Dollhouse Therapy: June Plans

Happy Tuesday!  So my cohosts (Anu, Alice, and Emy) and I had all planned on sharing our Dollhouse Therapy June plans last week, but sometimes life gets a little crazy and things don’t go as anticipated.  When that happens, you just reset your sale and postpone a week! So here we are already in the second week of June (how did that even happen?) and I am excited to show you my plans for the spaces I am working on this month, which will be the last month.  That’s right, at the end of this month there will be a final dollhouse reveal and we will also be giving away a $100 credit to miniatures.com !  And those who have been playing along will have the chance to link up and show their final creations as well.

This month I will be working on the kitchen as well as the nursery, which was sort of a last minute plan.  We had this extra attic space and we thought about creating a playroom, but we just didn’t have the right pieces.  We happened to already have a little cradle, so Emmy and I decided to just go ahead and create a nursery.  Here are the plans for that space, and I was mostly inspired by my friend Amber’s dreamy mountain mural.Dollhouse Nursery PlansPin

Emmy selected the colors for our own version of Amber’s mountain mural.  We had a cradle on hand, as I mentioned, and we decided we would boho it up with some fringe, inspired by this awesome cradle.   We had a little  tiny black tricycle on hand, as well as a wooden wing back chair that is getting a makeover.  Ours had upholstered cushions, so I plan to use some leftover black and white fabric from the girls’ mattresses.  (Pillow pictured above, however, is from Wayfair).  Finally to add a fun little touch, I am DIY-ing a teeny tiny tassel garland similar in color to this one from TasselLove on Etsy.

Now let’s take a look at the design we are going for in the kitchen.

The above mood board is more like a loose interpretation. 😉 We have cabinets that I painted mint, and I created marble countertops.  I found the refrigerator on etsy. The cast iron stove came from my childhood, but you can find a similar one here. I based the plans for open shelving loosely on my own open shelving and even brought in some jadeite from miniatures.com.  And I will admit my shelves are far from perfect, but they’re up and so far they are staying on the wall.  So yeah.  I am creating my own lighting similar in look to the pendants seen here, and I already owned miniature sailboat art but I did find one for you on etsy, in case you want your own!  For some of the smaller accessories like the bread box, baguettes, glasses, and even paper towel holder, I turned to miniatures. com.  We have a dining table, sailboat picture, and chairs already in place, and here’s a little sneak peek I shared with you earlier.

So there you have it!  On top of all of that I would like to add some character to the little hall area, and spruce up the front porch.  But I also have to wrap up the school year with my kids and squeeze in a trip to the beach this month, so like I said… sometimes plans don’t go as expected. And I will be pretty excited with the progress I’ve made no matter what.  Now be sure to visit my cohosts Anu, Alice, and Emy and check out their June dollhouse plans!

    I wanted the jadeite too! It was too cute. Can’t wait to see that mural! And I love how much your kitchen looks similar to your real one. Not exact, but a similar feel. 🙂

    Love that inspiration cradle and I have always loved Amber’s mountain wall mural. The nursery is going to be so cute. You also have a picture of one of my all time favourite kitchens in your mood board. I’m so excited to see these rooms!

    That little macrame cradle is so cute is it just an inspiration or are you going to re-create it? I can’t wait to see the final reveals. My Winnebago will be waiting for me when I get home so I’m supper excited to get started on my own miniature project. Maybe I can win that $100 credit to kick it off….

    I can’t believe it’s almost over already! Tiny houses get completely decorated so much faster than big houses ;). I’ve had so much fun following along–can’t wait to see the last rooms!
