The desk is actually a sewing machine table, probably from about 1940s although I'm not really sure. The machine didn't work and has been removed. There is a coat of pink paint under the white which will be revealed when I eventually get around to sanding the edges. This photo has been posted before, I forgot to take a new one showing the gorgeous shabby white mirror I bought for this corner - next time :)
This wardrobe is dark oak, it's only got one coat of paint on it at present. I'm thinking about painting it a pastel colour rather than leaving it white, or decorating it with some stencilling perhaps. (Any volunteers to finish painting the ceiling, etc?)
I bought this pretty little vintage evening bag from a charity secondhand store for about $8, and the vintage handkerchiefs from a flea market in Sydney for just a couple of dollars each. I need to find some more to use as doll house linen...

This room is really pretty and didn't seem to be in the same building as your other room because it is so ..clean ! :):)
The cupboard looks great in white :) and those vintage hankies are really gorgeous.
LOL Sans - yep this is a 'normal' room :) ... but I love the 'quirky' upstairs best ...
So beautiful your room, I like very much the style and white colour of furnitures...you're a great miniaturist and a 1:1 artisan ... regards
A lovely , fresh and pretty room. Non, I'm sorry I cannot help you with the ceiling...I suffer from heights on a ladder ;o) Anyway why do you want to paint that border? it gives a bit of division between ceiling and walls, I quite like it. Have fun displaing your new buyings Rosanna
The room is very nice! I love the white furniture! A hug, Francy
Beautiful room, Norma, great furniture! and I want to help painting!! I love painting and decorating rooms ;-)
It's lovely!!
You've just reminded me - I have a lot of vintage hankies somewhere in my hoard . . .
It's looking so pretty and clean, Norma! I'm enjoying living vicariously through you! LOL!

Lovely room. I like its feminine style and the teddy bear and pram on the wardrobe.

Thanks Paky! And by the way, I put your little gift in the mail today :)
Hey Rosanna, if you don't like working on ladders maybe you could send your father over - ask him to bring his own ladder! However best not to tell him that he's unlikely to have it on the return journey ;) Appreciate your suggestion re the moulding between the walls and ceiling but it's already got some paint on it.
Thanks Francesca.
Michelle, you are welcome to help anytime!! However, I should tell you that one of my previous 'assistants' almost killed herself! She cut through a wire that she thought was part of the old telephone system but it was a major electricity wire! So I think working for me is a bit risky ;)
Glenda, did you find those vintage hankies? I think it's possible that some of those in the handbag might just turn up "elsewhere" :)
Jody, I'm a bit concerned that you are the second person to comment that it looks so "clean" - like it's kind of a suprise - I'm not too sure how I should take that :) I think I'm going to shabby the furniture a bit tho, what you see as 'clean' I see as a bit too "pristine" :)
Genevieve, I really like them too, the old teddy was my husband's childhood toy, I found the pram at a flea market, I think I paid about $10 for it. It's lined with pretty satiny fabric.
