Spraypainting Oops!

The title refers to one of my favorite children's books:  Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton.  The turkey keeps putting all his clothes on the wrong way (socks on his hands. . . etc).  My kids love it and it so fun to read with them!  (I also highly recommend her Hippos Go Berserk.) 

 But back to my dollhouse oops .. .

Since I had to do some painting in the bathroom, I started spray painting the bedroom doors as well.  I taped up the "glass" and started spray painting, but when I removed the tape, it had seeped in - oops! (Actually, my first mistake was that I glued the wall in place because I think you could take the glass out via the bottom, but I had already glued it into place of course.)


But it looks a lot better now that I have cleaned it with Goo Gone.  Phew!!


And then because I have to stay away from eBay after my Chicago shopping trip, I started making some of my kits.  I bought this Tom Walden Miniature Floating Shelf kit when it was advertised in one of the NAME Gazette issues after a NAME function, but he had some for sale at the Tom Bishop show  (which is what put it back on the top of my "To Do" list.)



I made it in 2 nights so I am quite happy with it!

And of course, I  had to play with my bathroom and set it up to see what  it looked like with the tile shower wall safely installed.  This may be why I am not making fast progress :)


The double sink unit is from PRD Miniatures.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Hi! The story sounds interesting, I wonder if the stores have it here in Finland.
    The House you are making looks gorgeous and the bathroom is wonderful: Cool and beautiful!

    1. Hi Kikka, Thank you! I'd be happy to mail you an English copy if you can't find it. I love your dollhouse - it is very inspiring!

  2. Ah, playing is the thief of time ;0P It's nice to arrange and rearrange though isn't it. If only you could do that in real life before the plumbing is set into the walls/floor. I like the style and colours you've chosen =0)

    1. Thank you! Yes, I never quite want to admit how long I may have spent playing and re-arranging furniture (and trying to find things I bought that would be perfect for the room) :). It would be very handy to be able to do it in real life!
