Just a few little things

 I finished the corner gallery wall. I just used found objects like the key and made a few other things. It turned out well.

 In the kitchen I added a table runner and I made two cutting boards for the counter.

The barn door isn't actually mounted yet but I wanted to see how it will look. I love it!

It's beginning to look like home

 I added a lot of finishing touches in the lower level today. I'm not finished and I can see in the photos where I need to add some trim pieces but it looks like someone actually lives here now.

 The wooden tray was made from the extra ice box door in my last project. The candles are pencil erasers.

 I repurposed the cabinet doors I removed from the entertainment center as art.

 There are dishes on the shelves, a dessert in progress, food in the cabinet, and a rug in the kitchen.

I made a sliding barn door to separate the bedroom from the bathroom. I don't have baseboard done yet so I can't install it. It won't be functional but it looks like it could be.

This was a productive weekend in miniland. I hope you all had time to play, too!

So much done!!

 Here is the kitchen in progress. I had to make a new vent for the range hood so it would reach the ceiling.

 And this is the mostly finished kitchen. It needs all the finishing details but the trim, tile, curtains, and wall mounted shelves and such are done.

 The living room curtains resemble drop cloth curtains. I made wire finials for the rods and hanging brackets so I can change the curtains if I want.

The exterior door is about half an inch shorter than the interior door ways. I built up the top trim so it won't be obvious with the door closed. There is still plenty to do but I am happy with today's progress. Wishing you all a wonderful week!

I've been sick...

...and haven't even felt like working on my dollhouse. I am finally beginning to feel human again, lol, so I spent a bit of time making mini cotton boll and eucalyptus stems.

I found a little more time to play

 Using photo paper and a black pen I think I have a pretty good subway tile look for the kitchen. I also need a tile surround for the tub/shower combo. I haven't decided whether I want subway tile for that.

 Last week I started on the window trim. I have all the rooms cut but only got the bedroom and living room painted. I still need to cut the baseboard. I am thinking that curtains all the way to the floor will help with the super high windows. I am still thinking about how to deal with that issue. I also need to sort through my fabric to see if I have any that will work.

I'm not moving very fast but I like what I've done so far. Have a wonderful, blessing filled week!

I got a lot done!

 Please excuse the hand in some of the photos. I'm not ready to hang mirrors, cabinets, and such but I wanted to give you an idea of where they will be.

 The toilet did not have a tank when I bought it at an antique shop. The seat was black. I used a dental floss box for the tank and painted the seat. I added a flush handle and it turned out well. I painted all of the brass faucets to look like oil rubbed bronze.

The windows are my next challenge, once I finish the bedroom floor. They are all way too high to make any sense so I have to figure out a way to give the illusion of a longer window. I don't want to cut new ones because I don't like to make structural changes to vintage houses, even the homemade ones.

All of the window and door trim as well as the baseboards will be white.

Daughter #2 and family are coming for the weekend so I won't get much done while they are here. Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!

A couple of details

I know I said I would get started on the painting but I spent a little time on this snow day to add a couple of finishing details. I made this tiered tray over the weekend from a bottlecap, jewelry finding, and a push pin. I painted it today to look like galvanized metal and then filled it.

 The couch pieces aren't lined up quite right where the corner meets the left side so I made a throw blanket for where the two pieces join.

I am going to do a bit more Pinterest research and then get started on the painting. Hopefully, I will be back later with more to share.
