Today for the Letter D:

One of the best parts of working on dollhouses is the decorating. I like it as you get to work on many crafts in one project: decorating, designing, crafting, color-coordinating, building, etc. Well, to be truthful, building is not my favorite thing to do, (there is a lot of cutting, measuring and gluing of trim wood when doing a house.) My favorite part is thinking up the theme, the colors, coordinating ideas, designing the decor, deciding what fits in, and making the accessories. It also results in a lot of changes as the thing you thought would fit sometimes doesn't, so you have to decide on what to make or use that looks better instead.

* Here's a past post on some of the assorted decorations I've made and how I decided to use them when building a wall shelf for the den in my Victorian dollhouse. 

Above: Here's the finished shelf. I loved making this bookshelf as it was fun incorporating the tiny charms in with the travel theme using the same world map scrapbook paper I used on the room's walls. * You can see the video of the full house here in the right column. (Scroll past top blog link.)

Here are the other bookcases and handmade seat by the window. I use and make a lot of books as they always look cool. The curtains are handmade. The bookcases are from kits. The bookcases and seat also use the same scrapbook paper background so it all ties in together.
