Closing the curtains to the Tudor Manor

Hello everyone,

We are finally in June. June is my favorite month.  I just love it! June means the beginning of Summer which brings so many warm days by the sea. My kids have their long break from school which means I get to spend great quality time with them. June is also the month where I celebrate my Birthday.



The Tudor Manor
Today will be the last post on Tudor Manor. Yes finally I can say that we will be closing the curtains to another wonderful project. I just loved every minute of it. I am sure that the founders of the Dolls House Emporium would have loved it too. Amy Purser was thrilled to see it all done.

So I finally got to make all the curtains for the rooms.. I think the rooms look much better with curtains. Here are the photos of the finished curtains on railings.

For the stair case window I made a simple lace curtain and the one next to it is the one for the main bed room. I used the same material that I used for the arm chair.

These pair of curtains are for the sitting room. I used this floral patter which has the same coloring of the sofa set.

The next curtains are for the dining room which are the pair with floral blue and the curtains in the green gingham pattern are for the kitchen.

 Finally the pink floral curtains are for the nursery room which the same material was used for the arm chair of the same room. The green roller blind is for the bathroom which by then started becoming fashionable in the 1930's

I got to add the last hand painted miniatures my father did for me. The flying ducks for the stair case and the new collection of the Toby Jugs in the Dining Room for the hanging cupboard.

Then finally I got to add the lights to the room. As the rooms where already decorated with wall paper and flooring I had to improvise. The bathroom and main bed room I used wall lights. The nursery I gave it a pink children's table lamp shade. The stair case also had a wall light which looked great. The lower rooms were slightly trickier. For the sitting room I used wall light at the back wall but for the dining room and kitchen I had to use a false ceiling as I wanted ceiling lights for these rooms.

Here are the pictures of the lit rooms.

And here it is all lit,




I totally love it. I will be missing not working on it but I will be still spending time going through it, wondering if there is more to add.

I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have.

Coming back to June. In 5 days I will be celebrating my Birthday. Yes folks I will be turning 37 years next Sunday 12th June. So I guess it is time for a free give away.

This time I will be giving out the Newest miniature readable book that I just made called Happy Birthday to you by Dr. Seuss. It is a lovely poem with a sense of humor but then again with a good lesson behind it.
