Maison Tulle (My Fashion Boutique Room Box) posted on March 17 2015 in Dollhouse Miniatures, dolls 4 Comments

I've been taking a fun room box class with the uber-talented Liz Lebosse (www.dollhousesbyliz.com), who also did a fabulous job building my dollhouse. I just finished the final details of the box, so I thought I would share the photos with you. Liz is also offering classes from her studio in Poughkeepsie. I would highly recommend it!

A few details about Maison Tulle...I imagined it as the boutique of a couturier by the name of Tulle in mid century Paris (but probably most of the period details here are not accurate). In addition to the room box, I made the painting on the wall, the dress on the mannequin and the black leather handbag on the mantle. The rest of the furnishings I collected throughout the years. Hope you like the photos!

Chandelier. I tried wrapping the chain with beige ribbons. I thought it turned out pretty reasonable.
