Dollhouse Update 3



Well the painters came today, did a quick first coat on the upper floors, mumbled, complained and then claimed that this shit was too hard, and left.
In their defense, it was 5am and the rooms were pretty dark.
I hope they come back! I miss them!

Well my designer is coming today and hopefully we can hit the store and find some really cool items that won't break the bank.

Let's cross our fingers!

Happy Shopping!

Dollhouse Update 2


original color is a mahogany and I'm painting the pieces white and black for now!

Okay this shit is hard, and expensive!
I was thinking dollhouse, miniature, easy peasy.
It is fun, time consuming, exhausting, oh and did I mention hard!

With me being a full time mom to two little girls and wife to one big boy, finding time between hockey practice, homework, school, swim lessons, keeping up with the house and running my own business, has been hard work!

There are so many amazing tutorials, blogs and websites dedicated to miniatures, I can't wrap my head around the direction that I want my house to go!

I made a budget for each room, and I think I blew that with my first few online purchases. (pics to come once they arrive)

I was however able to find some really inexpensive pieces that I think will work well in the house for now.

Dollhouse Challenge Update 1

front of the house, needs so curb appeal
interior wallpaper needs to go, but I may keep the floors, they are in good shape, I really want to tile the entranceway!
the kitchen! LOL
little broken piece that needs to be fixed or I may see about taking down the wall and fix up the stairs
master bedroom which will be perfect for me to put in a kick ass closet!

Well my house has arrived! I'm super excited to get started right away, but I must pace myself, there is quite a bit of work that needs to be done first.
My kids were super excited to play with the house when it arrived but I politely told them to BACK OFF!

The overall bones of the house are excellent but it does need some work, there's a kitchen that's just way to small for entertaining, the wallpaper needs a fresh look and the exterior needs some curb appeal, but I feel that I'm on top of things. I've hired a contractor (me), a designer (me) and a painter (me)! So I feel that I'm ready to start with the de-construction of the house.

This house is a lot bigger than I would have thought, and although it only technically has 4 rooms, they are pretty big and there are so many other rooms that I want to incorporate that I need to figure out how to section off some rooms but still make it accessible for play, or do I???

My plans are to have a bedroom (or two) a living room/library, a dining room, kitchen, wrapping/craft room (how can I not) and a bathroom.

Wish me luck!

Happy Shopping!

New Houses

I may have bought a new house today! I know what your thinking, "WTF!$%"

You know how it is, you go into the markeplace just looking, then something catches your eye, and you feel you MUST have it, this is the one for me!
Well it was not quite like that with me, I've been searching and searching. I wanted the 10 room house, excluding bathrooms of course! My house would have a library maybe two because I love to read!, great room, dining room in which to feed 20 people or more, a walk in closet to rival Marah Carey's, a wrapping room, a man's den, a media room, a games room, a sitting room just becuase, you see where this is going. I would need a whole lot of other rooms, that I did not know about but I'm not sure how I ever lived without them.
Well it turns out that I can't afford that mansion in the sky, bummer!

For now I'm going to have to settle for my little diamond in the rough.
I'm unsure of the square footage, I have no idea how many bathrooms it has, I think that it only has 4 rooms, it needs a bit of work in the inside, who am I kidding, it needs a LOT of TLC, but I'm excited to transform it into my dream home!
BTW did I mention that this was a dollhouse!

Yes that's right, you heard me correctly, a dollhouse, and I could not be more excited!



I'm joining the movement, Emily Henderson has a fantastic idea to bring bloggers together to build a home in miniature. I've loved minitatures for a while now and have always wanted an excuse to lavish my two daughters with there very own play house and here is my chance to get them started.


2012 Desk Calendar

Well I'm not sure how I this happened, but I've finally completed my 2012 Desktop Calendar!

I've been wanting to do one for about 2 years now, and I always found that I did not have the time well I think that I was just too lazy to devote the time to create one!
When I went on vacation in July, I took it upon myself to at least start with an outline of what I wanted to create and voila, 3 months later, it's complete!

I'm very proud of my first entry into the desk calendar world, and I love it and personally can't wait to use it on my own desk.

You can get yours today in my shop!

Happy shopping as always.
