The Big Reveal: A 2014 Undersized Urbanite Update

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!!
