A New Year, A New Dollhouse.

It's been a while since I last made a blog post and also a while since I've done any dollhouse work. I've been thinking for a while what I would like my next build to be, a long while clearly. I finally decided on the Arthur dollhouse. Its much smaller than my first build so … Continue reading A New Year, A New Dollhouse. →

Redo on the Bedroom

So I decided to take out the tile from the bedroom. Here's how it looked before: I found a beautiful grey wood tile at Home Depot that I thought would be perfect. And ultimately was. It was darker than the original but also had the wood grain look that I found more ascetically pleasing that … Continue reading Redo on the Bedroom →

Bathrooooom

I purchased a tile from Lowes for the bathroom which I cut to fit into the room. It wasn't long enough which meant some finagling. Well, I did this and I ended up not liking it and decided to ultimately remove it and start over. Seeming to become a theme as I continue to go … Continue reading Bathrooooom →

Flooring Prep #2 (Hallway & Living Room)

For the Living Room and Hallway flooring I'm using the tile that looks the most like real wood. Like the last prep I used a box cutter to make cuts in the vinyl tile and broke them to create planks. I've found the box cutter to be much better at cutting the vinyl tile than … Continue reading Flooring Prep #2 (Hallway & Living Room) →

Uncertainty ?

I halfway finished the tile in the bedroom. And I'm not in love with it. I left it over night and revisited it and I still don't like it. I feel like to like it I will need to add grout, but I don't think I want to do all of that work to possibly … Continue reading Uncertainty ? →

Flooring Prep

I'm going to start laying the tile however I already know I'm going to need to revisit Lowes for another long tile. I started with the one long … Continue reading Flooring Prep →

Wallpaper #2

After wallpapering the hallway I tackled the kitchen. I'm glad I did the hallway first as the kitchen was bigger and needed more maneuvering with the paper. The pretty pineapple wallpaper I chose for the accent wall in the kitchen was JUST shy of fitting the entire wall. Which meant adding some of the wallpaper … Continue reading Wallpaper #2 →

Wallpapering

First attempt at wallpaper was the second floor hallway. I wanted to at least try it before attempting the kitchen which is a bigger more important space. I used scrapbook paper for the wallpaper, it was relatively thick card stock which made it easy to work with. Measuring out the room was a little difficult … Continue reading Wallpapering →

Lowes Run!

Another run to a home improvement store. This time with flooring in mind! I'm not exactly at the flooring stage yet in the house but I'm getting ahead of myself with the planning of the house. For LESS than $5 I was able to nab tiles that I think will be perfect. I wanted to … Continue reading Lowes Run! →

A Mistake and An Injury

I finished the staircase! Which was easy enough and very satisfying to see once finished. I think this was the most fun part to construct thus far. (More pics on my Instagram @miniaturemoments__) On the right side of the staircase is where the bannister goes. And that's where the mistake comes in. After a 12 … Continue reading A Mistake and An Injury →
