I am so excited to announce that the last three rooms of the Mouse House are complete! I am saving the overall big “reveal” post for a couple of days, but wanted to share photos of the final stretch now.

THE DINING ROOM
I built a table by taking a a broken one I found at a garage sale and adding a new top so I could have six place settings. The table was then covered with an old embroidered handkerchief I knew I had in my stash and once I tucked the corners in with a couple of sewing stitches, it made the perfect tablecloth. I set the table with the white dishes I made in California and then added a full meal from the pieces I had previously sculpted out of polymer clay. I plan to change these settings for various holidays but decided spaghetti was a year-round choice!

The back of the dining room holds a large buffet filled with various dishes and knick-knacks and a lamp I made with a handmade lampshade.

I also made a hanging plant for the window.

The corner of the dining room was the perfect place to put a table displaying the “Victoria Sponge” dessert I made with clay as well as the “family portraits” I printed and framed for the walls.

The hanging light was made out of a drawer handle and a piece of chain I wrapped around the electrical wire. I think it’s perfect above the table.
