Apartment Daisy - RE-DECORATED - WITH A BATHROOM

Hello Everyone!

Seems like it has been forever since

I last blogged. I sure do hope that

this Giveaway ends soon because I

have more things to get rid of!

First I would like to say to all of

the new followers.

Thank you for visiting me and

WELCOME TO ALL!

Also those that have not signed

up for the giveaway - SHOULD DO

SO!

And I also wanted to say:

HOW SUPRISED I WAS THAT

DOLLHOUSE WORLD

NOVEMBER 2012 , ISSUE 242

PUBLISHED MY APARTMENTS

AGAIN!!

I WAS SPEECHLESS AND SO

PROUD TO BE HONORED TO
BE SEEN IN THEIR MAGAZINE!!!

THANK YOU DOLLHOUSE WORLD.

Also I would like to say that I

can not find some of your blogs!

So please if I have not became your

follower yet - please leave a comment

so I can find you!

I have been so so busy! Please forgive

me for not visiting a lot of your

blogs. So sorry. I have been trying to

organize my sewing room...again!

Also I have been working on the

Van Buren Dollhouse as well as

Re-decorating ALL of the apartments

with WALLS, BATHROOMS and KITCHENS! 

As I get each apartment neared to completion

I will show them to you. 

Daisy's re-decorating was started first.
It

is finished, just lacks a few things.
Surprise! I did add some curtains!!

I did not want anything that was stuffy
to be in this apartment. 

This one bedroom apartment has a light

feel to it and I wanted to keep it that way.
After

all only Daisy lives here. And yes I have changed

Daisy again.
And no doubt I will change her

several more times until I am satisfied with her.

 I decided to start with the bedroom. I stole the

linen from Permelia's witch apartment.
It looked

better here with a quilt instead of with the witch.

The quilt I sewed together over 15

years ago.
Am still surprised that it has not

yellowed any.
Her vanity has a chair now instead

of a wicker wire stool.
And now there is a

mirror hanging above found from a cosmetic pack.
I want to decorate the

mirror but I am not quite sure how I want to

approach that.

 These curtains and the matching bedding were made

from my unused dinner napkins.
The curtains are

simple. NO HEMMING and NO SEWING.

All I did was cut tiny plastic
KNITTING NEEDLES

the size of the INSIDE of the window.
Most of these

knitting needles that I will now call rods stuck great

with tacky wax.

Anyway I cut each curtain panel a little longer

than the window from the napkin that had the hem.

I then frayed the edges to give it a fringe and just

draped it over the

curtain rod. So I can pull the
curtain panels up or

down by just pulling the fringed valance or the

bottom hem. I also used fray check
on the sides of

each panel so they would not fray.
Will look better for years to come
than using glue.

Fray check lasts a long time.

I do like how the light outside the windows give

a evening type of feel to the bedroom.

 Here is the curtains from the outside windows.

My pics are hard to take because so much light is

coming thru my bedroom windows.

 Here is the entire bedroom.

 The wall behind the bed is only a little higher

than the bed. I still like open-ness in the apartment

so I tried to keep that feel. The closet is not yet

completely stocked.

 This is a better view of Daisy's bed. Much more 
coordinated.

 The other side of the bedroom is Daisy's

living area. Still using her black petit point
rugs!

 The furniture was just moved aside to show the

area.  Just a few things on her mantel. 
Ooo there is her leather checkbook!
A little yellow plastic doll and a picture frame.

There will be no curtain here at this window.
I like it bare. Here is the

pink dress that I made that poor Daisy can not

wear!

 Here is Daisy with her new dress. Sorry that she

is not paying any attention to you! She has her

mind on something else.
I will take better pics of her later to show you.

Daisy got lonely and thought she

needed a companion. You might remember that

this cute little Bishon puppy was a gift from my

friend Catherine. Daisy named him Ami.

Ami is french for friend. Isn't he so cute!!
I named him that because my daughter named
her Bishon Ami and this is to represent him.

 Sweet Daisy has a new kitchen!
It fit so well in this space. She has cabinets

now. And there is still room to put more. Daisy did

not want to tell you but she does not enjoy messing

up her clean kitchen. So mostly she eats out!!
My grand daughter Elise spray painted this plastic
kitchen set for me. It came from a Barbie house.

I forgot where I acquired the pink framed
mirror at.

Its frame is plastic. It fit so good in this spot that

I hate to move it. Believe I will keep it forever.

I made the little circular dining table
from a toilet paper tube. I did not want

the table top to be too small so I used an orange

juice lid to make it bigger.
Then I covered it with pretty pink fabrics.
It will hold a few plates

and silverware on it. I want to make napkins and

maybe re-do those chairs or slipcover them.
But I

almost hate to because the red goes well in the

apartment.
Yet, the chairs are a little dark. Will change them
later.

 Here are the curtains behind the table and chairs.

The concept is the same as the bedroom cutains.

The only thing different is I have
added lace to both

edges of the panels.
These curtains will also slide

up or down on the rod.
The curtains match the tablecloth.

 For the kitchen window I wanted to make a

little type of greenhouse.
I have contemplated,

but can not make up my mind, if I want to keep

it like this, or pop out that window, and
make a

greenhouse on the outside of the window.

However I am not good at building so this little

fantasy might not materialize.
It might have

to stay like this. The metal doggy dish came from eBay.
Am glad that it is off of the floor so that
spider or bugs can not crawl

into his food or water bowls.

 This is the outside of the kitchen window.
Had to take a pic that was dark so you could
see the pots!

 This part is my fave!! Out of all of the tubs

I owned, this one looked the best. 
I want to put

some plants hanging down from the top of the window.

As of yet I do not know, what style of curtain,

that I will put here.
I pulled the kitchen out so

you could see the bathroom better. I wanted you

to see the bottom of the curtain.
The bathroom will be hard to see once the kitchen
is put back against the sink.
There is no wall here to divide the 
kitchen from the bath room.

This pic shows you the top of the curtain. It is

held in place to the ceiling with just

tacky wax. The canopy is a type of cheese-cloth

bag that I cut the bottom off.  I debated about

putting a door or a curtain.
But it is not needed. Daisy does not get much company.
Whichever I do

you will not be able to see in the bathroom

so for now I will just keep thinking about it.

 I keep turning the toilet to the wall

and then back again. Maybe I should

put a curtain here so that no one

peeks!
NAH!!

 The mirror hangs on the back of the

kitchen with tacky wax. I wonder if
Daisy knows that he razor is
in the sink? Sorry for the blur.

 This is the top part of the canopy on the

ceiling. That bag drapes so nicely! The

tub and canopy were made for this space.

 Yes, the tub has plastic draped over it for a reason.

Instead of bubbles, I just wanted the inside to

look like Daisy was filling the tub up with her

favorite bath salts called Green Apple.

Boy, it smells up the entire apartment with the

aroma of apples!!

I did not want the green stuff to dissolve away,

but I am sure that in a few months it will.
I enjoy looking at it!

 The little cubby between the sink and the

toilet is so cute.  Almost a secretive place.

I hope you liked Daisy's newly decorated

apartment.

Thank you for visiting me.

Please come again!

Many hugs and kisses to you all!
