After months of putting it off, I finally made a last minute decision to use this green scrapbooking paper. Tried two other colors before this and was about to rip out the floor and replace it with something else when I realized this green, which I was planning to use in the Contemporary Ranch (should I ever get around to building it), would look nice here. The &#8220;shelf&#8221; around the room is crown molding. I got the idea to use it that way after seeing something similar in the Pottery Barn catalog.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/dollhouse\/orchid\/bathroom_empty.jpg\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>\n<p>I added a back &#8220;wall&#8221; under the window because it looked weird to have the tub \/ shower up against the sloped roof. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the quasi-finished bathroom.

Still have to make towels and hang the toilet paper holder (which is from the Chrysnbon bathroom accessories kit). <\/p>\n<p>Awhile ago, I started looking for decorative wall outlets for the Orchid. I originally wanted them to cover up two little mistakes downstairs (one has since been covered up by the new wallpaper). The only outlets I could find were the working ones by Cir-Kit&#8230; these were too big and bulky, and I didn&#8217;t actually need them to work. After a lot of searching, I finally found some&#8230; they&#8217;d had them at Dollhouses, Trains, and More all along! I just never looked carefully at that particular display (it was a display of doorknobs&#8230; why should I have expected to find wall outlets there?!) They&#8217;re made by Island Crafts &#038; Miniatures. I bought almost all the outlets and decorative light switches that were in stock. I&#8217;m planning to put them throughout the house but the bathroom is the first room where I&#8217;ve used any.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/dollhouse\/orchid\/closeup_outlet.jpg\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/dollhouse\/orchid\/closeup_switch.jpg\" style=\"margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px\"><\/div>\n<p>At some point I will be adding a shower curtain, shower head, etc. I&#8217;m going to make the rod for the shower curtain out of a metal holder thingie that came with my hamster&#8217;s new water bottle&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bedroom was the first room I decorated when I finished the house, and nothing&#8217;s really changed since then.
