I'm a Giant Challenge-Doll House-do-up #6

Hello. I don't have a whole lot new to show you since last week so I'll just update you on each room, and tell you of more, grand-if-small,  plans.

For the 'kids' bedroom

Think red and white, scandi-style.

Think Breakfast at Tiffanys style bed if I can get the blokes at the local car repair place to weld together the bits my husband broke off and can't solder back together (husband is sacked, again!).

Think white yoyo quilt, and oodles of pom poms, in some guise.

Think

Aarnio ball chair

For here it is in its nearly completed prototype glory.

Ok, in it's slightly wonky, dribbly painted mess-ness!

Tennis ball, too small and not turn insideoutable. Ball pool ball, too squidgy. But two ball pool balls, one inside the other, not bad. (Until I find a ball of the same dimensions but more rigid which doesn't have 'Made in China' embossed on it's side anyway.) Hmmm. Lightly sanded the spray paint sticks, but scrapes off again fairly easily, so overall it's not going to be much cop for a vigorous child unless a few coats of sealer help, and I don't think it will so... I'm either gonna make a red one sans paint job, with a white felt interior; or

I'm going to make a fur ball chair (ha!) with some left over white rabbit fur!

                                                               In other doll house news...

The grown-ups bedroom is not so grown-up now.

Look what happened! The grass grew.

The bed and the drawer handles went all flintstones.

Whatever next?! (No, I don't know either)

Hub of the house and hive of activity, la kitchen.

Plans afoot include making my own 'tulip' table from a cork coaster and goodness knows what else,

to match the two tulip seats I ordered from etraders :0))))))

Also making:-

 A clock from a doll house plate and a thrifted book of clock faces.

A kitchen bench and shelves from a combo of a piece of thin steel the picture frame magnets were attached to, and some free samples of wood finishes from the hardware store.

A feature wall of pictures and other decorative guff.

The hall.

Have sanded the door and miraculously the wood is the same colour as my stained floor boards.

I may or may not do more with it.

The grey is still not dark enough but I'm over it. One more coat, then a sand to get the shine off and I'll be sticking up the coat rack, art and sealing the floor and the kit set pew and sticking the blue washi paper on the ceiling, calling it quits and moving along to the next room. Hopefully this century.

The mid-century dining room-cum dusty victorian library.

Very early stages.

Will be making my own sofa, book shelves and a cool bendy floor lamp from half of that wooden bead and some piping from a model aeroplane kit set.

Also have vague plans to rustle up some mini taxidermy from some of clauds tiny animal figures and some feathers from the blokes fly tie-ing kit

(this doll house may look cack, but it won't be for lack of ambition!)

Bathroom.

Who knows really.

Maybe I'll just knock together a kiwi 'long-drop' with a few lolly sticks and a hole in the floor!

Tho I did find a little plastic bowl I may use as a 'modern' sink.

If you've not had enough of this doll house lark, have a look here at what the other

I'm a Giant challengers are up too.

Also serving as my creative space this week as the other projects I'm working on are top secret Christmas swap decorations...
