In this dollhouse project, I transformed a small third floor room into a bathroom. Since the room originally lacked a door, I constructed a partition wall with a faux door using balsa wood. The wood was conveniently the right width, eliminating the need for trimming. I positioned a dollhouse kit door in the center of the partition, tracing its outline and dry-fitting the piece to ensure a seamless connection with the existing wall. After adding a door knob and matching stencil designs, the partition began to look like an original part of the kit.
Flooring and Finishing
For the floor, I used a scrapbook paper that resembled tile and matched the wallpaper's color. After carefully measuring and cutting the paper, I glued it in place and sealed it with gloss varnish for protection and a realistic tile appearance.
Bead Board Wall Treatment
To enhance the room's aesthetic, I added bead board using skinny sticks. I installed the sticks three inches up the wall, carefully gluing them in place and avoiding premature painting to prevent warping. After installation, I painted the bead board and added baseboards. The project remains a work in progress, with final trim to be completed after dormer window installation to ensure proper fit and assembly.
