I've painted it a light brown based cream and it's looking really good. I'm going to use different wallpapers for some rooms but cream is pretty easy and universal so I think it'll be the best base colour to work with.
I'll eventually get these windows. Nice and simple. I'd like to find some doors I like my so far nothing.
To start with I don't want to be too ornate, the apartment is supposed to be pretty normal for a studio apartment shared by four girls who are barely making ends meet i.e spending all their money on fashion.
The studio will be the centerpiece of my story, and I'm going to try and make a few different places for them to hang out, but there are characters who visit the girls in the house and obviously I want to get into their sides of things. That means I can make other apartments and all sorts of locations.
The girls in my story are as follows, and I want to get up separate profiles once I have them fleshed out a bit.
There's Marquelle Dale, an Electro Pop Jasper. She's known as Dale to most people and hails from Finland. She came over for exchange and was discovered by a modelling agency. She dropped her course without her parents knowledge and moved in with a girl she met at the same agency. My pic, she's the only one I have with me, the rest are still in transit or on preorder.
Hope Savage, an Electro Pop Rufus Blue (One of my favourite dolls ever). My christmas present from my partner, he's so good to me. Believe it or not, that's her real name. She's a born and bred London girl. She comes from a normal family with many siblings, including a twin sister, but the two couldn't be more different. The girls live with her in her apartment.
Celia, a YeYe Amelie. She's my Christmas present from my parents. They usually just give me $20 but I managed to convince them to let me buy something so I have something to open for Christmas. Cece is french, but moved between divorced parents and lived in both Paris and London on half of the year. This is her first time not living with either parents. She is a rebellious girl who seems to naturally lean toward the wrong side.
Nameless girl, a Chill Factor Neve, who is my christmas present to myself. I don't know what she's about yet. But she makes four! I think she's adorable!! The most I'll eve spend on a Dynamite Girl I think, but maybe not a Dynamite... boy? I want a boy next! Probably a Kyu.
And I'll figure out who these girls are once they arrive. The two on the side are In the City Dayle (who will be Hope's twin) and Reese (who is like, my dream DD girl, so glad I got in on this preorder!), and the middle is Fashion Royalty (my first FR!) Nu Face Perk Colette.
I also have a sporty Ken on the way, he's going to fit in well I think. His silly smile will add a bit of normality and humour to it all.
Colette is my favourite IT doll ever, and I'm super excited to be getting one. I think she's cute and sexy all in one. SUPER EXCITED. I'm not a huge fan of the Fashion Royalty girls, but not in a way that I don't like them. I just wouldn't own a lot of them. I do love looking at them.
I have a lounge set, kitchen set, one bedroom set, and a dining table set on the way. I'm going to repaint it all to my tastes before you see the real thing, doll and house all together. I'm hoping to get back into photo stories, I had great fun with my BJDs all those years ago.
Anyway, I thought I'd update because I'm actually doing things and thinking about things, which I had a big gap with. Fibromyalgia-wise, looks like I'm going into hospital for treatment but we'll see how that helps. Hopefully it does because I don't know how my mentality will fair if it doesn't,
Take care! <3
