Welcome to the Doll’s House
This week Terri has Indoor/Outdoor Decor as the theme for Sunday Stills, and as I’ve just had a visit from my daughter, SIL and two precious grandchildren, I’ve gone with a photo from their visit.
My granddaughter, 3 year old Miss E, loved getting to know all the inhabitants again.

Doll’s House renovation time
I won this delightful old doll’s house in a silent auction a year or so ago. As it was a Bushfire Recovery fundraiser I just kept adding to my bids and I ended up outbidding everyone else!
Once I had it home, a good friend helped me get it ready for a visit from my grandchildren and I was thrilled with the result and so was the little one! It’s amazing what a difference some new wallpaper (coloured paper), pictures, stickers, a glue stick, ribbon plus new furniture and a family of little people can make!
She’s been back to stay for the weekend since that first visit and we had even more fun together, sorting out all the furniture.

Terri is our generous host for #SundayStills and her post can be found here . Next week the theme for Sunday Stills is – Eerie, maybe something to do with Halloween do you think?
Thanks for stopping by.

Now you’ve got me worried! I tried looking up the correct way of writing doll’s house and even asked my sister who knows everything, and I see you’ve done it as dolls’ house.

My daughter bought a dolls house on EBay two years ago for her two little boys and they love it. The interior decor is not that sophisticated, but their Playmobil people like living in it!

What a wonderful dolls’ house!! I’ve always been fascinated by everything miniature, so of course I’ve loved dolls’ houses. We had a very nice dolls’ house and think it’s still around somewhere. If we had a bigger house and lived in Sweden it would be nice to have it as decoration somehow, but it’s probably better to give it to someone with kids.

Thanks Susanne, the house is quite old and full of wonder in the eyes of a 3 year old.

Debbie this is so cool to be able to play with your granddaughter in her dollhouse. And decorate it too! Love the orange room–wonder who’s idea that was? Perfect for a quick Sunday Stills post today! Enjoy your precious time!

Thanks Terri, it was too good an opportunity to not use the weekend activities! Yes there are some tell-tale decor hints that it was me who decorated it – good pickup!

I love that you’ve added their names to the outside wall! I bet it gets hours of play. Nice twist on decor. Kids toys certainly need resilience!
