New Doll house,cats and Diana chair

Ive done it again!! Could not resist this sad neglected doll house at a bargain price in the Salvation Army store this week. This will be my third doll house and I love to renovate and bring them back to life. I hope Emily is giving her approval here. Yes Emily I will get your help choosing colour schemes etc.

As you can see I already have tenants looking the house over, but they are hard bargainers when it comes to the amount of rent to pay and do not have a good credit rating. The attic room is not quite 1/12 scale but might make a maids room, with the tenants approval of course.

Below is another project to keep me busy. I bought the chair this week at a 2nd hand shop and will cover it, seat and back with the Charles and Diana wedding fabric I already had. I bought the fabric on ebay and it is left over fabric from men's souvenir ties made for THE wedding. The fabric is strong and suitable for upholstery but of course no one will be allowed to sit on the chair (I think my guests know better by now) and I will somehow fit it into the Diana room.

I was going to cover my 4 dining chairs as there is enough fabric, but then thought even though I live in a house that is almost a museum and a homage to royalty, run by Charlotte and Emily it still is nice to be able to sit down to eat.

Below is a close up of the fabric.

All the pics. in this post are before the renovations. I will show the completed projects later when finished. No time frame given as I can't work under pressure and am easily distracted.

My New Years resolution/ if one thing comes into the house, 2 have to go out.

The girls looked worried for a minute but I have reassured them, told them they are not the 2 things. Maybe I have some old clothes? no I'm still wearing them, or the stove could go as I don't like to cook, or I could just give up resolutions until next year.
