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
Home Depot Haul

I found it a little intimidating, I walked around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to find sandpaper for about 10 minutes. … Continue reading Home Depot Haul

I'm finding working on this doll house to be very therapeutic. It was relaxing to work on it especially after … Continue reading Busy Busy
Construction Day 2
Second and third floors are up! The second floor and second floor partitions were simple enough to put up. I again had the issue with the tabs fitting into slots but learning from yesterday it took me much less time to do. Sanding, cutting, fitting. Rise & repeat. The third floor was not as easy. … Continue reading Construction Day 2
She’s here!
My Willow dollhouse came today! (A day early at that, thanks to Amazon Prime). I came home from work to a LARGE box. Much larger than I anticipated. I'm not completely sure how big I really expected it to be but it was larger then I thought it would be. I've included a picture with … Continue reading She’s here!
