started to have a look at what I had in the house. I had some wallpaper that I had bought for the dolls house, but had discarded as I thought the pattern was too large. After having another look at it, I decided that I could use it as a freize if I cut the design out.

I cut some pink card to fit above the wallpaper already on the wall, and then stuck the cut out motif's onto it, and this is the result.

I then pasted the card onto the wall. When the cornice and the picture rail goes up, I think it will give the desired effect.

Inspirations for dolls house decoration

I have papered two of the rooms. The nursery and the females bedroom.

I have sized some of the rooms inside the house, prior to wall papering. I am still not quite sure which rooms I am doing. I think we are having kitchen and scullery on the bottom. Drawing room and dining room on the next floor. Mother and fathers bedrooms on the floor above and then nursery and maids room on the top floor. This may change as I work lol.

I did manage to find this house on the internet and I can buy a basement to go with it, so I may wait to do the kitchen, we will have to wait and see.

Dolls House refurbishment

Well I have finally got round to asking my husband to put my dolls house onto the table so I can start decorating it after three years!

I bought this dolls house from a flea market years ago, part finished and part furnished.

It is a large house, and although it is a Georgian style house, I am planning to decorate it in Victorian style then I can cram it full of little items :)

There is some damage that needs repairing. One of the pillars outside the front door has been knocked off and unfortunately one of the windows has been broken. Also some of the stairway has been broken and will need replacing. Other than that, the house is in fairly good nick, just needs decorating.
