Dollhouse Renovation.

I'm almost done my first dollhouse and hope to begin working on this model. I'm going to have to dig around to find a picture of it in its current state. But just imagine quite a bright pink, with green window trim and doors, and a stained deck. Roof is cedar shakes and the inside will need a "refresh" as well. Not quite the look I want but it's what I have to work with. I love the model above with a more subtle hint of pink, with a darker hue, green, ivory and grey. I've kept this photo as my inspiration. We'll see how close I get! I may switch out the burgundy for light green or grey. 

Do you have any projects you're

currently working on this Summer?

Art Studio Progress.

 We have 2 spaces left in our house to sort

out. The first is the garage and although we

have a plan. we have to wait for really good

weather in order to actually empty it all out.

So for now, we're concentrating on the

other space that needs attention: our

Art Studio. This space was left not

finished for us so we could finish it

once our budget allowed. We've been

scrimping and saving to complete it,

as well as saving for our landscaping

and for finally doing the garage too.

This room will have a few zones: my

writing space, dh's writing and editing

space (both of these are in the dormers,

opposite from each other), dollhouse

restoration space, storage, island and

finally, a spot for our Bow Flex set for

working out in between all our little and

big projects that we'll be completing.

For now, we've chosen the colors, almost

figured out the flooring, dh has hung up

the new lights and we're now working on

cabinet choices for storage. See all those

boxes? Those hold all our supplies and

projects that are boxed up, waiting for

the cabinets to be installed so they can

be unpacked. I'm so excited to get to that

time so we can unpack, sort and then to

truly enjoy this bonus space. Updates soon.
