Real Houseworks

I set up a table outside this morning with my real saw horses. I actually removed a door from its hinges to make the table. Don't tell my landlady!

I'm priming some of the pieces of the garage. These are just the walls and windows.



I'm using a spray primer for the windows. The walls are painted with a brush.


While these pieces are drying, I thought I would run in and do a quick post. I need to go back out and sand everything again.

I found a can of red paint for the exterior in my storage room. :D I had used it to paint the front door of the house I used to live in. Now I don't even have to go to the store today!

Better get back to work. Hope you have a good day!

Patience

It's a good thing that Grandpa is a very patient person. Today he is enduring yet another fitting. We have a lot of priming and painting to do this weekend so I'm trying to make him some painter's overalls.


I'm sure that he is happy that I'm going to work now. I don't know how much more of this his little arms and legs can take?



Hope you have a good day!

Dollhouse Renovation - Day Three

Before

I'm trying to make my dollhouse look more like a beach house than a two story colonial. I think color will be the key!

I primed over the dark blue doors and shutters. Then I put the first coat of paint on the house.



I'm not really happy with the aluminum spray paint I used on the roof, but that's another story...

I got sidetracked with the deck floor. It's plywood, so I scored it to look like deck boards. I'm planning to try to age it to look like weathered wood. Another project!



What do you think of the color?! I love it! Looks more "beachy" to me than before!

It's the same paint I used for my kitchen.



Of course my kitchen does NOT look like this now! There is "evidence of creativity" everywhere! I can't even find a place to put my coffee cup down!

Now I need to find "just the right blue" for the downstairs porch floor and "just the right pink" for the shutters! I'm till trying to decide on a color for the window boxes. Might just leave them white?

For now, I'm off the put the second coat of paint on and trying not to get distracted with something else! Like this little tassel I got at the dollar store!

I love the little bead at the top! The chains, wooden beads, glass beads and white ones...
Oh, the possibilities! It doesn't take much to take me away from what I need to do!

Hope you have a beautiful Sunday! If you are near the beach, please build a sandcastle for me!

Blessings, Kathi
