Vickie found this great door at a thrift shop (it's a photo frame) and the scale is perfect.
 |

Painted one coat of silver over the red...left it blush.

Then I added some gel medium to some charcoal craft paint and painted then wiped it off and let it sit over night. The girl's put on the sticker letters and victorian flourishes. Vickie is cleaning the residuals off the glass.
The closets are ready to set up.
Tutorial on painting plastic doll closets is here.DIY Doll Closets.

| barbieoldnewgreenredo Filled with color grouped clothes---The full skirts really eat up the floor space. |
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo Where the handles were are two raised screw recievers---I put a piece of bent coat hanger into the holes to display dresses on. Double stick tape holds shoes on small white cardboard, easier for moving around and not permanent. |

The first cabinet on the left ended up being all pink/maroon. Goodness, doll makers are heavy on pink. Mirror guy---is still slacking off. Maybe for the

Here are the benches cut from an existing deep nostalgia box frame.

They are supposed to be for customers to sit, but seems, Vickie crashed and is taking a nap---sigh, what a slacker...lol.

Two odd thrift store finds---the cabinet is enhanced with a 'fairy garden' fence, the body jewelry stand is perfect fashion doll size. So I can display clothes on it.

Jewelry, hair accessories, mini purses fill the cabinet.

The Jewelry stand has a few purses and a low profile wedding dress. Add some bling and it is fab!

Another jewelry stand----white and everything.

Color coded and filled with fashions, purses and belts. Even room for some suitcases.

Carly is busy cleaning the last of the construction dust. The cabinet behind her, holds swimsuits, underwear, and camisoles.

I freshened this up with some silver tape and paint, and some white stickum paper in the cubbies.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
It's electric, the cash register rings, the tag scanner works, and the charge card works. The Grand loves it. I didnt' do anything on the back. ($1.99 was a steal)

I explained a couple of times this was two shadow boxes with covers, I pulled off the covers and reset the hinges so the cubby parts are hooked together.

Zoe straightens all the shoes and purses in here.
Undetermined Sound: Zzzzzzzzz-Zzzzzzzzzz-Zzzzzzzzz.
Zoe: What is that! (She looks around)
Zoe: Carly can you hear that sound?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Never mind, I think it is coming from upstairs! I'll check.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Vickie---it's time to wake up----we open in a couple of hours.
Vickie: Uh, ....oh...? What time is it?
Zoe: You had better go home and change! The Pre-Open Party is in a few hours.

Vickie: Okay, ladies----hold the fort. The flowers still have to arrive and the mirror guy---I'm going home to take a shower----everything looks great and thank you, both.
Carly: Sure, please bring back coffee. We sure need some.
Vickie:Anything for my team. If Joe calls, tell him I'm on the way home.

How fun! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteThanks, 90 percent of everything in this is 'vintage' some nearly 50 years old. I figure, someone out there collects dolls and would be interested!
