House #2: Guestroom
July 15, 2005
This room is in the attic, so obviously dealing with painting all the weird angels was a pain. I decided to make a texture room so I used some left-over materials for making stone (for a fireplace) and covered the walls with it.

This took several coats of paint. I used a nice sage green color to match the bed that I had (given to me by my Grandma who actually won it from a miniature store! Thanks Grandma, hehe).

A couple weeks later I got to working on the floor. I made it over a two-day span (thanks to "The Shield" for amusing me while I did this tedious job! and again to my grandparents for sending me the sticks - coffee stirrers, technically). I stained using an "oak" finish - the same as I used for the entry way and the baby room/office.

Finally I get to start decorating the room!

More items added. Description of the items: the bed, as I said, I got from my grandma. I made: the little duck on the bed (using pom-poms), the three pictures on the wall, the flowers (the 'vase' is a bead), the perfume on a mirror tray, the flip-flips, the candy (in a gold press-on), and the newspaper. The vanity I had in a box of miniatures but don't recall where I got it. The gum-ball machine in the corner I got in Florida.

More items. Description: the dresser I bought and stained to try and match the dark furniture already present. I made: the candles on a mirror (with green dried plants), the flowers in a small planter, the dog blanket, and the chair in the corner. The dog I bought at a miniature store in Florida. And the hat came with a set that I got for cheap.
