The bedroom is essentially finished. I added artwork and a few personal items and I am so pleased with the results. The curtains here, as in the lower level, are the ones that came with the house. I used dowel curtain rods here, though, as there weren't enough intact panels to cross them as they originally did.
I looked at countless linoleum ads from the 20s and 30s before deciding on the art for the bedroom.
Louise's hair brush used to be a My Little Pony brush. I cut off the bristles, gave it a coat of gold paint, and added Velcro bristles.
The dining area got a framed print and some silverware. I want to add more to the hutch shelves as well as the kitchen shelves. The sitting area needs a fireplace. That will mostly finish the interior. I need to paint the exterior trim dark green and shingle the roof. I don't think I will do much more than that as I want to keep the simple charm from the original builder.
I think I like the slower pace of my projects now. When I was younger I would power through a project with lots of late nights. The slower pace leads to fewer changes of plan. Whether fast or slow, mini projects are the best therapy I know!
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Such an awesome idea with the brush! It looks awesome.
The house is looking so homey now with all the little details! The curtains really do look nice and add the finishing touch!
A fireplace sounds like fun, and I am so envious of all those canned sweet potatoes! It's a lot of hard work, but such a nice thing for your family to enjoy!
Thank you, Giac!
Thank you, Brandy!
Thank you, Jodi!
