So for a while I’ve wanted to do a post where I show off all
7 doll rooms that I’ve made so far. Some of these rooms I have written making
of posts for previously but others I have never before shared on my blog. The
idea for making a doll room in a cereal box came from My Froggy Stuff on
YouTube, I have adapted her ideas to great rooms which suit my dolls.
The Forest of
Enchantment Living Room
This one was the first one, the one that started it all.
This room was partially inspired by the stage show The Forest of Enchantment from Disneyland Paris. That show features
Rapunzel, Merida and Pocahontas who are usually displayed in this room. After I
bought him Flynn Rider also hangs out in this room. The furniture in this room
often varies and gets changed around to create different arrangements for the
dolls to be displayed with.
Tiana’s Café
Given how much I love her I was obviously going to make a
room of some sort to display Tiana in! I decided a Café would be more
economical than a restaurant in terms of space. Later on I considered making
Tiana a bakery inspired by The Great
British Bake Off, I ultimately decided not to make this but as I’d already
made and bought things for the bakery I created a combined café/bakery. The café
is a great set for displaying various dolls in, at the moment Anna, Jasmine,
Supergirl and the Winter Soldier are having afternoon tea in Tiana’s Café!
Megara’s Greek Villa
I came across a picture of a Greek island from an old
calendar of my mum's and realised I could use it as a large window in a doll room. Megara’s
Greek Villa was the result. This is one of the more simple rooms I have made
but it’s an effective one for displaying Megara. Later on Hercules joined
Megara after I found him for a pound in a charity shop.
The Art Gallery
Out of all the rooms I’ve made this is the one which follows
a My Froggy Stuff tutorial the closest. The bench means this is a great set for
displaying dolls who have unarticulated legs and can’t stand. One of my
favourite things about this one is that it can be rearranged to create
different spaces. Also the postcards that are on the wall as paintings in the
gallery are just blu-tacked on so they can be removed to create different
exhibits.
The Disneyland Paris
Room
I wrote about how I made this one here and little has
changed since I made it. The seating in this room gets changed relatively
frequently depending on what is in use. This room has been a good one for
displaying various Disney dolls in.
The Bookshop
I wrote about how I made this one here, since I made it I
have added another bookcase which was previously in The Forest of Enchantment
Living Room. One of my favourite things about the bookshop is that it has a lot
of detail without looking cluttered. As you might expect, since I bought Belle the other week she has been in the book shop a lot.
Batgirl’s Batcave
I wrote about how I made this one here a few weeks ago. I’m
still very pleased with how this set came out, this has been a great set for
just displaying Batgirl.
So that’s it for now. I have plans to make more doll rooms
in the future however for now there’s nothing definite in the works. Possible
upcoming rooms include a beach hut, a space station based on the Star Tours
Ride, a new Avengers HQ, a room for Mulan, a room for Jasmine base on Agrabah Café
at Disneyland Paris or some sort of Frozen room. Mostly it depends on what dolls
I feel could have their own room and what supplies I have available.
