Dear Readers,
How was your weekend? I can't believe it's already August! We are counting the days until school starts again! Most of my days out of the office were spent with the kids making the most of our little time together. I had very few moments to spend on my hobbies but I did manage to snap a few photos a week ago.
I wanted to display some of the miniature pastries that Chloe had sent me. They are displayed below on the coffee table of Hina-chan's home. She is one of Licca's friend that I dressed up in clothes from Only Hearts Club. Those clothes fit Licca dolls to a T. They are much cheaper than the Takara fashion packs and they come in many different styles as well. I'll have to show you my Licca dolls in those outfits in another post.
But for now, here below are some photos of Hina-chan in her Barbie "My House" folding dollhouse. I got this house at a garage sale for only $10 + a bunch of furniture. It was super dirty and I had to scrape off all the damaged stickers and scrub the dollhouse for 3 days O_O. I still need to add some painting or wallpaper to the walls.
Here is the kitchen. You'll see miniature items from Re-ment, Orcara, Barbie, Mini Lalaloopsy, and Bratz. It took me forever to set up this kitchen but I am not happy with it. I hate it. It's so disorganized and I need to re-think my display. I will probably swap the furniture and appliances for others pieces and see how it goes from there.
The Re-ment stove is my favorite piece of the kitchen. I love the eye-popping red color. The fridge is from a Barbie playset.
Here is a close-up of the stove. All the cabinet doors open and there is even a broiler! My favorite miniature item is the soap bottle and the tiny gloves! Well I like the spice rack too. It's from Re-ment Fairy Tales Tableware Collection which I blogged about HERE.
And here is a full view of the "apartment". You don't see the bathroom or bedroom because they are on the other side of the walls. Which I have not yet decorated.

I love your setting in the pictures. It looks so realistic! :) The stove is fantastic, it adds so much colour in the kitchen. The little spices in the cupboard are sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks dear! The Barbie dollhouse and the furniture look quite real. It's sure a change from the usual pink!
Deletec'est une jolie maison, très vivante avec tous ces ravissants accessoires !
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup ! Bises.
Merci Rosethé! C'est les petits détails que j'aime dans une maison!
DeleteJ'ai passé mon week end à faire de la couture pour mes poupettes! Je pense aussi que le temps passe trop vite, mais je préfère ça plutôt que de m'ennuyer! ;)
ReplyDeleteTa maison est magnifique et elle me parait très grande ! J'adore ta cuisine avec tous les petits re-ments ! ( je rêve d'en faire la collection)
Je trouve que ça n'est pas toujours facile d'aménager une pièce, je change souvent les bibelots de place et avant c'était les meubles! héhé Tu vas surement trouver comment faire pour que ta cuisine te plaise! ;)
J'ai hâte de voir la chambre et la salle de bain! :) Et aussi tes poupées Licca! :)
Bonne journée Jane
bisous

Merci Agnès! Je change tout le temps l'emplacement des meubles et des bibelots! Les miniature Re-ment sont chers et rares. J'en achète rarement mais je les aime énormément!
DeleteOh my goodness, some of those miniatures are simply amazing! The spice rack! The little chef figure next to the dish soap! The kokeshi doll! Fabulous. I love the attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks Danzel! I should take a better picture of the chef. He is holding a cork bottle opener (corkscrew)!
DeleteLove it! Everything is so bright, colorful & clean. The stove is very cool, but my favorite is the hutch. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lisa
Thanks Lisa! The hutch is from the Barbie My Scene Coffee Shop playset!
Deleteare you kidding MEEEEEEEEEE????? this is amazing! that stove! all the tiny things! this is incredible! how can you be unhappy with this? if you are going to improve on it, well that I must see, because it's already fantastic! wow. I want to come play at your house. I think I would just squeal and not be able to make real words. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like the light in my photos and I need to change some of the items displayed. It's just not what I wanted so I'll see once I change a few things around!
DeleteI love Yours kitchen! Especially the refrigerator. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The refrigerator is a Barbie one. It's very roomy. I'll need to show the interior :)
DeleteWhat an amazing deal! I love the way it looks now. The kitchen is lovely and bright and full of delightful miniatures. It must have been fun working on it.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Drora
Thanks Drora! It was fun setting it up but I got frustrated midway due to my unskilled interior design Hahaha!
DeleteThe display is awesome!! How come you don't like such a cute kitchen? I love you kitchen, the red stove is so attractive, the barbie fridge and purple rack are great color! I also like the blue cupboard on the left side. Haha I saw the Kokeshi doll in the shelf and the dessert on the coffee table. Thanks for displaying them. I think you may add some curtains to the window to make it like a home more, and the current display looks great to me. The dollhouse is definitely a great deal!
ReplyDeleteI love the red stove from Re-ment but I don't like how I have displayed everything. I don't see a good cohesive picture but tons of mistmatched items. Maybe there is too many colors? I wanted to paint the purple rack in white to be honest. Or brown. The dollhouse is a good deal indeed. Now that all the stickers are gone, I can add some frames and pictures that I like.
DeleteWhat a steal, but 3 days!!! Good job then for persevering! I love the cups in the livingroom shelf. From where is that! And the re-ment stuff gets me every time! Lovely lovely, and not really disorganised!
ReplyDeletePrior to scrubbing, I had to soak it in soap and water and then in baby oil for 1 week... It was really hard to scrub everything out and I nearly gave up LOL The cups in the living room shelf are from the Re-ment Fairy Table Tableware collection and from the Tea Time Collection. Re-ment makes the best tea cups!!!
DeleteThey sure do! Baby oil?
DeleteBaby oil is fantastic to remove glue from plastic! I used it on 3 old dollhouses already and it dislodged even the most stubborn glue!
DeleteI love the clear apple set too! So that's Re-Ment again, is it? :-D I always find myself loving Re-Ment. You got a great deal on the dollhouse. You can use Goo Gone to remove stickers--it's miraculous! Love what you've done with your new place. xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteYes it's Re-ment! I tried Goo Gone but it did not work and the smell was too strong and unpleasant! Baby oil worked better.
DeleteYour dollhouse is soooo pretty! I love it, especially the re-ments ^^
ReplyDeleteIt's so full of détails, Hina-Chan is really Lucky ;)
Thank you! It's fun to decorate the house with Re-ment :D
DeleteBeautiful! You've done a wonderful job! So realistic and detailed! I have that same cat that's on th
ReplyDeleteOops I didn't finish my comment! I meant I have the same cat that's on her lap!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a cute cat! I don't know from what set he comes from though. I just got him in one of my garage sale finds as part of a big toy lot.
DeleteYes it is! I believe it's from a Barbie set, if I remember correctly. :!
