Apartment #6 - Granny's Sewing Aptmt - Bathroom and Clothes Space

Hello everybody.

I hope you all have been well.

Thank you very much for your

lovely comments.
They are greatly appreciated.

I still cry a lot. I miss my daughter

very much.

I cannot believe how fast the days are

flying by. On Saturday she will passed

away for a month already.

Anyway, it is hard to move on.
But again I try.

 

This is the last segment to Granny's apartment.

It has been hard to figure out how to show

this last section of her apartment.
You will

see why and understand once you see the 

last photo's of how the apartment is laid out.

I have tried to put everything in order as usual,

however for this apartment I have decided to

start with the clothes first and take it from there.

 

This is the dress that hangs on the green bookcase,

otherwise known as her dresser. I had a hard time

photographing the dress - it is green.
This is the front.

No fancy hanger as Granny is just into

the basics.

I bought this dress from eBay for little money

from a Mrs.hughs.Mr.carson.

The dress

had the exact look that I was going for which

is something that looked old and still

had style.
So, this dress Granny cannot part

with, cause it is from her younger days.
 

Here is the back of the dress.

Cute - isn't it!
 

Here is Granny's robe and nite gown.
It is made from a stretchy knit fabric.

It is not

tattered, but old looking just the same.
Granny loves to wear white!
 

Here is the robe opened up.
 

Here is the plain night gown.
 

Just a little bit of fabric, lace and ribbon.
 

This cute little set came from ebay with a seller

named: my newt.
She has lovely lingerie!!!
I bought this about 4 or 5 years ago.

It did not age very well.
So much glue has turned 

yellow on the outside and the inside of each piece.

Granny's apartment was the perfect place to use 

these pieces!!
I wanted it all to look old, she never buys a lot
of clothes.
 

However, these pieces are stiff!!
I reckon because there is

so much glue to hold it all together.

Nothing in Granny's apartment is suppose to 

match and she likes it that way.

The bra, panties and the corset are in still working

order.
I like how it looks dingy.
 

The backside does not look good either.
They

look a little worse for wear, but they are not

holy or tattered or torn.
There is a patch on

the inside of the bra - not done by me.
I never saw it when I bought it.

You can see everything when you take pics

of it.
Some things do not show up right away,

they show up later!

However it is still a lovely Blue set!!
Never been sorry that I bought it.
 

You can see the glue that has yellowed.

This is the bottom of the corset looking inside.
I was thinking about dirtying up this set.
 

This is the back looking to the inside of the

bra.
 

The pocketbook is really cute.
Love the laces

and the straps on here.
 

Much glue on the outside back piece.
 

More pieces that match the pocketbook, and all

of the underwear.
This is an adorable hat.
Does not look bad from the sides.
 

You can see some dingy parts - that is glue.
The hat

looks so good for it aging - at least Granny thinks

so.
She loves her hat and will not be replacing it

any time soon!
 

The star is so cute on top of the hat.
The bow is a

little big and stiff but I just left it that way.
I might change the bow to one that is
more droopy.
 

There was also a hatbox - now what can I say about

that.
The hatbox is so cute!!!
It still looks very nice!.

From the upcoming pics you will see that it has not 

yellowed from any glue.
Still looks brand new!

There is some blue tissue paper on the inside.
This is a lovely piece!
 

The hatbox has a cute emblem on the front!
 

Cute, cute hatbox!!
Sweet ribbon, bow and trims.

The box reads Paris.
Awesome!
 

Inside the hatbox and the hat.
 The hat does not fit in the box. 
It was made for display.
Lovely set!
I love all of the pieces.

This was a pocketbook that I made from a cute

tutorial that was floating around on the net.

So sorry that I cannot remember who made the

tutorial - but it is awesome.
Petite...??
 

I like mixing things up.
This pocketbook was

made from paper towel and strips of plastic.

I glued the strips to the paper towel for

some added strength.
And around the top I 

sewed some pink floss and then with a button!
 

It is different and unique and I like things

that are different.

And yes this pocketbook will open!!

It is great to hold extra soaps or 

whatever you want to put inside.
Easy to close up too.
Currently, there is nothing inside it.

Here is the bottom of the pocketbook.
 

This is a baby button.
 

