Simply white.

It's moving day!

A little more than 3 months behind schedule, but the dollhouse is done

and on its way to Mack and Maggie's playroom.

When we asked our daughter what color to paint the dollhouse,

she said white.  Since she recently painted all the rooms and the dark trim

in their bungalow Simply White, it's only fitting that the dollhouse
wears a coat of white paint, too.

It resembles the new 2 story homes that are replacing the single story dwellings
 in our daughter's old neighborhood.  Instead of shutters, we chose to embellish the windows
with chunky craftsman trim, inside and out.
 

It's got a little Mr. T bling going on with the bright brass door handles and hinges,
 but brass is back, right?

The flokati rugs and oversized chalkboard fit right in with their uptown style.
The chalkboard was pilfered from our youngest daughter's garage sale boxes.

I stitched up 2 comfy beanbag chairs for the children to recline in while

they watch movies and cartoons.

Oops!
 In my haste to take photos before loading the dollhouse into our car, I mistakenly placed

 prematurely-gray-haired Father in the chair instead of Brother.  hehe
(Building a house for his demanding wife really aged him this winter.)

Mom and Grammy sit in their thrifted chairs while they discuss the kitchen appliances

 that have yet to be purchased.  The table and chairs were 50 cents at our local thrift store.

Father and Daughter movie night.  hehe

One of the unfinished bonus rooms on the third level is ready

for fun times with the addition of a glittery disco ball (Hobby Lobby Christmas ornament).
Or maybe Sister would like this room as her bedroom.  They'll have to sleep
on the floor until they buy bedroom furniture, but not to worry, there's plenty of
flokati left over for makeshift beds.  Also, we've seen how Maggie plays with the house.
She empties out the house and fills each room with a large stuffed animal.
And covers the house with a blanket.

Father and Gramps discuss politics in the living room.
Let's get out of here!

We'll let Maggie open up the box with fixtures for the bathroom.

I'd like to be a mouse in the corner when the dolls use the facilities.  :o)

Partially furnished house.  It's just right for a 3 year old and her brother.

So long Rangers!  Minneapolis, here we come!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!
