Apartment John Donovan or J.D. - Furniture in Apartment

John Donovan does not have much

furniture.

In his apartment, there are
2 of these bookcases.

 

 

A brown leather book that I made.

 

The book  opens so that

you can put something in it. 

 

This resin chair looks good in J.D.s apartment.

 



 

Chair is made by Raine.



 

 

Another Raine resin chair.

 

 

J.D.s wooden trunk covered in leather.

 

The trunk opens.



 

J.D. bought this trunk at an antique store.

He does not mind the pink, since it is old.



Oooo a secret compartment!

 

The pink flowers is pretty.

 

This is the bed that I used in his

apartment.

I have 2 of these.

But I have lost the

bedding throughout the years.

J.D. loves furniture like this.

 

J.D. loves this long coffee table.

I do not remember where I got this piece.

 



I love this pencil sharpener.

It is so ornate!

J.D. loves his old-fashioned typewriter!

 

I made these satchel bags back in 1995.



 

 

A chair in J.D.s study.

I covered the chair in a mans tie

that I bought back in 1995.

 

 

Another chair in J.D.s study.

This chair is also covered in a

mans tie.

 

J.D.s fireplace in the living area.

 

J.D.s grandfather clock.

 

A photo of J.D.s ancestor.

J.D.s briefcase and his man bag.

The briefcase is a brass metal.

I made the man bag.

I have had these 2 items since the early 90s.

Do not know where I got the brass metal briefcase from.

 

The briefcase opens up.

A little mirror used to be here.

I did not think that a briefcase

needed a mirror, so I removed it.

I do need to fix this for J.D.

 

 

Inside J.D.s man bag.

I glued on a mirror.

 

It is so old that the glue is starting to

yellow and look yucky.

That is a good thing.

 

This is the desk that I had the 90s.

I never liked this color.

I painted it brown.

 

All 3 of these fabrics were silk men's ties.

Am not sure how old these men's ties were

before I bought them and cut them up.

 

The inside fabric looked good on the backside

of the burgundy print.

 

I tried to co-ordinate all 3 fabrics.

 

The burgundy silk is used like a blanket.

I had to sew 2 sides together to get enough

fabric to make a blanket.

 

But when you turn it over, the seam is hidden.

Thank you for stopping by!

CLOTHES - Pink dress With Jacket And Purse And With A Matching Bed Cover

Found a small lovely blouse just big enough to make

these items out of it.

I glued the items together - first time for everything

right!

Well, yes I figured out really quick that I do not like

glue on clothes!

And I will never do that again, unless it is gluing

on straps.

 

Glue makes the clothes stiff.

 

I did sew the sides of the bed cover.

So, I am happy with this.

There was not even enough of the blouse to make

bed pillows with.

 

It is a sweet set!

 Thanks for stopping by!

Apartment John Donovan or J.D. - Wallpapered and Floored

John Donovan is a writer.

He writes for a  newspaper and is

writing an article about the

French Quarter.

No telling how long he will live

here as he travels far and wide

sometimes.

Lives for his work.

John Donovan is the first tenant

in this apartment.

He likes the open layout. 

But certainly it lacks some amenities.

For instance: a bathroom.

The apartment has been wallpapered with

scrapbook paper.

The chocolate brown is construction paper.

The brick look floors is cloth.

Entrance into the apartment is thru one of these

French doors. 

Well, J.D. asked the landlady to remove the door

knobs so that he could use this space without

the fear of anyone opening his door onto

his table - or whatever was there.

She obliged and took them off.

The door is now permanently locked

until he moves out.

Also work needs to be done with molding

in between them.

 The little sink area and ice box used to be white.

I painted them a grey.

The picture makes them look blue to me.

Kitchen, dining area, seating area are on facing the 

French doors.

What a nice fireplace!

The tall brown rectangle against the wall is where

a mock foyer is for the outside door

that takes you up to the different floors.

No stairs - you must pretend that it is 

just an elevator on the other

side of that wall.

The area is not that bad really.

It is just enough space for a single person.

This area shows where the other door was

being fitted to go in that space.

The tall brown box shape is merely cardboard

painted brown.

It hides the main door that leads up to

the other floors.

The other side shows bedroom area and

whatever area you want it to be.

Here 3 windows are in.

Another needs to be fixed

and then these are finished.

This shows only 2 windows are in.

Almost done.

Thank you for stopping by.

Apartment Samantha - Changing things around again!

Here I go again,

did-satisfied with the way

that the apartment was looking!

Changing things around again!!

 

Moving in anywhere can be

a stressful time.

Samantha does not even have

room for a tree, so she looked

through this Christmas box to see

if she wanted to keep anything

special.

Nah, she decided this box could

go, so she donated it to a

thrift store.

 

Her bedroom boxes were full of

unused quilts.

