I know, I’m several months behind on this one, but I just discovered Nesting Place’s31 Days of Lovely Limitations. And I am excited about it. Day 2 was about reusing dressers with missing drawers and it reminded me of our living room media cabinet. Originally, the one I really wanted for the living room cost […]

Loft progress!
My husband rocks. He finished the ladder to our loft this week and it’s awesome. It’s so easy to get frustrated with a “lack of progress” on projects. But I came across this photo today as I was documenting his work: The MLS photo of our bedroom before we bought the house. And yes, that’s […]
Dollhouse tour
Sorry, I know, it’s not first thing in the morning anymore. But in my defense, when I sat down and got ready to post this morning, I discovered a virus and some hacked accounts…so I’ve been trying to fix that all morning. On to the little house. It’s still very unfinished. There are so many […]
Dollhouse is almost ready for pictures
While I got a lot done, the house still seemed pretty bare at midnight tonight. I took pictures anyway, but they did not turn out well. So I will be editing this post first thing in the morning, hopefully with a more full house and decent pictures. For tonight, here is a picture of the […]
The dollhouse, reinvented
When the original deadline was at hand, I shoved a bunch of junk in my dollhouse because it was the right size and it made it look like a real house. Then after the deadline was extended, I wasn’t really motivated to work on it much at all, because it was ugly. So with the […]

As ready as it’s going to be today
Apparently, today wasn’t supposed to be the deadline after all? But we haven’t had an update yet from Emily, so I will go ahead and share my very unfinished house. Sorry about the bad pictures, it’s dark here and the lighting in our real house isn’t that great, so I had to use the flash. […]
Slow going
I’m about half done with the dollhouse as of this afternoon. Way back on December 1st, I ordered a toilet, fridge, oven and dartboard. Even though they were all in stock, and shipped Priority, I didn’t get them until yesterday. But still, I was so excited to get them and tore into the box. They […]
Teeny Tiny Accessories
The big stuff was starting to get frustrating, so I’m taking a break and working on fun stuff today instead. Since hubby says he already has his dream job, his Mini Me gets to be an engineer too. At least in this version of the house. Some of his desk accessories are ready. Yes, he […]
