It's the little things

 This roof is moving along slowly but it's going to be worth it...at least, that's what I keep telling myself, LOL.
 A new shelf in the bathroom holds various toiletries - shampoo, conditioner, baby bath, perfume, aftershave, nail polish. There's room for more but these are enough for now.
 The kitchen got dishsoap and a scrubbie.
 I made a clock and a fireplace screen. I love the screen!
The bedroom got a pretty urn full of flowers.

There's still more to do besides finishing the roof. I want to make a lamp for the master bedroom nightstand, and an alarm clock, too. The upper hall is just boring. I need to add something, just not sure what. If I find labels I like I may add them to the products I made today. As much as I like this house, I think it's still missing some personality -  it needs more to make it personal. Any ideas?

I love the fireplace screen, De! How did you make it? I came across these labels and thought you might be interested in them for your bottles. http://lisaslittlethings.com/pdf_files/perfume_labels_tutorial.pdf

Thanks, Gaye! I used a piece of the "iron" trim I used on the front of the house. I cut out the area I wanted to use for the screen, painted it black, then glued on a piece of black screen (real window screen). I dry brushed some stainless steel paint over the finished screen to give it some patina. Thanks for the label link. :-)
