February-March
A family in our ward gave us a doll house a few weeks ago. They're kids are all grown and gone and they thought we might be able to get more use out of it. So we made plans to redecorate it for Brylee's birthday.

This is the before . . . .


Here is an after of the kitchen. We (the kids and I) made curtains that open and close, a tablecloth, and plates with different food items painted onto each side. We also added hooks for the dishtowels.


We made a clock for the kitchen and Liberty had the idea to paint the time that Brylee was born on it-so that's what we did.


The house came with the wood furniture, but we made couch cushions that could be removed and little throw pillows, we also paintd a vase and put flowers in it for the coffee table. I painted on windows with scenes of quaking aspens, mountains, clouds, etc.


We also found these cute little frames at the dollar store and put acutal family pictures in them for Brylee. They are attached to the wall with poster putty so she can rearrange all she wants.


We made a big girls room complete with clothing chese, t.v., robe hooks, and mirror.


We made a baby girls room with a clothes chest, coat hooks, a picture of Jesus on the wall and a pink puppy.


And we made a Ken room again with a clothing chest, mirror, tv, and robe hooks.


We had a fun time decorating it (that was always my favorite part of playing dolls when i was growing up-setting up the house). The kids couldn't wait to see what Brylee thought and they also wanted to play with it sooo bad. We'll see if they can keep the secret until Brylee's birthday.

Very cute! You have put a lot of work into that and a lot of detail. Glad you got the up close pictures.
