Ok, as I wrote earlier, I have 5 dollhouses coming by mail (one of might have arrived to post today, I'll go there later on) and I've been thinking names for them. Primrose is called Rosey Beach Cottage, the name tells what it's all about. Orchid is called The Dark House - it's going to be painted dark gray or black and will have very dark interior with some withcy twist. The cake shoppe was a problem, until Michelle and Norma gave me some hints - tadaa, it's going to be called Sweetzilch Bakkery with a specialty sweet called Nada :D When my bakeress has practiced a bit her baking skills, she will send you Michelle and Norma some Nada-sweets as an opening gift, I'll contact you when the time comes :) (I'll just have to figure out how Nada's look like...)
My Buttercup-house doesn't have a name, but it's going to be Chinoisserie with the emphasis on birds and the exterior will be painted greenish-yellowish-beige to go with my library's decor. Delicate furniture, bird cages, birds, orchids, palmtrees, tile floors... I do have to do some alterations to the exterior of the house.
And then the Lily, it's going to be a mixture of French and Italian vintage decor but will probably be situated in Savannah, as it looks to me as it would belong there. And the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berentd is one of my favorites, it's just perfect. I'll probably find the name from the book.
But, as you probably have figured already out, I'm nuts, I want more.... I love Venezia/Venice and I find the architecture and general athmosphere there is just awesome, I want a Venezian house. But that will be in the distant future :)
I just got good news - my hub is taking our daughter to the ringette practice, so I get to stay at home all night! Maybe do some diy...
