Number One The Priors... Part Three

-
Final part of Number One The Priors, then we will be going on to make and decorate ....
For the spare bedroom I painted two pink Barbie bedside cabinets white (not finished yet as I need to paint the knobs and roses). For the light I used a draw knob
 The headboard is a table mat

  This light is a Christmas ornament and I threaded a piece of cord through the hook made a hole in the ceiling and tied it off, holding it in place with tape.
 Vase a junk shop find with a bunch of glitter flowers
 The bed base is a cut up FR doll box.
 The wall between these rooms needs some urgent attention but for now a screw holds the wall in place.
 The children's bedroom. I found these cots on eBay a couple of years ago but I don't think you can get them now? Amber 'Bashette' http://bashetteironworks.com/index.html made the bedding but at the moment I can't find Dawn's bedding (far right)??? I found the painted cupboard on eBay. The round mat is a place mat.
 The wallpaper is actually gift wrapping paper. As it's a lot thinner than wallpaper you need to be careful about what you use to stick it to the board I used a spray adhesive.

 In the attic the nanny's room.
 Blue door in the background is a Sindy door
 I made the re-ment unit a little taller with a piece of 10mm form board at the base and added a shelf along the top.
 The sink still needs another coat of spray paint. Spraying is easy so long as you can do it outside or in a well ventilated room.
Again the walls are miss shapen   from not being fixed in place when made. The wall tiles are sticky tiles for vamping up your kitchen or bathroom.
  The last room in Neal and Sarah's home (1 The Priors) is the nursery.
 A bit of a junk room still but I love my night garden wallpaper.

    Things are coming along very very nicely! Can't wait to see the story taking place in those rooms. I am excited about the airport too.

Simple Wardrobes And Storage

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
