Why Should Kids Have All the Fun?

I mentioned going to Michael's late last week. I forgot to mention that I spent my 50% off coupon on, of all things, a set of kid's paintbrushes. I have used Royal Langnickel brushes before and they were very good brushes. I never thought to look in the kid's section for brushes.

There are 5 in all. They are all my favorite shape for painting dollhouse walls. They slant to a point at one end of the flat brush. They're great for getting into corners and painting straight edges. What is even better about this set is the handles. They are the soft grip kind meant for little ones to grab easier. If you are doing a lot of painting inside the dollhouse they are much easier on the hands than the plain kind. These are my new best friends. Best of all, it was 3.00 for five brushes with the coupon.

I started painting the bedroom this morning.Zar decided on the Trail Tan Ceramcoat that we first used in the kitchen. It was too dark in there, but it's just right in the bedroom. I used Antique White for the ceiling. I seldom use straight black or white in dollhouses. They just seem to harsh to me. It's just a personal quirk.

The color to the left as you are looking at the photo is close to the real color and the ceiling just to the right is the Antique white. Zar agrees that they work well with the bed. There will be a lot of dark woodwork in the room.

I see a few spots that have to be touched up in the corner of the window bay. I get to use the new brushes again. Goody!

Don't forget to poke the photo. You will be able to see the bed a lot better.

After I finished setting the bed in the room so that Zar could approve, guess who showed up? I'll give you a hint....."It's ugly. No puce!"

Tessie proceeded to climb up on the bed and refused to come down unless we got out the puce paint. I had to open the paint drawer below the house and prove that there wasn't any puce to be found. I also had to fib and tell her that there was no gas in the car to go buy some. It was just a tiny,wee lie.

When Zar had had enough nonsense, he threatened to take her apart with his pipe wrench. I left when he started trying to get her down and she kept just out of his reach. As far as I know they are still squabbling.

I need to get back to seriously cleaning the workroom again. No.....I didn't finish it last week. It is a never ending job.

See you tomorrow.
