Hey Y'all! Welcome Back! This is Part Two of Lilly's Room. Today I am showing the shelving. It's not easy to make shelves the fit a curved wall! But let me tell you that it is definitely possible!
I found the best way for me to make shelves for Lilly's Room was to make myself a template. I used cereal box and just kept snipping until I got the right shape to fit snug against the wall. I also though a little window seat would be sweet in between the shelves.
So, I used my templates and cut pieces from Basswood.
I painted the shelving before I installed them in the fun-kin using craft paint.
It took me several tries to get the right fit for the seat. But I finally got it!
Then I added gold polka dots to the shelving to match the walls.
I made the cushion from a piece of cardboard and foam and covered it in a simple fabric. I also added a sweet tiny piece of lace to the bench seat.
And then I decided to add curtains. I got out some sheer scraps of fabric, sprayed them with hair spray and watered-down glue. I pin them to a piece of foam in the shape that I want and let them dry. Trust me, the waiting is the hardest part. Before this, I cut a wooden skewer to the right length and painted it white. I also have another post on making dollhouse curtains HERE.
What a sweet little set of shelves! Time to glue them in place!
Thanks for stopping by! Oh... you see the bed in the last picture? I will be sharing how I made it in the next tutorial!
