done-up dolls house - time to play!

The dolls house that came from a friends loft was cleaned and white-washed, then collaged creatively with all kinds of embossed and coloured papers ... then sealed with my favourite ronseal water based varnish....

Some of the colours are really strong, but these look great with the plain wooden things that I managed to pick up locally for Christmas!

My girls had fun choosing how to set up the house, and I think they did a great job ...

So does this lucky resident! I love making my home nice too, do you?

OOPS!

yesterday I forgot to blog, but today ... today mummy made pancakes!

Pancakes eagerly awaited, pancakes with amazing shapes! How I love a good non-stick pan!

And my excuse? too much on my plate yesterday, but i did manage a bit of whitewash!

and who's in the bedroom? A jumping, yapping puppy in need of repairs! as well as stripped for a re-vamp!

Des-Res? Another Doll's House ...

once in a while it's fun to get your hands on a Do-er Upper!



first things, first - that leaky roof, I think!



and probably replacement windows and doors ... ooh, I am going to have fun with this! but those local double glazing salesmen won't get my call ...



Not sure that the Cock and Horse in the Bedroom will stay ...



Hospice, or Wet-House? Apply for change of use?


This house came from my friend's loft, and the playmobil people have already moved in!

des res ....

a dolls house from our local freecycle network, which i was lucky enough to 'win' ...
a bit stained, and smelling a bit musty, the girls helped pull off some roof printed paper and some stickers, and i gave it a good wash ready for painting.
it needs some fun furnature, preferable handmade, and a family to live there...
but who?
any ideas?
