heidiiiii Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I am going to start working on the wood floors for the interior today. I have the bedroom one all glued. Now I have to trim, sand, and decide on what color I want it to be. I like the way the roof color turned out. It looks weathered now that it is completely dry.

heidiiiii Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I had no clue what I was going to do with the kitchen floor. Then I found these glass mosaic tiles at the craft store. They are not glued down yet. I think it is in keeping with the boldness of the graphic on the wall. Kitchen Floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am almost finished with the kitchen. I need to put up a few more trim pieces but I wanted to share. Kitchen. After that, I will finish the floor in the bedroom, add the trim pieces, stage it with the Deb Bed and then onto the next room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Someone asked to make sure I get of picture of Ruby getting the house. I cannot guarantee that.

havanaholly Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 You're putting a Deb bed in a dh for an 8-year-old? Honey, you'd better get pictures! You'd better be named primary beneficiary in that family's Wills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yes, Deb made a bed for me. It is a nice simple but elegant one.. Deb Bed! I let her have artistic license with the colors and it really does make a huge difference in the scheme of the room. I have a couple odds and ends that I will add. I am not adding lots of minis to this house. Just some basic pieces so that she has something to play with. I will let them know the importance of the Deb Bed. I will also include a catalog to HBS so they can purchase things for it themselves. Holly, she is going to be turning 5 yrs old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wonder where I got the 8 year old from? FIVE!??? Hoo, boy, hopefully she is basically a careful child and they will supervise her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 The kitchen is completed. I also posted pics of the bathroom. I am painting the trim for it as we speak. I want to get some more white mosaic tiles for one wall of the bathroom for the bathtub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 The bedroom is finished. Picture of it and Deb Bed. I have to pick up some poly today so that I can do the floor in there and in the bathroom. I did the floor in the livingroom and I am going to work on the trim today. Chris is coming on Monday so I want to get it finished. I found some white polyester fabric that is crinkly like silk. I think I will use it for the curtains in a couple of the rooms.

Deb Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 You're putting a Deb bed in a dh for an 8-year-old? Honey, you'd better get pictures! You'd better be named primary beneficiary in that family's Wills! <grinning> It's a Deb Bed made for a kid to play with. It's not a complicated design and everything is glued down well enough for little hands to hold it. Heidi got the brass bed frame and she made an excellent choice of a sturdy frame. Heidi, the whole house looks great! Ruby is going to absolutely love it!! You've done such a good job on it. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidiiiii Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 OMG! Chris is coming today at 2pm! Not tomorrow! I guess I am not making curtains. I have the trim painted for the living room. I have to glue those. I have to pack all the stuff, type up a note for the grandparents, remember to pack the mini catalog, and paint and glue down the trim for the edges of the house. Then I have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to check every area to see if it is okay. I will get started here after my coffee. *blurring eyed* If I get all that done by noon I will put together a nice wreath to attach. Do not worry. I will take the final pictures! Rush Rush Rush!

Anna Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ohhh, no fun in having to rush but I know you will get the things done, just decide on where to start, ie what takes most time, is there something that needs drying etc etc, you can do it, >handing you a nice cup off :groucho: < Oh and please do take a few pics when done :thumb: HUGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Anna, I could float away on the amount of coffee I downed this morning. Ugh! It is 10am already. I glued down the trim. I painted some of the outside trim and that area where I am going to put the word phrase. *waiting for those to dry* Then I will add another coat. Glue down the outside trim and put the phrase down..*There`s no place like home*. I want to make the wreath! Ugh! I will do that after all the other things are done. I am going to put down Post-it notes on each room floor so they know which one is which. Then I will pack the things I am sending in baggies that say which room they go in. I have a big enough box to put all of these things in. Taking a mini break while the glue dries..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 A hairdryer works perfectly in speeding up the drying process :groucho: .... I know, I know, I can be a bit impatient at times... Sounds like you have the situation under controll Heidi, I like the sound of post it notes and bags for each room. Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidiiiii Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 All the goodies are packed. I took a pic of the living room. I want to take a pic of the finished interior before I am done. *waiting for glue to dry* and then I will put the saying on. It is almost noon. 2 more hours to go! I think I have enough time to make the wreath!!! Pics will follow later. They may not be today though. I am leaving at 3pm to go to bingo and wont be back until the evening.
