Lulu's Maison Day 3

Today I put in the wood floor downstairs. I used Popsicle sticks. I painted them with a mixture of 1/2 water 1/2 cream colored paint. This way the wood grain shows through.

I also put in the first chandelier.  Here's my dollhouse chandelier tutorial:

I bought molding  at Michael's. And I found a great tutorial explaining how to make the molding inside corner cuts:

 Testing my stairs in here. I chose this design because you can see through them and they don't take up too much space. They'll be getting a coat of white paint and then a shabby chic treatment later.

  12. Looking so shabby chic and wonderful! Sorry to be so behind - the house move (full size - out of the family home of 40 years) means I'm still chasing my tail to catch up on things. Looking forward to seeing some more of this though!
