In case you are wondering about the picture to the left, it is a boutique I finished a few months ago save for a few finishing touches. Here is the progression of the making. It took a little over a year to complete working on it a little bit at a time.
 |
| A close-up of the wallpaper I bought from eBay. The great part is the border is printed on it. |
 |
| I wanted something a little different so i glazed the outside pink then added a bronze crackle finish. |
 |
| The number disk is a sequin on which I used a hole punch. I don't even know what the pink shelving was before. LOL |
 |
| The door is part of a decorative doodad dismantled and painted to match. It is wood so I realize now I should have sanded it first. I will also add a door frame for it. The clothes rack is from a Dollar Tree doll set painted silver. I made the gold dress on the left. |
 |
| The shoes come from various sources. I even have a pair that might fit Barbie. Feet come in all sizes right? :-) The hangers are from the same set as the clothes rack from Dollar Tree. I bought several of these shelves new from a thrift shop so don't be surprised if you see several of them in my "mall." |
 |
| This is as far as I have gotten. My miniaturist friend Janet from NAME suggested a few plants. Once I decide which ones I will use I will add them. These are two of the dolls who will be in my future doll stories. The pocketbook images on the left wall are iron on patches. Stay tuned for the finished product! |
