Undersized Urbanite Final Reveal

We've come a long way, baby.  I bought this dollhouse on a whim, seeking mini furniture for the dollhouse I built for my daughter two Christmases ago.  I actually did not want it at all, since it is large, but the estate sale organizer negotiated it down to $10 for the furniture and house, so I wasn't going to leave it there.  A bout of cancer, a dental emergency, and an intrusive party to be planned all conspired to prevent me from participating in this event, but I perservered.  If anything, Undersized Urbanite kept me from totally losing it.  Please let the cancer influence your vote, also!

If you'd like more details on the progress, check out all of my posts here.

    1. Coming from you, Brae, that is quite a compliment. Tootie Pie and I looked at your reveal and she had a look of wonder mixed with joy when looking at your little studio.

  3. It's gorgeous, Linda! I love all of it. I can't decide which is my favorite room, the living room or the kitchen. See, your yellow kitchen turned out so well, so glad you didn't tone it down. :)

    1. All it needed was natural light, and it doesn't look so brash. I feel honored to be part of the contestants; they are all so talented. Thank you again.

  4. Looks like we shop at the same appliance depot :), so it goes without saying that I love your kitchen! The ikat in the bathroom is beautiful. The before and after shots really illustrate how much work you did, and what a lovely house you have now!

    1. I noticed that, too, only you have upper cabinets. Did you make those? Were they by another maker and you painted them? BTW, I love the little table in the corner. I couldn't figure out how to solve the corner issue and you had such a great solution.
