My desk is full of projects … Today’s goal is finishing this bunk bed and this toilet. Separate house projects!

The Healing Machine — this post who knows how many times I’ve tried to upload. Please ignore.

In what was no doubt another insane gesture, last weekend I purchased a dollhouse from Facebook marketplace. A clue to the size: it would not fit into my hatchback. The seller ended up having her boyfriend deliver it in his truck.

Nifty quality that made me take the leap? The hinge. The dollhouse opens so you can access the rooms easier. It also has wheels! I love things with wheels. 😉

That said, first thing I did, to make it easier to work on, I’ve started by removing the wheels and the hinge.

I’m unsure of final color… Kind of thinking I’d like to do egg carton stones and have it be blonde limestone colored.

What needs to be done:

1. Roof needs patched.

2. Outside paint. I don’t care for the pink at all. (Although Katwise’s rainbow house https://housekaboodle.com/whimsical-rainbow-house-sweaters-built/ is very appealing and tempting to try to replicate. Another home I love is that of Amy Sedaris. . .

2a. Scrape the cardboard shutters off. Remove plastic windows. Clean hinge and latch.

3. Ponder whether I’m going to apply the wallpaper and other surface coverings directly to the house or perhaps cut cardboard inserts that I can cover and replace . . .

4. Brainstorm room styles….

5. Make furnitures etc.

Yu Ping and Shan are excited to think about their new home!

Some papers I found at Gomez Art Supply… So pretty!!

The house has been going awry while I try to get my life sorted. Tonight was the first night that I felt I could sit at my desk and cut and glue. This is the result.

Last night, after sorting bucket water bucket of paper bits, I took a moment to glue this:
