A Boutique Makeover

Things at the boutique have been going pretty well.  So, when a business retired next door after forty wonderful years, Halle got excited with the idea of possibly expanding her shop.

 

After many negotiations with the owners, she was able to acquire the space and have the wall knocked out.

 

Here is the new and improved Elle La La!

(formerly Halle's Boutique)

Now open for business and now hiring!

Before & After: Dollhouse

Hey!  Some months ago I purchased this Barbie doll house from the thrift shop and decided to give it a renovation.



As you can see, it came in the purple and pink with a whole lot of stickers.
 

 

After taking it apart, removing the stickers with Goo Gone (great product!) and giving it a deep clean, I started the painting process.

 

 

Fyi: I also removed all the window frames along with the balcony and front door framing, since I wanted them to remain the same color.  When the paint was dry, the window frames were reattached with an adhesive by Loctite.

 

 

Khaki and Espresso spray paint by Krylon Fusion were the two colors used.  Khaki for the body and Espresso for the roof.  Oh, and a small amount of red for the mailbox.

 

 

Inside was also painted with Khaki and the floors were finished off with hardwood style shelf/drawer liners by Magic Cover.

 

 

I am in the process of working on another home like this one for a family in the Dollies Series.  Still thinking about a color.  So, stay tuned!
