American Girl Grace's Street Bistro Scene

We've added a new room in our dollhouse with this Parisian street scene for Grace and her friends.  Although, we do not have Grace yet, we are ready for her.  Take a look at how I put it together.

Here is an overview.

I started by covering a box with red poster board and gluing on the images of the windows and the pastry menu boards.  The open/close sign is an image glued onto cardboard.  I added an extra piece to the top and slanted it for the roof.

The chairs I had, but they have been recently located at Hobby Lobby, and I painted them red and added the seat cushions.  The dog is from the My Life As raincoat set and the table base a candle holder and tabletop a round piece of unfinished wood that I painted white.  The pink carafe was a thrifty find that I painted with glass paint, the menus images, and the fruit is polymer clay and some accessories from Our Generation sets.  The menu chalkboard is from Hobby Lobby along with the Eiffel Tower glass vase.  The side wall is scrapbook paper and the flooring is some images that I printed out to resemble a stone grassy walkway.  

The background wall is an image that I cropped into several pieces and printed in large sections and taped to the wall.  The pastry cart is a DIY project also that I have here on this blog.

The red lanterns are from Ikea from their clearance Christmas section.  Love them as they do have battery operated lights.  The flower piece is a nice touch of red and greenery that serves well for the ambiance.

Leilani and Ivy have a peaceful place to grab a bite to eat and catch up on times.  They are waiting patiently for their friend Grace to arrive.
