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.
