Bluebell Cottage (Riverside Lodge) House Tour

Hello everyone!

 Last year, when I bought my Cedar Terrace in eBay, I saw that the seller was also offering a Bluebell Cottage/Riverside Lodge for a very good price, so I ended up buying the two (and saving on shipping!).
It was missing the stairs (which I never use anyway), a railing and the sign on front.

I adore Bluebell Cottage! This little house is adorable with its soft pastel colours and unusual design. It does come with its challenges when it comes to actually using it though; as it's quite small and comes with fixed pieces (the beautiful stove in the living room), I found it quite difficult to wallpaper (please excuse any mistakes you might see) and furnish, as not much fits.

I've been working on it for the past few weeks, and here's the result! 

In Arcfield this is the home of the Alpaca family, the Andes.

This is an overview of the house as it sits on my shelf. If you're familiar with the building, you will probably notice a couple of changes; originally, the area where I put the kitchen is open, as is the area where I put the children's bedrooms (you can see the original balcony railing in there). I closed the opening with a cardboard piece and made a little floor structure that I put in the top floor to add a little more usable space to the building (it's where the baby's crib is).

Credit goes to my boyfriend, who helped me adjust and cut the cardboard and gave me the idea for the extra area! This "room" is a piece of rectangular foam (I got it from the box where my cellphone's cover came in) glued to a piece of cardboard and wrapped in a light brown soft material, similar to felt but smoother. You'll see it more clearly in the pictures below.

Living and dining room area.

As Rick Andes is the town's doctor, the family has a telephone so that he can be easily reached if there's an emergency (though, since he's usually out doing his rounds on his bicycle during the day, that's not always so easy!). 

His wife Ariadna is a popular dressmaker, and she's always working on some project!

Ariadna also loves flowers, which is why all of her wallpapers have flowers on them, and her daughter's called Fiorella!

 W're now at the top floor. Here's Rick's and Ariadna's bedroom.

And these are Fiorella's and baby Óscar's bedrooms.

In the bottom picture you can see more clearly the floor piece I made. It's really soft!

And that's it! It's a small, yet very cute home. It was challenging but I'm pretty happy with the end result, it turned out better than I thought it would. :) 
Hope you all like it as well!

Here are some extra pictures of the family in their home!

Have a wonderful day!
