Dollhouse Update 4 of 4 the floors

Ok almost finished, I painted some coffee stir sticks and they are going to be my baseboards.




Now here is the finished look, I still have alot to do, make beds, furniture, decorating accessories, the kitchen and bathroom. I am so much happier spending time making those projects with this new floor.
Makes it worth it. I can't believe I used that awful plastic shelf paper.






I started this hardwood flooring project using white glue, I don't know why I thought it would be better than hot glue which I use all the time... after doing about a foot of flooring I started using the hot glue because it was alot faster, and then nucklehead me, forgot to sand the main floor, I sanded the second floor but urgh...forgot this one, and the glue didn't stick to the sticks that had the glue residue on it. I'm not going to worry about it now, because I have so many other projects to work on, but I will tackle it later, by sanding it well and re-doing the stain.





For now I will have to cover it with a rug (aka a bit of fabric).








Next on my to do list is the kitchen, not sure what I'm doing yet, I need to go to thrift stores, dollar stores and garage sales to find items that inspire me...

Thank you for visiting. :)
