Rich Toys Vintage Dollhouse Tour: 9. Girl's Room

I want to take a moment to remind you that a section of the roof was cut and a board inserted to create a third floor for the dollhouse. Although I had initially planned to make a staircase from the boy's room to access the floor above, I changed my mind. The residents will just have to levitate to the top floor, won't they?

Adding the third floor allowed for two more rooms to decorate. This picture shows part of the cut section and part of the red chimney.

Just an interesting note here:  the first floor of the dollhouse is 8" high, the second floor is 7" high, and the top floor is a mere 6" high, and that's at the peak! So furniture placement is a challenge on this floor, to say the least!

The blurry-beige-curvy-things you see sticking out in the foreground are craft sticks. They are glued on to keep the removed section of the roof from falling through when it's put back on for storage. Also, when the dollhouse is in storage, there is a piece of plexiglas to fit the play side (open side) of the dollhouse further protecting it during the months the dollhouse is in the closet.

Prior to renovation, the girl's room was located on the second floor in the middle (current boy's room) and shared space with all the nursery furniture. Now, located all by itself, the girl's room presents nicely, showing off all original 1950's furniture. The bedspreads were handmade by my mother from material left over from one of my childhood dresses. Ever creative, mother used pink nail polish to paint the two lamp bases and the old radio to match the color theme of the girl's room.

The "Hodge-Podge" room is next...
