The Bathroom
I used marble flooring and created wainscoting from balsa wood, similar to the dressing room. Instead of covering the panels with fabric, I painted them and applied a stencil and spackle design, matching the dollhouse's exterior technique. The wainscoting was installed directly on the wall without a backing, with balsa wood strips trimming the top and bottom edges.
I added skinny sticks for bead boarding on the upper wall, appreciating their beveled edges that create distinctive lines resembling authentic bead boarding.
After trimming the ceiling with a balsa wood strip, I painted everything white. To achieve a smooth, milky white finish, I applied spackle to fill any gaps and used multiple paint coats. The door, with its raised paneling, was also painted white.
When trimming exposed floor and wall edges, I carefully considered the panel's ability to close. I used balsa wood strips on the middle and left sides, lace trim for floors, and left the right side untrimmed to ensure proper closure. I recommend using thin strips and temporarily securing them with masking tape to test the fit before gluing.
I completed the interior by adding leftover trim, fabric roses on curtains and room corners, and decorative fabric trim along sections of the beadboarding. The interior is now finished, with only exterior trim pending.
