Tudor style dollhouse: From house to pub

At last I feel great excitement about my Tudor style dollhouse! I've been playing yo-yo with this house for months now. As it is not a proper Tudor, but a replica of the Tudor revival houses (called Mock Tudors in the UK) that were build in the 20th century, I never planned on decorating it in the Tudor style. However, the more I researched the decor of the time these houses were build, the less I liked it. I just couldn't figure out where I was going with this house. Keeping with a period when decorating is one thing. Being happy with it is quite another! And as I'm the one putting all the time, effort (fun) and money into it, I feel it's important that I actually like the house when I'm done with it!

By last week I decided to decorate it in American 1950's style, because that is a style I like and can live with. And then a few days ago it hit me.... why not turn it into a pub or shop or something? It's a small house and I have no intention of knocking out walls, but surely it was do-able? And now, finally - after two days of research (should've gone pub crawling! haha) - I can tell you that this house will be turned into a small, but exclusive coffee lounge/pub/function room. A re-purposed building!

I'm so excited about this! It will give me something completely different to work on. I will be decorating with 1/16 scale furniture, as was the intention all along. Will be a long while before I have enough furniture and accessories, but as I do have a few pieces, I thought I'd try them out and see what it looks like. This room will be the coffee shop/lounge area. I like where this is going...!

I played around with some paper I have too. The front walls of the house have been removed by a friend of mine who helped me fix a few things I needed tools for, which I don't have. We will put them back once I've done all the renovation work on the house. 

I do love these papers. I quite like using bold patterns and colours in my dollhouses. Wait till you see the size of the patterns and colour of the paper I've chosen for my other houses! They're huge! hahah 

So what do you think? Will you be popping over for a drink or coffee in a few months time when the pub is opened for business? Hope so!
