I've been working on this for a while now, I could have redecorated MY house in the time it took me to do this!

Anyway, at one point I had them living in Manhattan with the FR furniture, then I changed it to Hawaii, still using the FR furniture. When I bought the couches from Kimberlee, I was just going to use them for an occasional dioramas, but since they looked so beachy, I moved out all the FR stuff & changed everything around. Everybody is out running errands right now, so let's take a little tour before they get back. Some of the pics are a little dark, so the lighting can show up (yes! I have lighting!)

Here's a front view of the couch:

The matching bench:

The "window". I took this picture last time we went to Hawaii, I just printed it big for this. I finally found some non glare glass for it, so I can take a decent picture of it.

Close up of one of the plantation shutters. This made such a difference to the room when I put them in. Looks like real wood doesn't it? It's a piece of paper glued on cardboard.

The lamps! I made the base of this, & used the shade from a Gloria playset. It doesn't really light, I'm faking it with miniature spot lights.

A cabinet I made out of trinket boxes & business card holders. I also made this lamp. In fact, I probably obsessed more about this lamp than anything else. I used an acrylic block, topped by a napkin ring I spray painted, & made the shade out of scrapbook paper. I topped it with something I got in the bead store, & glued small Swarovski flatbacks to the top. Even if you don't give a damn, please post you love this lamp. Feel free to lie if you need to.

The wall next to the stairs:

The wall opposite the stairs with the dresser I repainted. The chairs are some Barbie things from somewhere, I think they had blue seats, so I recovered them with contact paper that looks like suede & they came out great. I put all the artwork on black foamboard, I really like how it looks. It's not in the picture, but there are 2 spotlights shining down which is why you see light.

 

This is the coffee table. The base is a candle holder with the top underneath it. I took the candle out, filled it with sand & some shells, then used a piece of glass from a frame as a table top.

This is extra seating, I made the cover myself, which is why you're not getting a closeup!

Here's some pics of the girls at home, Isha is telling everyone about her latest photoshoot.

Discussing fashion, what else?

And finally, Colette at the bar:

Hope you enjoyed the tour!
