Marshmallow Manor gets it's first visitor!

Just when I was beginning to think that this house was too small for Otis to mess with, he showed me otherwise!!! LOL......Look close, you can see his head in the bay window, He's actually chewing on it!!!

LOL....Thought I'd show you that Otis is as big as the house is......If he was sitting up straight you wouldn't even see the house!!

I've gotten a lot of work done on it this weekend. The whole house got a coat of Joint Compound, then a coat of Ivory paint, although if you ask me, it looks yellow, not ivory!

Those white things above the windows will get roof tiles......It just Styrofoam, coated with Joint Compound.

And I started the inside....hahaha~ Otis came back and thought I was going to let him try and squeeze his head in here again.......

The red is too bright for my likings, so I'll probably give it a wash of brown or something.....Looks good with the wood floors, huh?!

OK...I'm off to think about how I want to paint the inside of the bay windows....

Until next time........

Head Butts.....

The further I get, the more I fall in love! I spent the day yesterday adding more layers to the Star Wars Toystore. I painted, I sprayed this stone stuff on it.....I 'iced' some more.....and then painted again. It's still not finished....I need to add some darker glazes to it....But this is where I'm at so far.....

Then last night, I decided to start working on the inside. I want a step/shelf to wrap around the base of the walls......So I cut a 1 inch strip of Styrofoam.....and hot glued it in. Then, I started on the desk. It was so easy.....Styrofoam glued to foam board...glued to Styrofoam, that was glued to another piece of foam board. Lost yet?? :)

Then I coated it with the Joint Compound.......While letting it dry, I decided to take a few pictures of my progress. Even broke out a few toys to scatter about....

Took one picture...went to take another from a different angle......And I got head butted!!!

Then he decided he wanted the camera cord, and I had to fight him off!! Literally! Gees...Go away already!!

I did manage to convince him that he had to stay out of the house for awhile so I could start the floor.....

I could see him now.....rolling around in it. I already got fussed at once for getting paint on his nose...

Could you imagine a cat full of Joint Compound??? LOL...Not good.....

So....here's the beginning of the floor. I still have to go back and add another coat of compound, before I can start painting it........Then it's on to the walls....and the the shelves......
