This is the entry hall of my dollhouse. It's still a work in progress because I need curtains.   :)

 :wave:Celeste, I like your choice of wallpaper.  It is hard to find small patterns that fit the scale of these houses, at least that is what I have found.  I think the lace looks pretty neat as a curtain alternative.  Nice job all around!  ;D

Thank you Joe. I hope to do the ceilings, crown molding and lighting to finish this room. This wallpaper is by MiniGraphics.

Wowza! It looks so nice. The wallpaper is gorgeous - was it a pain to put on?

Good morning Celeste  :wave:

What a charming house you have  :love:

You are at the beginning of a journey I took years ago and believe me when I say that I can become addictive  ;)

I have years of research behind me when it comes to what is called as "playmocompatible" accessories including floorings and wallpapers and I my favorite supplier is without a doubt Sid Cooke as they stock the Brodnax wallpaper and murals range and here is the link :

Have fun !

I've found more wallpaper for the dollhouse, and am just waiting for it to arrive. Now if I could find a bunch of money I would be really happy.  ;)
