Currently working on...

After finishing up the 1930's Glam Townhouse, I decided that I'd like to work on something smaller and more contained.  I decided to give the Greenleaf Spring Fling a try.  Luckily for me it is more of a Spring/Summer Fling and the due date is September 3rd (Labor Day).

I'm not trying to go for the win.  Just enjoying myself working on a small creation.

1930's Glam Townhouse - Top Floor..

Originally, the top floor of the 1930's Glam Townhouse was going to be garret-like, shabby and rundown.  It was going to be Miriam Smith's large room and art studio.  In my haste to get the house done, I decided to go with the more traditional approach, a bedroom for Miriam and a bedroom for Miriam's daughter, Constance.  Miriam is supposedly a widow.

Miriam's room...

The lamp on the dressing table is my first attempt at a handmade lamp...

 A love letter on Miriam's dressing table (a secret love?).

Miriam's daughter, Constance's room...(Constance looks more like the unwed Eveline than the supposedly widowed Miriam.)

 These rooms were done in haste and I will probably go back to them sometime.  But for now it is time to put the 1930's Glam Townhouse to bed.

I hope you've enjoyed the tour!

1930s Glam Townhouse - Bedroom...

This room was my favorite room to work on, more Hollywood Regency than Art Deco.  I got my inspiration from the bedroom set in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day which is a fun movie to watch...

The glass tiles are from Home Depot (oops one light is out!)...

 I had intended to have a lot more glamourous dresses in the closet but I quickly came to find that miniature clothing is not my forte...

The fabric that I used fro the wall and bedspread was from a favorite dress of mine that had become a bit snug!

The wall was simple to create.  I pinned the fabric and batting to graph paper and sewed along the graph lines...

 Gone with the Wind was a favorite movie and book of mine when I was a teenager.  The nightstands are part of light sculpture from the dollar store...

The curtains from the same materials.  I didn't keep track of the grain sometimes it is going horizontal and sometimes vertical...
