“Behind the scenes “

“Welcome Home” furnishings was honored to be asked by the Integrity Toy Company to create sets, backgrounds and furnishings specifically for their doll line!

You may have seen these sets in relation to recent releases of the Poppy Parker Doll, Nu Face and of course the main Fashion Royalty line.

I thought it would be fun to share some early preliminary “test” shots that I took of the sets as I built them.  See if you recognize these rooms !

Building Poppy’s living room – preliminary (how it started)

Chair test – Trying out the “butterfly” chairs. Since this was before Poppy was released, this is my stand in for size/scale:

Sliding glass door with drapes – test for scale – length – texture:

Drapes open:

Sofa side of the room w/hanging lamp and stone wall:

Chair side of the room with art work on the walls:

An “Evening” look at the entire living room:

Building the Bedroom:

Rebuilt mirror – glass implied:

Settled on the round scalloped mirror w/white knobs for the dresser:

Nu-Face “Industrial Loft” – I was provided a photo of a real (people sized) industrial loft.

This is my miniature version.  Luchia stands in for scale:

Check out these air ducts!  I was so proud of this!! Unfortunately, they could not be included in the shots of the dolls because of cropping.

“Cement” floor added:

More recently, with the release of the Monogram dolls and Convention dolls, you may have seen these backgrounds:

Paneled doorway:

Paneled fireplace wall:

Well, that’s a little peek “behind the scenes” of my work for Integrity. I hope you enjoyed it.

“Where does YOUR doll live?”

Welcome Home !

The Roy’s get a new bedroom !

Hello All !

Recently, we added on to our home. My talented hubby (a  “Jack of all trades”) did all the construction! I did all the decorating. :)

The new kitchen was completed last year. Those photos I posted before my blog, so you may or may not have seen them.

Just yesterday, we completed our new bedroom. I thought you might like to see the results. After 24 years of marriage, I finally wanted to have an adult bedroom. No more miss matched bed linens or out of date curtains. No more  make do furniture. Just nice,  simple and restful. Here are the results.

Coming up the stairs:

Inside:

My own window seat ! ( The views across the street are of a horse farm!)

Full left side wall showing built-in closet and cabinet:

Far corner houses a vintage chest of drawers that previously belonged to my Mother in Law:

Sweet pillow!

Closeup of my very “grown up” sculptured carpet!

So, that concludes my little  tour of one of our brand new spaces! Hope you enjoyed seeing a peek into my real world in comparison to my miniature world. Now, I must get back to work so I can pay for all of this!  LOL
