A Season of Change
Hello! It has been awhile since I have posted and I have missed the blogging world! If you are a regular, you will notice some changes around here. First of all…”around here” has moved! I finally decided to take the plunge and move to WordPress. Something I have been on the fence about for about four years. One day, I just decided to google articles on how to do it myself and voila…here we are. Then, I decided to add a few more changes while I was at it, like dropping my former blog name “Thoughts from Alice” and just using my own name: Alice Wingerden. Be sure to note…

Christmas in the Dollhouse
It’s never too late for a holiday home tour in miniature is it? I spent a lot of time getting our dollhouse “just right” for the holidays, but never got around to photographing it till now. I hope you enjoy the tour even though it comes a bit after the holiday season! Our dollhouse has been a work in progress for a couple of years, and still has some rooms that aren’t finished, but I hope to get to work on those as soon as time allows. And we have fun playing with and decorating it no matter how far along we are in the miniature renovation! This post contains…

Christmas Village Display
Merry Christmas! This month has flown by hasn’t it? I have been busy making our home festive and filled with wonder and excitement.

I might share some snippets of how we decorated after the rush has passed, but today, I have one vignette that I really wanted to share with you. I have always loved Christmas villages ever since I was little. The individual pieces are often quite pricey, so it always seemed out of the realm of possibility for my holiday décor. I…

Dollhouse Girl’s Room Plans
If you are still following along with the Dollhouse Therapy challenge we started back in March, I have some new room plans to share today! Your co-hosts: Cassie, Anu, Emy and I are all working on ideas for our next room reveals which will happen on the last Tuesday of this month, when we will also be giving away $100 to Miniatures.com for those who have been joining us in the challenge! Today, I am sharing my basic plans for the girl’s room. Hazel has the “girl’s room” and Owen has the “boy’s room.” It was tough deciding which room to do first, but I chose to focus on the…

So here we go…let the miniature fun begin! I finally…finally...got the dollhouse living room done.
