I did it!!! By the hair on my chinny chin chin, but I DID IT!!!!!
Here is the completed house!
I can't get over the porch. I love the brick posts. I had gone for a jog in a close neighborhood and saw a house that looked very much like this and it was love at first sight. ♥
The wreath on the door was made last minute from some moss and dried flowers. The welcome mat was purchased in a lot on ebay sometime ago.
Gnomes!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ So hard to paint!! I need to get a really fine detail brush, and then I will put faces on the little dudes.
I love having these two resin dolls. They are perfect for checking scale of items. And are great for weighing down cushions that I'm not sure I want to keep there... HAHA!
The completed interior:
Starting with the hallway. I swear I had straightened this picture out.... musta forgot to save it.
The mirror is made out of 1" square mirrors from the craft store, and trimmed out with wood I had left over from last years Spring Fling. The hall table is made out of an eight light window, some porch trim and wood scraps. I saw something similar in a design magazine and LOVED it.
The tall sticks in the pink vase are a gift from Jane. I made the yellow ones in the orange pot. The blue pot was purchased from Brae Oktober for my Spring Fling. The newspaper was a gift from Jazzi. The laser cut chandelier is from Michaels.
I love this little chair and the packages sitting on it. Perfect spot for a mail dump. :)
The Man Cave!
Since the last time I wrote about this room, I added some trash and some post it notes, that I cut from actual post it paper.
The Master Bedroom:
The art work was hand painted and the print on the right is just a bit of scrap book paper glued to mat board. The pillows are a mixture of made and purchased. The black pillows in the back are actually play scale, but are perfect for European pillows in 1:12!
Love this bed! The suit jacket is a Jolee's scrapbook sticker.
I painted the dress art on the wall and then put two sunflowers in a jewelry finding, which looks great as a metal wall vase.
A mouthwash cap filled with fabric passes as a hamper full of dirty clothes.
This kitty was a birthday gift from Brae last year. The rug was made using the same method that she uses- printing on fabric with an ink jet printer.
The Tween Room:
This room is so fun and full of so many fun, fun things!!
The Attic Craft Room:
This room has a lot of handmade stuff in it. Good craft stuff is hard to find, and when you do find it, it can be costly. I don't have time for that! Some of my miniature water color paintings are in the corner along with some rolled up canvas and paper.
A work table holds a box of paints, some scrapbook paper, a pen (LOVE IT!) and a clipboard. Seems like some planning might be going on....
A chest is overflowing with fabric and sewing patterns!
This shelf is made from the top portion of the Michaels hutch used to make the tv shelf in the man cave. I found all the art supply printies at Jim's Printables. There was a bit of tedium in cutting up paper and fabric and gluing printies together, but that time spent is what makes the scene! The pencil sharpener, which I adore, is also from a lot I purchased on ebay.
A painting in progress.... I would love to add some fine art supplies to this table.
A dollhouse is being worked on!! You can't see it until it's finished. Shhhhh! Also, a paper rack!
What?!?! That picture folds down into another work table? Pinterest is so awesome.
And the room that everyone has been waiting for, I'm sure....
The Kitchen: Finished, in all its glory. With burnt out lights. HA! I will fix those in the future, but there was certainly no time for it today. :/
Soapy dishes, waiting to be washed. Coffee brewing. Magnets on the fridge. The magnets are painted alphabet noodles. Woot!!! Thanks for the inspiration, April!
I found a thimble that was missing the important part-sad fingers!-and turned it into a fun light cover. The clock on the wall is made out of a button!
There was a GIANT lot of kitchen goodies on etsy in a totally random shop. I bought it of course, and most of the goodies in here, came from there- Ivory soap, yellow canisters, sponge, bottle brush.... The drawer pulls on the cabinets are staples and the knobs are beads and headpins that I painted silver.
I love the combination of grey and white. Such a calming kitchen, and bright and airy.
Tiny tin foil!!!
I left the glass off the cabinets since I made them non-opening. Want to be able to get my accessories out if need be!
Probably my favorite corner of the kitchen. I love the pot rack over the stove (I intend to add a spice shelf directly under it at some point). The tiny Kitchenaid SLAYS me. Love it. It came in a funky creme color, so I painted it Apple Tart.
I hope you enjoyed the tour the my Undersized Urbanite entry! I can't believe all this time has gone by already! Though, it will be nice to take a break and work on something a little slower for a bit. Remember to go to the
Undersized Urbanite website and check out the other entries-they are fabulous!!
