I printed a floor!

[susandennis]

I pulled my tiny stuff back out and set up shop again on the table in the living room. I accidentally cut into the flooring. Well, it's the paper picture of flooring that you glue on. I won't need it for a while but I got to googling and found some printable dollhouse flooring! So I printed me out some nice parquet. The room has kind of a mid century feel so I'm thinking parquet is perfect. I made a cabinet with wonky drawers that actually pull out. (They look like they were built by someone drinking heavily on the job, however.)



But, before that, I did go to Goodwill and did not find much interesting but had a nice walk around and dropped off a Smart Car full of stuff. And then on to Safeway. The one I went to in order to avoid the gross one wasn't actually that much better. Safeways used to be nice. Apparently that reign is over. At least there are two nice ones over in West Seattle where the pool is. And one of those is 24 hours. I need to stop going other places. Especially since now there is such a straight shot highway back and forth.

My house is so clean. It looks wonderful and smells better. yeah!

Some kind soul keeps uploading the British Sewing Bee and linking it from Reddit. So nice! I downloaded yesterday's episode just now and plan to watch it in just a bit.

Actually right now. It's still cold - there are still the odd little piles of snow here and there from 2 weeks ago. This afternoon, I have the insulating blinds down and the ceramic heater going. And now I'm going to pull out the crocheted blanket to work on so I can have it in my lap! Double duty.

The cabinet drawers would fit perfectly in my home. :-D

I think the cabinet looks cute and "vintage " like this :)

Thank you

I laughed at you thinking the drawers looked like someone drunk had made them :-)

I'm fascinated by these miniature rooms. I'd never heard of them before I saw them here and they really are lovely. And you've got me watching the Great British Sewing Bee as well!

ha! My work here is done. Squared.

Oh, yes! All the apartments I can remember from my childhood had parquet floors.

The handles on those drawers look like they would if I had done them (even without the drinking part).

I've always thought of mid-century as 50 years ago and it dawned on me this morning that it's now way closer to 75 years ago. Wonder what they will call the decorations of the 2050's?

I shall now refer to that cabinet as Robert's Drawers.
