Apartment #5 - Paula Brooks aptmt - Shabby Floor

Hello Everybody!

I hope you all have been well and

are enjoying what is left of the

summer!

 

Trying to make each apartment different

is a chore!
Especially since all doors

are in the back of the building.

 

After this apartment is finished - I have more

Tutorials for some easy clothes.
So, look for these!

 

Please forgive me - I stay busy! I am always

doing and working on several projects at once.
And right now I am still

de-cluttering this sewing room,

doing miniatures and making pincushion

dolls!!
The pincushion dolls are on my other blog:
www.remakeremixreuse.blogspot.com
 

Isn't it amazing how quickly you can become

disorganized only after doing a few projects!
And how anything that was organized becomes
a mess really fast!

 

I have decided that apartment #5 is going to

have all white walls. It is a bold move in this

apartment building, since so far the
other apartments have lots of color.
Also I want

to bring in some touches of black here.
Well, we will see what happens, if I am able to

do it!

 

I have had these floors for eons or so it seems.
They

originally were a dark reddish look.
I never liked the color.

 It took 4 coats of white paint with a little

sanding in between each coat,
for the floor to look like this.
Afterwards, I brushed

on a little black to simulate some wear and tear

on the floors.

Notice that the floors are not glued in yet.
Also

notice that the floor does not go to the entire

back wall. It is a little short.
Am sure I will not use this floor here.

 

The front door will be on the right side of this

apartment towards the right.

Thank you for visiting me!
