My new mantra.
Until mid august when schools start and it's at the school 8.15 every damn morning..
I'm such a nightowl..
Tomorrow's awards and report cards ceremony..sure enough...8.15...on a saturday morning! Ugh. Make that a double ugh.
I recently made a layout about the fact that Niina incredibly enough chose an oufit for herself that actually matched. And looked cute too.
That being said...this is one of the outfits she put on the other day that gave me a really bad 80's flashback...
...shiver....
On to the playhouse. One of my dad's great ideas was to buy one that was not kid sized. Even adults can stand up in there, yay.
The girls had been quite content playing in it even with unpainted walls and mismatched furniture. But I wanted it to look fun and inviting.
Last year I finally painted the walls and floor. This year it was time to concentrate on the furnishings. Some stuff had been painted last summer already. I love how it looks now. And the girls brag about having the best playhouse ever, lol..
Welcome to What Street 9.
On the porch we have a real old cash register (my dad used to work for NCR= national cash register way back when... this was one the perks). Depending on the day it's a shop or a restaurant.
Step inside.
The table used to be bright red and in my room when I was about 5. I just added the wheels to it yesterday. That super cute fabric is from IKEA.
My grampa made this shelf for me when I was a little girl.
The new shelf. New baskets too :o)
Now this cooler is special. Would you belive it is over 50 years old? In 1952 Helsinki hosted the summer Olympic Games. That was the event that brought Coca Cola to Finland. This little baby is a collectors item. But it was collecting dust in the garage, so I thought it was in better use here.
Not quite sure of what's on the menu today...
This is such an adorable playhouse. I love the cash register and the colors in there. I think it's hillarious that you've got a mailbox that says U.S. mail...is that wishful thinking for mail from the U.S. or do all the mailboxes there say that too???
