My Doll House...

I have been working in Ft Worth for nearly a year.  Living in hotels & a couple of different apartments...never really having the time to get settled.  Up until recently, I only had the bare necessities.  A mattress & box springs I purchased the 3rd month I was here, an office chair for the built-in desk I had at the 1st apartment, 3 camp chairs (living room furniture) & a blue cooler (coffee table).  I looked like I was living in a guy's bachelor pad...minus the sink full of dishes...I didn't have any dishes to fill cupboards let alone a sink.

So, 2 weeks ago I convinced my parents to help me move some things from my storage south of San Antonio.  We got to Ft Worth Monday evening...unloaded the trailer, trucks & the work began.  There was so much to do & so little time to do it.  I had furniture to refinish & repurpose.  We needed to get this little apartment whipped into shape!  There is a little man coming soon!

My dad stayed the rest of the week, doing handyman stuff.  My mom agreed to stay for a few more days to help me get things put together.  She started several painting projects last weekend.  I was only allowed to watch.  So, I did.  She spent a good 3 days painting and another 2 days arranging furniture & decorating.  All the things I love to do, but just don't have time for.  Below are some pictures of the finished product.  It looks fabulous!!!  All thanks to my amazing Mom & Dad!!!
