Putting the Dolls Back In

6/28/2015

5 Comments

 
Today we are working on bringing everything back into the freshly painted old 'living room'. I've wanted most of my BJDs in the display cases along with my favourite old art dolls. I lost one whole shelf on one side in order to accommodate my larger dolls. They've been stored out of sight, and out of light for ages now, so it's nice to finally be able to see them.

Dolls are constantly switching places. The old Porcelain repros have moved into the dining room china cabinet, and the Kaye Wiggs MSDs have taken their place. There's still a lot of dolls on my dining room table that need a spot, so I'll see where they all go.

One thing for sure, the new lighting is vastly superior to the old fluorescent tubes at the top and bottom. The only 'negative' thing about these new LED lights is that they have a faint bluish-green glow, and that gives many of the doll's faces a slightly greenish tint. Oh well. I guess I can't have everything.

The dolls and shelves look great! I like the new lighting - the bluish-green color seems to give a calming and relaxing effect. At least to me.

Seeing the dolls next to household objects like the urns on the fireplace shows how big some of them really are.

Hope you are feeling better.

*gasp*
I would love to come and visit you please!!! What a fabulous display of your dolls. You must have such a HUGE grin on your face (and in your heart) when you see these re-vamped cabinets.
Well done Jan!

Good luck in sorting out homes for all the dolls still looking for a home now.

The display cases are full now, and we are reworking a smaller display cabinet that had music boxes in it, for the rest of my dolls.
