After seeing several holiday inspired dollhouse scenes, I decided to go ahead and put one in the Newport even though the house itself is far from complete.
Michael’s was having a 50% off sale on their Lemax Christmas items, so I bought what equates to an 8ft blue spruce to set up in the study. It came with a snow mound for a base, but I planned to cover it with a tree skirt and presents.
Michael’s also had ornaments and strands of garland by Merry Minis. I used a mini star ornament as the tree topper.
The lights are by Dept. 56, and I bought those on eBay. I made the tree skirt and gifts.
I made the throw blanket. The winter scene backdrop outside the window is an image called Winter Landscape and Trees by Icefront that I printed from Crestock.com and taped to a board to hold it in place.
On the bookshelf are some of the Christmas cards I printed.
I made the Christmas wrap. I bought a bag of random minis from craigslist, and the grocery bag was part of the lot.
The garland on the mantel is from HBS; I added the red ribbon bows and cards.
The room itself is still incomplete but coming along nicely. I will continue to put things together and perhaps add some more Christmas décor before Santa comes. :D
