Kitchen Papered and Floored, Made Dinette Set Match, Fixed Petit Confort Couch and Made Living Room Tables Silver

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
of tables
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.
