Kits & More Miniature Kits

 I love kits. I like making most of them, though a few can get a bit fiddly. But to me, the fun is putting the kits together, choosing colors, paints and stains, and picking the fabric to make it fit into a certain project.

As I mentioned in the last post, I made a few furniture pieces that went with the greenhouse kit I pulled out. Kind of cute. (*Click photos for full size. See other links in left column archives.)

Then, since I decided to make an attic  in the Lavender Cottage, I finally found a place for these:

What are they?

 Legs for a ping-pong table kit (SDK Miniatures.) I'd had this kit a long time; at one point I even wondered why I bought it as I really didn't have a place for it. Then I thought, hey, it can go in this house. Mostly as that place you store stuff on. You know... ha! Actually, it looks pretty cool so far. I'll show it once I get the net on and the paddles painted.

Saw a great little project in my FB Half Scale group of someone's toy room and it's so cute, it made me decide to pull out a bunch of toys I've collected. I can at least store them all here until or if I decide to use them somewhere else. I'll at least know where they are instead of in all kinds of drawers everywhere. 😊 Still looking for a few, though I have to check the Fairfield, as wondering if I put them in there. 

Many of the pieces are great handmade items from the annual half scale swap. I also pulled out some of the art from past swaps that'll fit on the walls here, like my sad vintage animals pictures from the previous Kitschy swap. Might be a few things I'll use from this. This year's should be coming soon!

A couple bookcases I'll use on the side wall for toys, books, and stuff. I'll put a TV on top of the lower shelf.

And... changed my mind! Sometimes you try to fit in different furniture and it just doesn't "feel" right, know what I mean? Then I realized I had this pretty bed set (old Avon resin furniture). I think it looks really nice in the attic and I always liked the bed. So am thinking of using that. I also found a second in my stash so I'll have one to use in another project. (Yay!)

So, a "small" update. I've got all kinds of stuff pulled out now to see what accessories to put in here. Amazing how much stuff a house will need, (and how much stuff is "hoarded" away!) Just like real life. haaaa!

Until next time! Thanks again for visiting! Come back soon of more updates!
