When will the electricians come?

Here is the stage i have reached so far. I really want to fit led lights to this house. its a modern house. 
I want to use retro designer furniture. Its going to be based around present day living.

 i got some strip lights from an ebay seller






 then i tried battery lights i dont think they are very bright though


 when i tried them out them in they were flickering at a very fast rate


 thats the bedroom floor. waiting for lights in the living room


 and the bathroom floor waiting for kitchen lights


gotta love the lava lamp!!!!


watch this space

When the house came.


My mum asked me what to get my daughters for christmas, I suggested a dolls house. Well..we had been looking at them together and they showed an interest! i was well chuffed. Anyways, so very close to where i work is a lady who sells them, before this i didn't really do ANY research what so ever. no clue of prices design ANYTHING. dollshouse dumbo totally. i so dont advise this route.

When i went to ask her what she has, she showed me a few houses. Now being no kind of expert, never looked at them before, i asked her the price of a certain house, she told me she would let me know.

Well, its about christmas time, and i'm really busy with work.
A couple of days pass, she calls me to tell me the price and that she has ordered one for me! 
The price seemed ok. so i just said "ok"

Later on at home i started looking on the net, prices etc. I couldn't believe what this lady had quoted me, she was ripping me off! i called her to ask her if she really had the right price??? she got very angry with me, saying she cant compete with internet prices, which i understand, but there was a extreme difference. after looking at other houses i wish i didn't get that one, i didn't even ask her to get it for me!!!

Now because she works very close to me and its a close community i didn't cancel the order, i had to keep things sweet for my business sake. Even though i didn't ask her to order it!!!! 

Anyway so the house came, and my husband helped me to put it together! I liked that bit the best. I didn't like it very much. I couldn't even sell it. I would not have got anything for it. I ended up buying it myself. The girls were not that interested either!

So i started painting it, and working on it. The more i worked on it the more i liked it. And i think i like it a lot now. I have lots of things for it.  i am going to make lots of things for it. The girls like it now! But i wont let them touch it! Its  MINE!!!!!

New to blogging & new to dolls houses!

It really is bedtime. It's the time where most people mums and dads babies and kids are fast asleep. For me it's the time I wake up. Never been a morning person!

So I got this dollhouse. I should have got it 30 years ago!

Let the fun begin!
