Vita Plastica

And that's about all you're going to get as an apology for my picture quality today. I was rushing so I didn't even bother trying to get a good picture out of this. I did loads of work this weekend, mostly the fun part which is putting little details in the rooms. Dani and Felix's kitchen: Tea Time in Josephine's Living Room: Josephine's Foyer: Josephine cozying up with Gypsy Ken. That's temporary flooring by the way: Josephine's kitchen. Voila! Brie avec baguette et vin. Tres magnifique! Nadia sees her crush Miho at the record store. "Did I wave too hard? Look too happy to see her?" The Vinyls audition a new keytar player. And boy is she cute... The Dynamite girls meet for dinner. Finally figured out a personality for Alanna (Dynamite girl TJ): Super rich spoiled socialite. So she HAD to have the Jonathan Adler couch. Josephine's balcony door. Meh, I'm not thrilled with it. Consider it a work in progress. Let's talk about another...

Man, I've never been so happy to see Friday. How can you be so exhausted all the time, but then have so much energy? Maybe I am tired of work and only have energy for dolls and other small adorable creatures? I actually have plans with fully grown human type people this weekend so I don't know how much work will be done. But I always say that and cram in as much as possible. The Year of Luxury doesn't actually begin until October 31st but I'm getting a head start. We're getting our car checked out on Saturday and if I don't spend a month's rent on repairs (doubtful, it's just the check engine light that's been on for like a year and our mechanic is awesome), then I am buying myself a luxurious gift. I'm not going to say what it is because you if actual doll collectors beat me to ebay and buy it, I might cry. No seriously, I will. I'm really hormonal. But I will tell you after I buy it and take many pictures. You know, Josephine's hair is...

My Smidge sofa is here! Wow, that was quick! It is beautifully made and perfectly suited to Josephine. I didn't even redress her for this photo. That's just some old thing she was wearing around the house. This weekend was really busy. I decided to take the upcoming Year of Luxury seriously. I painted Josephine's living room and installed the wainscotting. Course, I shoulda painted the wall first and the wainscotting got a bit twisty but I still like it. After it's done, it will look like this: See how perfect my new sofa looks in this room too? This will probably be Josephine's living room sometimes and a cafe at other times. This means I'm still going to need some Smidge chairs for my sitting room. C'mon payday! So why wainscotting on only 3/4th of the wall? Well, the truth is, I don't have a wood cutter mechanism for the molding. Not even a little saw. And I wanted Josephine to have a foyer anyway, so this worked out. I lamented the loss of my damask ...
