Here's an original shot of the inside of the Hotel showing wall construction.(hinged 1/4"plywood)The columns support the extended second floor. Mattel structures are skimpy in floorspace.



This corner of the salon shows the raised foundation which added 1 1/2" of height to the structure. Dolls could not wear heels and have any up hair with out having to bend their heads.
Hanging fixture is a covered plastic cup with a cluster of mini seed lights inside



Here was a preliminary layout of the furniture I planned on using. The sink set is Mattel, painted turquoise from pink. The chair set I found out was Bratz, which I then painted the fabric turquoise.


Fictionally the salon opened after covid, and I installed *required*clear barrier walls


All the walls and originally fixtures were painted white. The cabinet stickers I left because they were almost realistic.


The nail polish rack is really a photo framed to look like a shelf.


The register counter also has barriers and of course sanitized gowns and towels.


I love taking photos through the windows.


All sanitized and clean for the next day.

The salon can be very busy...oops a mask slipped.


Checking out!


The nail and pedicure station moves around, and also has a clear barrier.


This little Mattel desk painted turquoise is perfect for the nail station.


Pinterest doll hairstyles fill the walls, just like in a real salon.


Another window shot. I can open the side wall to take photos, it's hinged.


Working on a client.
