I moved my VERO house onto my new work table recently, so my attention has turned back to it for some mild renovating/decorating. This is one of the rooms in the house whose wallpapers have seen better days. I decided to go with some very retro mod scrapbook paper from Lee's Art Supply. I do love the color scheme, and my new "tootsie roll" couch from minimodernistas fit right in!
I've been experimenting with dolls for my current book cover project, and this one did not make the cut. I actually got him at the five dollar store on a whim a while ago. He's a doll from the Twilight series who looks sort of normal until you notice his intense look and um, red eyes! This could be his pad, though, don't you think?!
Credits: Doll is from the Twilight series; couch and pillow are minimodernistas; console is PRD; igloo chairs are CB2; zigzag chairs are Reac; side table is from Fab.com; rustic side table is a sponge; light fixture is an AG Minis table; orange shelving unit is also AG Minis; wallpaper is scrapbook paper from Lee's Art Supply; rug is a carpet sample; back curtain is a Chilewich placemat. Accessories are AG Minis, vintage German, handmade by The Shopping Sherpa, Lilu Shop on Etsy, and handmade by me.
The time it took me: 22 minutes
I LOVE that wallpaper. Seriously mod. Twilight dude a little creepy. I hope you find a doll that works... and can't wait to see the end result. Congrats!!

ReplyDeleteLoving the paper! You could pretend the 'red eye' is from the camera flash :)
ReplyDeleteLove the wallpaper, great colours! I think your doll looks good in there. You could paint his eyes if you don't like them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't notice those red eyes! The room looks great. I especially like that back wal - the Chilewich placemat.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the paper and the sofa is perfect with it. I wish I could find someplace that carries great paper around here.
ReplyDeleteHey, Mini Dork! I totally dig the paper too. Should have bought more sheets of it! Doll is slightly creepy, I agree. Working on the doll for the book job now...!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tiny Fixation! Of course it's the camera flash! Mystery solved! ;) Enjoying your blog, by the way!
ReplyDeleteHi, Josje! Thanks! I could paint the eyes if I had a more delicate touch with a paintbrush...I have a feeling I'd make him look even creepier! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the placemat, Kristin! The style is one of my favorite, and this is in a new brass color.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mad for Mod! Yes, the green of the sofa really matches perfectly. The possibilities for nice scrapbook paper is really endless, and this one definitely caught my eye ;)
ReplyDeleteI want that wall paper!!! Fantastic scene, Call Small.
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I had this wallpaper in real life! I love it! Looks great with the sofa, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks much, MC! I think I may have to go back to Lee's soon for some more pieces of that paper!
ReplyDeleteHi, Angie! I'd like that paper for wallpaper as well ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing setup!
ReplyDeleteAnd... hehehe, Jasper has moved right in!
Thanks, Heather! Thanks for reminding me of his name...I should have given him proper credit right up front!
ReplyDeleteThis room is very cool. Thanks for sharing so many of your treasures, it's such a pleasure to look at your designs.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany!
Hi there, Oese! I'm glad you groove on this room. It was fun to use that palette and mix furnishings. Hope you are doing well -- hugs!
