Hi guys.... At a tag sale last summer, I spied a carton full of dollhouse parts and thought of my new granddaughter. It was impossible to tell if all the parts were there, but the guy accepted my offer and I took it home. Well, between me and my husband (who's an engineer), it took us more than five hours to assemble the house, and I realized it had way too many small parts for a one year old. (Duh!!!). So I set it aside, up out of reach, in the basement playroom. As Christmas approached, it dawned on me that the house had mega-putz potential. I embellished the windows with Dresden trim cut-outs, blocked the windows with parchment paper and installed puck lights inside the rooms, along with a Christmas tree in the sun room/porch wing. Then it was just a question of garland, wreaths and trees outside. I stuck it in the playroom fireplace. Following instructions on you-tube, I built the bridge out of styromfoam, added some Lionel lights, Santa, an old sled; and a needle-felted reindeer I found on Etsy. So, until she's a lot older, my granddaughter will just have to wait for it!

This is wonderful! Long live trash-bashing! Parchment makes great windows by the way! I used it in my trashbashed "brownstone" viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1178 Can't wait to share this photo with my list! |