Things she would never use.

She went through those also and decided

that she did not need any of those.

 

There were some lovely quilts in this

box.

All of her beautiful quilts also got

donated to the thrift store.

After all she is trying to de-clutter her

life.

All I can say is 'good luck to that' Sam!

 

 

With the boxes out of the way, it already

felt roomier!

 

 

I placed things in here but the only thing that

I am satisfied with is the mirror.

 

 Not even satisfied with what I have put in this

closet.

 

Just not sure yet.

 

Have decided that the picture frames will be

donated also.

Gee, I am really proud of Sam for

getting rid of some of this clutter!!

 

I believe that I should keep this area.

 

The table does look good in front of the window.

It looks good in this area even in the shady parts

of the day.

 

Even in the light, it is a happy area.

 

Took out the other rug, and put in this red doily.

It is much livelier!

I had a table but 2 of the legs broke, so I

decided to cut them all down and make a low

coffee table.

Like the drawer in the coffee table.

Love this look!!

 

Also took the red furniture out

and stuck this blue set in!

I like this look much better!!

 

Added some food on top.

Much better.

Time to watch a movie now.

 

The divider screen will be staying and I will

update that.

 

I moved the table and changed the sofa around.

Just trying to get a good feel for the room.

 

Sam is still in her purple dress.

She is looking over the situation.

Love the drawer!!

Remote controls need to go in there.

Just put this rug back underneath  to make sure.

The rug definitely has to go!

Must put back the red doily!!

Yes, this rug will be donated too!!

 

Wanted to make sure that the pillars should stay

gone.

Yes, they must be donated too!!

The table set does not look bad in the middle of the

room.

 

 

 I have decided to keep this area like

this, at least for now.

I thought that I would show you the

inside of the shoe boxes.

A nice set of sheets are on the bottom right hand

side of the cabinet.

I just stuffed them in there.

 

There are 2 lace pillows that I made back in the

90s, that do not belong to any bedding.

I love the cotton lace that is on the pillows.

These 2 pillows are stuffed on the shelf

above the sheet set.

 

I made all of this stuff back in the 90s, with the

exception of the sheets.

They were bought from ebay sometime in 2009.

 

I believe that the pink hat is made of

plastic.

But it is very deceiving once you put

it behind or underneath other items.

I made all of these other hats!

Stuffed them above the pillows.

Sam needs these hats! Must keep these.

 

This is a con-glomeration of

shoes that fill the left side of

the cabinet!

I made the boxes back in the 90s and filled

them with Barbie shoes!

Perhaps Sam could get rid of some of

these, but not right now, she said.

This pair of shoes were pink, but I painted

black on the toes, the heel and the

sides of the shoes.

Added some paper inside!

So cute and sophisticated!

 

I am sure the paint can be scratched off with you

fingernail.

But if you do not do that, then

it stays forever nice!

Sam said she is keeping this pair!

 

This pair is not bad either.

I cannot remember what color these

hi-heels were before I painted it

red!

I gave the heels a black tip too.

Must add paper!

Sam is keeping this pair too!

 

This pair is blue. All I did was paint the soles

black.

Some Barbie shoes are little. This pair is.

Add paper.

Sam is keeping these also.

 

She has 2 pairs of white sneakers!

You never know when you might

need white!

Besides that, she caught them on sale.

She is definitely keeping these.

 

This small pair of pink shoes is also

made of plastic.

Again, I merely painted the soles

black.

Add paper!

 

 This was a slip that I made back in the 90s

from some embroidered lace that I bought

from a fabric store.

Take a piece and stitch up the back - done!

I decided to change the inside of this cabinet

also.

I do not know if the items will stay here or

not. But it looks cute.

Am sure I will take this all out again!

 

I made all of the totes on the top shelf.

They were so easy.

The pattern is called 'Petite Sacs'.

I loved making them and could hardly

stop!

I made the box back in the 90s also.

Inside the box is red ribbon and

some stockings.

The bottom shelf is just some

folded fabric.

 

A dress hangs from an ugly

clothes hanger that I made!!

Navy dress is small enough to fit

a doll.

Samantha can wear this!

Another Petite Sac that I made from

a paper towel and plastic hangs on the

closet doorknob!

 

Here they are again.

On the 2nd shelf - are some pink embroidered

ribbon with lace on them.

They are folded up to resemble corsets.

3 of them folded here.

 

A purple purse, necklace and a little bead

to look like a container are on the same

shelf.

 

I glued up a shelf between the windows

to hang up the gowns and their

matching hats.

 

 It works!

 

I kind of got carried away!!!

I started hanging the clothes up on the right side

first!

Started on the right side now!

 

Gee, I kind of like this, but it does look messy!

No light coming in.

But hey, a girl must have a place to hang her clothes!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
