My PINK Painted Striped WALL

Well, I have to tell you.....awhile back while looking at Bella Mary's Home aka Isabellascloset, she had the BEST PINK STRIPED WALLS and, I WAS PINK with ENVY!!!!

I really wanted some PINK STRIPED WALLPAPER. Not able to find any...I took matters into my own hands. I went and bought some 1940's PINK PAINT and lots of PAINTERS TAPE and in a matter of an hour and a half...I had painted myself my PINK STRIPED WALL!!! And it only took ONE COAT, just like the paint can said!!!

I love this wall as it is in my "shop" part of the house. I have moved things around once again....Since our signature trademark "Is Because We Love Playing House" I have to...you know, PLAY HOUSE all the time!!! I get these brain storms and love doing this....so I am constantly playing house....

The picture below...it what it looks like right now....I have ANOTHER CLEAN SLATE to play house with and I will of course, show pictures of it when I am done. I found this darling (SIX and a HALF FOOT TALL Cupboard, already painted white, and with that adorable SCALLOP across the top), at one of my favorite shops. One thing I know for sure....it will be forever changing as the mood strikes me....OH I LOVE BEING A GIRL!!! ~Amy~

BEST FIND OF THE WEEK

HUGE SHABBY PINK DOLLHOUSE

OH MY GOODNESS ARE WE EXCITED OR WHAT??? AS MADDI SAID while I was taking these pictures tonight...."I WON THE TROPHY".....I about busted a gut laughing at her....SHE WAS SERIOUS and is SO EXCITED!!!

Maddi was gone for a few hours late this afternoon so I quick ran to one of my favorite places....I didn't find a thing BUT...MY HONEY OF A PEACH MOM called me and told me to get across town as she found something FABULOUS and I had to get there right away. So, 30 minutes later, I swear I hit every RED LIGHT, there I was at the place she was waiting for me.....& there she stood GUARDING this DARLING HUGE PINK DOLLHOUSE!!! OMG!!! TALK ABOUT DOING THE HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY DANCE.

I could not believe SHE didnt' want it and I tell you girls, I am going to have a HARD TIME SLEEPING TONIGHT.....as I have VISIONS OF SUGAR PLUMS DANCING IN MY HEAD. I already know I am going to use some of my old 1940's fabric and redo all the FLOORS!!! The inside walls are all SHABBY PASTEL COLORS and I am going to leave them just like they are....but boy oh boy.....are the ideas flying thru my head. CURTAINS, LITTLE PAINTING (I will make all of this myself of course) and OOOO I HAVE SOME Vintage Dollhouse Wool Hooked Rugs that will be PERFECT inside. I will of course, take pictures as the "HOME IMPROVEMENTS" progress......AND SINCE THIS IS A KEEPER.....I have to tell you what I paid for it....$8.00....YES...ONLY EIGHT USA DOLLARS. It's SOLID OAK and ALL HANDMADE and the BEST PINK OUTSIDE PAINT with WHITE TRIM!!!!

OH TO BE A GIRL!!!! THIS IS THE BEST FIND THIS WEEK...maybe even THIS MONTH!!!!
