There is truly no better way to make progress on a project than to not have to work! I haven't posted any of my improvements in a while because Blogger has been
having an issue with uploading images "for some users on Internet Explorer" since January 4th. Of course, I would be one of the users affected. They only just posted the workaround, which was to use the HTML editor. I tried everything, believe me, except, of course, using the HTML editor. Ah, well, it just makes for a meatier post!
The things I can accomplish! I'm still having issues placing the pictures correctly, as you will no doubt notice. Here are just some of the things I have done while I restore my health:
Dining Room: For some unknown reason, I had two brown dining room chairs with green pads, and two dining room chairs with red pads. So, I spray painted the whole set white to match and to cover up the rose decal on table top.

Different couch, changed color

Living Room: I had a Reac Petit Confort sofa that we got last year for Christmas. We also got a battery powered Fisher Price yellow Volkswagon, which ran over the Petit Confort on Christmas on its maiden voyage, which is why it was not yet in the Keystone house. I learned a lesson about delicate miniatures, four-year olds and battery operated cars in the house. I finally fixed the couch (the back legs were torn off). Also, I sprayed the coffee table and side table silver for added glamour.
Kitchen: I finished the floor and wallpaper in this room. I added the Tomy kitchen set that I already had, plus some Lala Loopsy chairs and accessories, a Reac shell chair, and a high chair that my neighbor sold us last year. The table is CPG brand. The cereal on the table is Croonchy Stars - I made it from a JPEG of an actual cereal box from the 1980's. Take a close look at the picture. I papered the walls in Dresden Yellow art paper.
Bedroom: I'm experimenting with furniture. I removed most of the "Made in West Germany" furniture
that started this whole escapade, and replaced it with an ETA math manipulative bed with a real fur throw, and "Made in Hong Kong" dresser and armoire set. I think it will pop better when I add the wallpaper and flooring. Right now I'm liking the "before" better.

I much prefer the matching dining in white :) LOL and my absolute fave is how awesome the yellow and pink little la la loopsies look in that blue and white room fantastic!
ReplyDeletewow, you've done a lot of work, the bedroom will look put together once you get the walls and floors done.
