Get Messy and Paint

I've been a bit busy putting together some 1/6 scale furniture I purchased a few months back. I just haven't had an opportunity to finish these off until recently so I decided to get in there and finish everything all at once which meant a few days of painting and gluing and sanding.

But I'm glad I did. I feel like I actually accomplished something during my holidays. I only have a week left of it and as per usual, I thought I would be spending it doing way more doll related things than actually happened. Helena is my beautiful model again for this.

First up is this wardrobe that I had put together months ago but never finished so I got in and painted it in a "Jade" colour. I painted the bar in metallic silver which works great. I just need to purchase some coat hangers for the wardrobe. The chair is new and I finished putting that together and painted it too. I still need to add a seat cushion but the major part is done.

 The new daybed which can also act as a sofa. I really love this one - it was quick to put together. The painting took a bit longer though as there was an outside and an inside to paint (where I will store some cushions). I still need to make the seat cushion for this one too but that's okay.

Remember that park bench I put together so long ago now? I finally decided to paint it. I was just going to stain it but then I changed my mind and decided on doing something a bit more colourful because I love colour and lots of it. This took me a while to paint as I had to do between each slate and then because I did the arm parts a different colour, I had to go very very slow in those areas. Hubby said it was "interesting" and said he wouldn't imagine putting these two colours together. I told him that's the point. It's supposed to be a bit zany. My idea behind the colours was the sun in a blue sky.

This shows all the pieces I did. Including the little coffee table which started out as white but then I changed the colour to more of a pearl white. The stark white was just not doing it for me. I am going to the hardware store next week to get some stain paint and some thin wood. I want to make stackable walls and floors (for easy storage and easy to set up for photos) that actually look like painted walls. I have been building some colourful houses in the Sims 4 and really liked some of the colours I put together on the walls  so I want to make some of those walls for quick dioramas.

Hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend!