A little close up but is a little blurry.
The pocketbook is shiny because
of the plastic!

These are some cute porcelain bunny slippers.

So little!

I do not know who made them or where

I got them from.

I have had them for a while.
 

These are a pretty blue!
This is the true color of the slippers.

Cute - so cute!
 

The apartment has a few quilts that I made a few

years ago.
I cannot remember the date.
I think 

they are placed under the heading of 

'Make do' quilts.

I am glad that I finally found a place for them.
 

Here is the back side of the quilts.
 

The pink little crochet doily has hearts

on it.
Given to me by my friend Lynda.
It folded up nicely.
 

The bottom quilt was easy enough

to make. The words:

'Home Sweet Home' came off of

something, that I do not remember

what.
It was easy to strip the short

sides and the long sides to piece

it all together.
 

Back of quilt is just a piece of muslin.
Little quilt not even quilted.

All of these quilts and pink crochet doily set a top

of the shower.
Granny has to store them somewhere!
 

The toilet has an old rectangle plastic pink button.
At least that is what it looks like to me.

Glued to it is strips of toilet tissue.
So old - can you tell?

Also the sink has a cute pink bar of wrapped

soap.
The skirt around the sink is easy to make.

Do you need a tutorial on how to make that?

The toilet also has a skirt on it.
I will tell you how I did that too.

I found this sticker among my stuff and just

thought it would be funny to use here.
It has

a little piece of tacky wax to hold it up.
Yep, Granny is Queen of this apartment!
 

Here is the sink much better with the skirt.
The

little quilt rack holds Granny's 2 towels and the

pocketbook.
Also her shower cap sits on top ready

to be used. 
 

Here is where Granny's underwear is at.
She

had to wash it so it hangs up in the shower

to dry!!
 

Her panties hangs from the shower head.

She uses Johnson's baby shampoo for

her hair and her skin.
She thinks that

it softens just fine!
Granny's always

trying to get double use out of something!

Lol's
 

Another peek in!
 

Another peek from the other side.
 

Her bra hangs up with a little bit of tacky wax.
 

Her bra and her corset!
 

It is drying really well.
 

See the patch on the inside of the bra.
It is drying really well also.

Just a look from the outside of shower.
 

Another peek!
 

Love the flower on the corset!
 

 A better overall view!
If Granny needs more corsets, am sure that
I will buy again from this seller.

If I remember, I believe that I will dirty this
set up to make it look older.
Am sure Granny will love it!

Here is where the shower stall stands.

The robe and nite gown hang on the

side.
The shower curtain and valance

look good here and gives added color.

I wanted to get a pic showing the bra

hanging on the inside.

The black and white bathroom mats

are made from ribbon as is the toilet

set.
You can see the grandfather clock

from the shower stall.
 

This pic was before I put the grandfather clock

there.
 

Granny has to store the quilts somewhere!
 

Stacked to the ceiling!
 

A cute area.
 

Here is the other side of the apartment.

The bathroom is over here.
 

Up close of the toilet cover and mat.
All

made from ribbon.
 

The shelves hold numerous things.
On the

bottom shelf is a bodice, a powder box and

her brush, comb and mirror set.
I made the bodice and the blouses.

Next shelf holds a few blouses, a pair of

old shoes and a necklace that she could

not part with when she moved in.
 

The shelf nearest the pocketbook holds a 

pink box with letters and other notes

given to her by her husband.
She had to

bring them with her to this apartment.

Also, the red glove box holds a pair of white gloves.
I bought this glove box from eBay.
It is a lovely piece.
 

The top shelf holds mainly empty boxes.
 

This is where the blue hatbox sits.
It just fits here!
 

The dress hangs neatly here where

Granny can see it everyday.
I am

sure she wishes that she could

still wear it again.
Even though the hat

does not match the dress, she still

loves to wear it out sometimes!
 

The pocket book hangs nicely here.
 

Just another view.
 

So far this was the best pic that I have of the robe

and nitegown hanging up.
 

Another look.
 

Peeking in!
 

A wide view!
 

You can see the apartment pretty good.
 

This is where the towel bar sets at. 

Granny's apartment is finished.
 

I hope you like Granny's Apartment.

Thank you for visiting me!
