A DAY OUT merchandising TPH

Yesterday I was invited down to The Passionate Home to do some furniture merchandising.

These are the results ...

This is an amazing full bedroom set including

headboard, footboard, and rails with a medium hyboy dresser (right above)

a ladies dresser w/ tilting mirror (below left) and a vanity with stool and tri fold mirror (below right)

all the pieces have glass knobs and are a wonderful warm antique white.

I used to merchandise for a living but not in a home decor enviroment.

I had a lot of fun doing this and chatting with Carrie and Elinor while working.

My regular days are more like that of a hermit with only a kat to talk at,

althought she does talk back.

I would like to have one of those big fat corbels on my bedside at home so why not here in the store,

and look at that kewl flower shaped mirror in the background.

I specifically went to work with the new bedroom area but that didnt stop me

from completely re-doing a couple of other areas.

and for the final pics

some of the most adorable owls I have ever seen.

If you live locally to The Passionate Home you have to stop in to take in the full view

of my work yesterday, it looks amazing.

Disclaimer: I do not work for The Passionate Home I just enjoy spending time there.

Day 4 - the stairway

Nows the time to make the stairway, before anything else goes on. Ive made two stringers, and the necessary treads and risers. The most time consuming part is the layout. Once its right, I screw, glue, and assemble a completed stairway -

Dollhouse for Peaches Day 13

Day 13 - Finishing up.

Well, here we are on the final day! I took this time to do some minor touch-ups, sanding, etc. and then loaded it in the Suburban. From the shop, the dollhouse is going to be put on display for a few weeks at the local Toledo Woodcraft store! After that, Peaches will take possession of it, and they can paint and finish it. I hope they enjoy it, and Im sure it will become a family heirloom once its finished!

My next project: Ive been commissioned to build a smaller version of this dollhouse, obviously not for Barbies, but a cool one just the same - keep an eye out for new photos!!!

Speaking of which, here are some final photos of the "Dollhouse for Peaches" project!
