Updates again...Finally finished!

April 2011 update

I finished the front sidewalk.  I used floor samples from Home Depot - slate  look.  I cut them down into stone shapes and then filled with sand.

Want to sit and have a lemonade??



Me and the Hubby made the garden table out of bamboo skewers and popsicle sticks. 

Make sure you feed the fish : )

Now up to the attic gameroom to sit at the pub table and play a game of 500 rummy!!

Yes.... I even made the cards! They are so hard to handle...you have to use tweezers!   

Update 1/15/2011

I finished the gameroom area with wallpaper and carpet.  The pool table and bar look great and just waiting on a pub table so a game a cards can be held! 

The Shingles are done and stained.  They turned out great!  The grass is down and in the process of working on the landscaping. 

My son's girlfriend, Jess, made flowers for the hanging baskets.  They turned out great and look so cute on the porch. 

The Bar is stocked and ready for a party.  Would you like some cheese and crackers with your wine??

The Night is beautiful with all the lights on!

Stay tuned for the finished house!!!  Coming soon....I HOPE

Updated 10/2010

Playroom -  I have Raggety Ann and Andy border.  Pink carpeting is actual fabric from Walmart.

Blue bedroom with curtains. 

The porch is on finally!!!  I finshed the outside with brink pattern printed onto phot paper and it turned out pretty nice.  I have to finish staining the shingles and it will be complete. 

Just one more room to go!  The attic room is going to have a bar and pool table.  What a fun project!!!

Bottles for the Bar

I had to show you this one.  Anyone who knows me , knows that this is my drink of choice....Not anymore mind you...but still.  We plan on making the attic area a gameroom with bar, pool table...and who knows what else.  I just got a head start with the booze!

I search google images for bottle labels and then sized them appropriately to the bottle I purchased.  This can easily be done on MS Publisher.

Doors

These are the front doors.  Not installed yet but ready to go.  I used the transparancies again here  and printed on my own printer.  You can save a ton of money by using your imagination.

These are the dining room bay doors.  I have to say that these turned out fantastic.  I wish I could afford a set like these at my real house : )

Hallway and Almost finished 2nd Bedroom

The windows I did with the inkjet transparencies and copy and pasted a pattern I liked.  The floor is sample flooring found at Lowes (freebees).  We found a nice wood patterned wallpaper and I copy and pasted and printed on photo paper.  The rest is just acrylic paints. 

I went with a underwater theme in this room and used tropical fish border.  The carpet is a very light blue and I plan on making curtains for the windows.  Check back later to see the updates....

Bathroom Finished

The bathroom has white tiled floor sheet.  The wallpaper is photo paper and the curtains were made from fabric trim.  I even stocked the cabinet with fresh towels.
