I *love* the colored backgrounds! The colors you've chosen are wonderful!

I think they both work very well, but I am probably leaning towards the coloured backgrounds. I think it makes it 'pop' a bit more. Looks absolutely wonderful.

Wow! I like it, really amazing and such a 60's feeling... :-D

this looks great! I really like the different background colors - definitely makes everything stand out ^_^

I agree....if you left the backgrounds colorless, it would have washed into the neutral wall behind it. Love the colors...makes the whole dollhouse pop. Also plays off the artwork above! Fabulous work again! :o)

relle* (41 months ago | reply)
thank you all for your feedback - really appreciated : )
lucybelle_crater - this one doesn't have a back either - i've cut foam core to size, covered them in coloured card and squeezed them into each hole

Ah, I have been in this situation before... but, change is always good! My initial dollhouse in the Ikea shelves had coloured backgrounds however, I have now gone for a white background instead. Seeing your pic above does show off the furniture in a very mod and groovy little way... I like it! And, it fits in with the pic hanging above it! Sometimes, the rest of the furniture in the room can depict which way to go. It's all about balancing the colours in the room and not making one area stand out too much over the others... all just needs to blend in perfectly. Heck, I love everything you do... you're a true style master in my eyes... from your interior pics to the pics you take of your awesome collection of dolls and doll furniture etc. You're truly inspiring and have a very distinct style about you!

I think the colors look fabulous, and totally enhance the furniture. What brand are the shelves? I like that they are on casters, so your have a mobile home, teehee

The colours are excellent Narelle ! What a beautiful display to look at .....I'd be sitting and looking at it all day if i was you !
relle* (41 months ago | reply)
thanks glamourfae
millie&jill - i bought it from an australian furniture chain (oz design) - but being made in china, they probably could be found elsewhere
thanks blossom - it is nice to have some of the furniture out permanently

This is terrific! You could paint or wallpaper pieces of mat board cut to fit snugly into the rooms to change the background.
Kogepanic (41 months ago | reply)
I love the colors. You could live with them for a while and see if it "takes". :D
Big Red Angel (41 months ago | reply)
I love the colors as well. I have my dolls set up in our guest bedroom closet and would love to add wall paper. :-)

Just stumbled across this picture, and I have to say--I absolutely LOVE it! I'm a sucker for more "modern" looking houses, and this one has me absolutely drooling. Wonderful job!
relle* (38 months ago | reply)
thanks girls
staciem - thanks - it's the closest i can get to "modern", living in a 90 year old edwardian house *L* - nothing like living through your dolls

ROFL!! I know just what you mean.

Oh my, I don't think I've come across a more perfect mod dollhouse! The Mattel Modern furniture looks absolutely fabulous against the solid color walls. What a fantastic job!
P.S. - Your Shag print is the perfect touch!

I love this; thinking of Christmas present from my daughter as a Barbie house. What are the dimensions of the bookcase. Does it have a particular name/style/model #? Was thinking too that perhaps using fabric scraps as backgrounds.
