YET MORE TREASURES

 Those boys! I'm sure it won't hurt them to wait another week to move into the kitchen space with their living room furniture? 

Speaking of furniture, I came across a couple of lovely artisan pieces for the dolls house at the weekend and luckily I still had a few dolly pounds left, so could treat myself.


This lovely chest of drawers was being sold along with the mirror as a set made by the same maker back in 1997.


It's all beautifully made with all working drawers for those linens and clothes. I had thought when I bought it it would go in one of the other bedrooms and it still may, however I then saw the photo I'd shared of a children's bedroom from the dolls house source book and realised there was the same set up in that room but that the chest of drawers had a marble top.


So the set may be staying in the children's room.

I also could not resist this other item by the same artist and being sold by the same seller.


This lovely sideboard/table. My only issue now is that the red dinning room with the dark wood floor is now very dark, and this dark wood sideboard could be almost invisible along it's back or side wall.


I took this photo in the attic room which is nice and light.



So I may have to redecorate that room with either a lighter wallpaper or a paint only problem is now that the fireplace is fixed in, it will be a nightmare working round it in such a small space!

I'm not sure if a light carpet/rug would help lift the darkness, there will be a working ceiling light in time which may help. So I will have to have a think about what to do for the best.

PLEASE NOTE

If I suddenly go quiet it's because my laptop is not working and will be getting fixed. one hinge broke a long while back and the second one late last year. Then I forgot and left it on the sofa and the dog sat on it a couple of weeks back and broke a corner of the screen! Now the screen's decided to play up! So I will have to found out if it can be fixed!

1 ST FEBRUARY 2023 MOVING DAY?

 


"If  we get all the furniture in today " Robin says " Then maybe just maybe, Mum will start blogging about us and not that dolls house!"

Percy nods in agreement as Robin puts down his side of the sofa


Percy's about to put his side of the sofa down when he hears someone shouting from further down the hallway

It's very muffled but he just manages to make out their words.


"I did not catch a word of that!" exclaims Robin " whats the point in shouting down the hall? Did you get that? "


Percy sighs in annoyance ! " They said " I don't know why you are doing that because the boiler man is coming to service the boiler next week, so Mum would have to move it all out the way!" un quote "

"What! " cries Robin collapsing onto the arm of the sofa " why didn't they tell us before we carried the sofa all the way from the studio to here! "


The boys flop down onto the sofa with much grumbling and moaning. 

" Well I'm not carrying it all the way back ...today ! " say Robin firmly, he's too nice not to take it back but feels leaving it a day will show his annoyance.

" Totally agree " nods Percy " if they are not arriving for another week it can stay here overnight"


"You know what this means? " Robin asks Percy

" We have to wait another week to move it all!"

" Well yes " agrees Robin " but it also means another week of the poor readers having to hear about mum's dolls house remodel "

Both boys shake their heads in sympathy of whats to continue..
