It’s no secret..Im waaaay behind on this challenge..I think Ms. Emily said the contest ends on December 15th, but I just wont be done by then…sooo, I am carrying on, enjoying little pieces at a time, and remembering those days when I was 9, 10, 11..okay lets face it..13, playing with my super special dollhouse.
So far I have:
Painted brick fireplace
Stained Mantel
Painted walls
Stained Mantel
Painted walls
Cut trim
Painted trim
Stained the Floors
Painted the casing
Bid on about 150 different furniture pieces on Ebay and lost
What I still need to do:
Paint the Ceiling
Touch up the walls
“hang” my super funky oversized number wallcovering
Style the space
Get furniture
Repair and re-stain stairs
Fix windows
Make new door
Create very tiny Roman Shades
Paint old furniture
You can kind of see the wall color here, but I refuse to make it bigger, because there is white paint on the back wall from a trim I glued up that wasn’t entirely dry…I have no patience..
Railing needing repair, but you can at least see the wall color a little better
Also, I went through all of my old “furniture” most of it hand made by me when I was 9…I think I might use a few. Also found a pretty sweet brass coat tree in my stash, and an old bubble gum machine ornament..oh, and what dollhouse doesn’t need a fake bird ahahaha!!
A loooow coffee table that I “hand crafted” at age 9 😉
The super sweet brass coat tree!
Hmmm should I do Roman shades, or just try to re-use these ? HAHA!! Ps..I had a matching dress to these drapes and so did my cabbage patch doll, Erin Adelina. I remember my mom sewing them and thinking it was so awesome that the curtains matched my dress..ahhh to be 9 again..
Im going to try to use these funky post cards from IKEA, as wall covering for the wall opposite the fireplace. I just need to buy another pack!
My wall covering and “rug” for the living room!
So that’s the latest and the greatest, I cant wait to see what everyone else is doing!!!

Love it! I got the kids a dollhouse for ava’s bday, and my mom dug up my old dollhouse furniture. A bunch made by my grandfather. He carved it. Then there is a bunch of random stuff I added. I laughed so hard I nearly cried. There is a broken ruler that, more than ANYTHING, I remember so vividly. It was everything. A table, a bench, a bridge, a walkway, a door. I SO happy it survived all these years. PS – I ADORE the denim blue walls. I so wanted to do that in my current home, but couldn’t find the right room for it. Looking good!
The super sweet brass coat tree looks great!
