Master bath progress, part 3

by brae Email

In the original setup I used a metal scrapbook frame as a stand-in mirror.  I liked it, but it was a bit small for the space.  I made my own vanity mirror from strip wood framing and plastic mirror sheet by Darice.  I also added a modern faucet from ELF Miniatures in the UK (I painted the tip of the faucet black for added realism).  The vanity cabinet is a Mackintosh sideboard that I decided to use here since I liked it so well when I used it as a stand-in.

I made the eyeshadow makeup compact and have a similar one available in my etsy shop.

I modified the vanity light I bought from The Dolls House Emporium.  It originally had a faceted bead as decoration, and I replaced it with a clock face I bought at the Bishop Show in April.  I had no purpose for the clock face when I bought it; I just liked it.  :D

Since the light above the vanity is pretty bright for a standard dollhouse fixture, I plan to add two NovaLyte LED can lights to spread the light evenly in the room.  Here is the room with one taped in place.  Not quite enough light over the tub.

The working café shutters are made from half scale shutters and super tiny hinges.  My tutorial ran in the September 2010 Greenleaf Gazette.

I have some Mackintosh furniture, and it's amazing how many time periods it fits into :)
