doll house re-do ♥ part 4

!!!doll house frenzy over here at sevensisters!!!
so here is my last and final post about this doll house remodel then i'm on to other exciting things...
i have to say i'm super excited about how everything turned out...my plan was to "simply" (uh-huh)...(huge eye roll) redecorate this little doll house find a table for it somewhere (like target) put it in my daughter's room and be done with it....
42 hours later....765 dollars in the hole (exaggeration) here is the final deal...
i never found a table i quite liked for a price i quite liked :)...but it ended up being my favorite part of the whole project, i love the way this table looks with the house...much thanks to my aunt who taught me how to sew this band/skirt for the table :) thanks aunt P!!

i've now discovered i love Modge Podge and it works on anything & everything and you really can't goof it up, hardly at all, not much...too much...unless you're a free spirit/tinkerbell-ish type person :P (giggle)
so here it is...thank you everyone for following me on this long and indecisive journey (pink or teal? paisley or gingham?) i don't know where i'll go from here, but i think pear honey, leg warmers & items of the Christmas nature are calling my name...


...Stools ♥ Tutorial...
Materials needed:
wooden stool (got mine @ joann's)
fabric, batting, foam, ric rac,
craft paint, acrylic sealer or mod podge,

♥ verse i found this week...Isaiah 40:11♥
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and shall gently lead those that are with young.
