Addy's bedroom was created on shelving units from Home Depot. They are
also at Walmart. There are five shelves to each unit, but I only use
four to allow the dolls room to stand. Addy's bedroom is 24x48 and
approximately 24 inches tall. We had some sheet rock available so we cut
it for the walls. Hobby Lobby has scrapbook paper 4 for $1.00 if the
paper's price is originally 69 cents or under. The brown paper was full
priced at 79 cents a sheet. I bought 8 sheets of the brown and 8
sheets of the flowered paper. At Lowe's I bought the trim for about
$2.67.
I painted the trim with left over paint that I had on hand. I
attached the scrapbook paper to the sheet rock with Elmer's Multi-Purpose
Spray Adhesive then sprayed the back of the trim and attached it to the
scrapbook paper.
The bed is American Girl Addy's bed and bedding. The pictures were thrifty find $1
each. The dresser was $6 thrifty find and the shelf was $2,
the rug was 49 cents. The chair was $16 at an
antique store. The quilt was a thrifty find $1. The dining room table
and chairs were $5 thrifty find. They are Batatt (Our Generation
brand). The two room dividers were thrifty finds about $12. The
tea set is one I had when my daughter was little. I made the biscuits
from air dry clay.
Thank you for sharing this! I love "how-tos" as I don't have any ideas for crafting on my own.
ReplyDeletethank you for showing how creative you can get with diy and thrift store finds.
ReplyDeleteReally have been enjoying the Living A Doll's Life blog during this stay at home time. I enjoy all eras of the AG dolls. Love to set up scenes for them to match the clothing styles I sew for them. You and the other gals at your site give me great inspiration. Thank you for all your wonderful posts!!
