Seats are in!

Well as you can see, I have filled the cabinets with seats. This unit has 3 shelves which are adjustable, which is great as I can move them according to whatever scenes I want to set up. They are just a tad narrower (not as deep as the previous cupboards) but being white are much brighter looking, especially with all the items in them! As you can see I have not taken down the whole apartment set up set. The kitchen was always in the previous cupboard but at the opposite end. I may leave it there for awhile as that end is harder for little ole me to reach! Even though I do have a step stool, it's a long stretch over the kitchen counter.










Here you can see just how many chairs I can fit in. You have to remember to leave leg room for them sitting.

In this pic you can see part of the counter. There is a double sink there but I cover it over with boards as I never use it. At one time I had the Drysdale Beauty Salon set up here.
I plan to wallpaper the wall under the cupboards. Everything was a mustard yellow before and quite drab. Not to mention dark as you can see by the photo.

The next two pix are just long views from the end of the kitchen. To the left is the neighbour's laneway and a window. The only one that opens in the basement. I still have to reattach the xmas lights. Maybe this year I will turn them on LOL


The dolls facing you are sitting above my computer that is in Dolton. It is not online as I use it soley for the Doltonites, inventory etc etc etc. There is an ell shaped table behind them with a tv stand on top. It's about 48" long, so you can imagine the distance in between the computer and the kitchen counter. You can see the rocking chairs on the top shelf of it behind the dolls. It's where Tim's Bar is. I am still resetting that up. I also used that site for my Halloween scenes and a fashion show that I set up last year.
With no walls in the apartment to break up the living area and kitchen it really makes for a big room. The computer stand is where the kitchen would end and the living room start. Behind the wall cabinets/cupboards is a bathroom, complete with shower. At the opposite end (behind the living room) is a bedroom and off that is another smaller room which at one time was a baby room and then became a walk in closet. When I first moved Dolton down there, I tore off all the doors (I hate doors LOL) and turned the walk in closet into a sewing room. Of course we all know that the dolls have taken over every spot in the basement so I don't sew anymore LOL

Well it's 2.am. and my bedtime. Gonna have a busy day later with the cabinets arriving. We have to take inventory of all the boxes and then uncrate them. Thank goodness it is not supposed to rain! With the wet summer that we have had it was a constant worry that the skies would open up when the cupboards arrived. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Nite all!
