Purple Overload!

 Progress is being made on the house I am giving to my great niece, Brae.

When I started to re-do the house I figured all I really needed to do was just re-paper the bedroom to something more fun - kid like, and paint the exterior purple.

While painting the exterior, I noticed the paper stone foundation was starting to peel away.
Truthfully, I could have re-glued it down. 
Eh - I will just peel it all off and use the Make It Stone paint.



House wasn't  very secure. 
Easy fix.


Bedroom in progress of make-over




I used scrapbook paper for wallpaper - which tears easily when you try to apply it. To prevent that from happening I put a coat of Mod Podge on it.



The papers did not match exactly, so the seam is visible. 




Almost finished.
Just need to finish papering the half wall.


Bathroom before


I removed the bathroom set. Brae would probably want to rearrange the pieces.
I am hoping to match paint to the paper where the wallpaper pulled off.




Kitchen before



Why do I only have the precut trim pieces for the right side?


Living room before





I like using towels for carpet. The flat part of the towel makes a great stair runner.





All that work on the runner and you can't even see it!


Once I add the last pieces of trim, spray the roof and foundation the house will be good to go.

Next week my mom and I are heading down to VA to pick up my daughter. 
Do you know what/who is on the way back?
Lori and her girls from Happily Ever After!

I am going to have to force myself to make a visit.

  3. Hi, Audra - I'm loving the purple house! That's my favorite color as well, including all variations from amethyst to eggplant. What fun your great niece will have with this house.
