Paola Reina bedroom

Yesterday I finished the bedroom, that I was making for my Paola Reina dolls. I was verry happy that I was finallyn done and content with the result. I have been working on it for a long time, and the progress have been slow.



The room was made on a cheap shelf without sides, so I found some cheap leftover wood in a store and my boyfrtiend made it into walls. We allso used a cheap blanket for a carpet. The only furniture at this point was a small dresser from a crafts store, that I had painted green and purple. And two pillows that I had made for my dolls to sit on. 



Then my wonderful boyfriend made me a great clothing rack for myd dolls, because I really needed a place to put their clothes. Now I could hang their dresses on the clothing rack, and I was storing underwear, stockings and headbands in the dresser. 




I had asked my boyfriend to make a bed for my dolls, but we didnt really have that many options. Until we were out looking at toys, and my boyfriend found a verry cheap dolls bed. The bed were a pink princess bed for 50 cm dolls, but my boyfriend said that he could make it shorter. And so he did, he made it shorter both in lenght and it height, so now it fits my small dolls much better.
After my boyfriend had modified the bed, I had to paint it so it could looks nice again. It would have been obvious to paint it white, except that the walls and carpet are white so white furniture would just blend in. I decided that I would choose a theme, I wanted something girly and cute but I did not want it to be pink princess themed. I decided on a fairy theme, so I painted the bed lavendar, and I decided to paint the clothing rack to match. 





But now the dresser didn't match, and I started to think I might look better in a play room.
Oh and I had found this small fake plant, to put on top of the dresser. 



I quess I could just have repainted the dresser, but I allso wanted a something that looked diffrent. I had a hard time finding what I wanted in stores, but then I found the perfect little dresser in an online craft store. I knew I coulden't just paint this dresser the same color as the other furniture, that would be too much purple. I was torn between light blue and light green. I ended up decided on the latter, and im pretty happy with how that turned out. I think this dresser are super cute with those white pearl knobs, and everything fit nicely into it. 




The finishing touch was decoratimng the walls with fairy stickers from my schleich bayala advent calendar. I have been thinking about making them new bedding, but I dont feel like sewing. Right now they are just useing what originally came with the bed, and I think that is fine. 



So the room is finished!! and im pretty happy about it. My dolls seems to like it too, they look great in this room and I think it really look like a little girls bedroom.
