Pimping out my crib! Part 2 of my dollhouse renovations

On November 4, since last time, I did this:

I got a strong start on the bathroom, first placing linoleum from  Home depot (one square= 1.69) white to brighten up the shadowy interior of the doll house. 

 I started cutting the paint samples from home depot (they were free) as “painting” the walls. 

 also made one wall white,

wall two china blue and

 wall 3 a combination of both colors. 

I had ordered a “pop out” kit from E-bay for the bathroom furniture for 7 bucks.  It consisted of very thin wood “pop outs” that have tabs and holes, but I ended up having to hot glue them a tad anyway.

  When they were together,  I used an old small jar of gloss white paint that Doug had in the garage and painted the bathtub and toilet white.  

 I am a very clumsy model maker (even taking my time)  , so my attempts at the tub and toilet were marginal at best.

  the kit also came with a dressing table and sink that I elected to put in the kitchen. (you’ll see why later, I may change my mind)       Anyway, I finally removed the towel bar, and used the towel for a bath mat, 

 

 and toilet paper handles from where the original owner had them in the attic of all places! 

 who wants to go to the bathroom in the attic?  lol.

  So, far from done, but here is a “mostly” done,  without the window dressings  in the bathroom.  The mini- jar of “bath salts”  Is actually a tiny bottle of cut amethyst I got from the science center in Florida years ago. 

 stop back by once in a while,  for more “pimping out my new crib” at the link at the top of the page. 




I am NOT addicted to blogging!
