Gypsy Travel Trailer Dollhouse

I finished the day bed and I also made this long piece of furniture. In the real Magnolia Pearl trailer it has drawers, but mine will be more simple.

The day bed has lots of trims, a back roll pillow, and I put a velvet strawberry on there too.

I added some rust to the headboard.

I put a funky trim around the window on the side. And it has a pink "roman shade."

 

This is the chandelier in the middle of the caravan. I used all different colors and kinds of beads for the true gypsy look.

I haven't fixed it in place yet. That's why it looks crooked.

In the Magnolia Pearl there's a yoyo throw on the daybed. So I decided to try one. I cut out 7/8" diameter circles out of different fabrics. Then I did a running stitch along the circle and pulled the string and  stitched it closed. It made these scrunched up little flower looking things. I think they work. Now it'll just take me 20 or 30 years to finish this throw!

The bathtub dilemma: I can't find the right tub! Some are too small, too big, too short, too wrong! So I tried one out...

This is papier mache with plaster on top. It's half way done. I don't know if I will finish it. I went looking for something else and found this little pan...

I might try this out. Add feet and a weathered finish. You know of course I'll have to finish both and see which looks better. They need faucets which I'll make out of wire. I wanted to fill them with "water" but I hear the resin heats up a lot. So the first tub would definitely crack.
