The design was inspired by my husband's fraternity. The furniture was a Christmas present from him few years ago. The barber doll was commissioned and he even came with a tiny pair of working scissors!I bought the rest of the grooming supplies on Etsy.
I used scrapbook paper for ceiling and walls. I used wood and stickers for the letters. I made the clock from a wooden appliqué that I painted with metallic acrylic paints. I used the regular dollhouse lights in the interior of the shop. I used plastic brick sheet in the inserts under the windows.
I made the barber post from paper, plastic tubing and wood caps. I with a marker I drew red and blue lines on a piece of paper and then stuffed it inside the tube. The post is it with a LED mega chip inside the plastic tube and that is connected to a battery. I cut a slit down the side of the tube to allow the thin wire of the LED to come out underneath the cap at the top. The exterior sides and back are unfinished for now. When I took these photos I had not run the wire through the small hole in the front of the building to conceal it yet.
I would like to thank Jodi over at My Miniature Madness Blog for the lovely vanity set!!!
I still can't believe I won!!! Two of my favorite colors are lavender (which is also my favorite fragrance) and mint green. I already had a mint tub (a soap dish in its former life), so I guess it was meant to be!!!
