I am starting off this blog with a post that combines two things I love: Harry Potter and American Girl dolls! I decided to make a Hogwarts dorm room for my AG doll. My doll was placed in Hufflepuff by the sorting hat so it’s all about the yellow and black! I have been scouring the internet for inspiration:
There will be a four-poster bed with curtains, of course, something like this one:
There is a wonderful tutorial for Julie’s bed on American Girl Ideas blog which would work perfectly for a Hogwarts bed:
I will decorate the walls with castle-type stones, wood beams, wall sconces, stained-glass windows, fireplace . . .
And lots of accessories to make it seem more “real” like a trunk, house scarf, wand, books, cauldron . . .
This blog is full of ideas to get me started on Hogwarts accessories:
