When I found out that the little girls who will be the new owners of this house would be out of town for Christmas, and several weeks afterwards, there was no pressure to finish it so quickly. This also meant that I could take more time and make it look better than if I had to hurry.
Click here to read how I found this house and rescued it from the garbage truck.
Progress so far...
The bathroom will be inaccessible when the front bathroom wall and the roof go on, but it will be able to be seen well enough through the doorway. I bought the little table in a discount store for $2, painted it and added the basin, tap, etc. The basin is a bit of packaging from a box of chocolates, the faucet is made of covered wire. The toilet bowl is made from a laundry powder scoop. The shower head is made from covered wire and a couple of buttons. The shower screen is plastic sheeting with the blue plastic covering left on one side so that it looks like coloured glass. The shiny white wall and floor surface is high gloss photo print paper.
The basic furniture for the other rooms is all ready to go in when the renovation is complete - which it nearly is. More on the completion of this project later.
Giveaway coming soon!! - please wait for details!!
I haven't forgotten I promised a giveaway in January - please wait a few days for me to post the details and then you can enter :) Thanks for your patience!

It's great for saving the house and restore it to life.
It has lots of charm, and I think it will have really a lot of character when it will be completed.
In addition, it will make the happiness of a little girl, it's an extraordinary destiny that has been fortunate to be on your way. ;)
Very creative, Norma! I'm really enjoying watching the step-by-step progress! :-) Jennifer
What an improvement - it's a lovely makeover and I like the "budget" bathroom. I'd never have guessed it was made up from all those other items.
Wow, Norma! You've done a lot of work on this house. Those girls are going to be so happy. I love your counter in the kitchen with the curtain and what you have done to the bathroom. So ingenious how you have created the toilet bowl, the sink and the taps, and the blue glass wall!
What little girl isn't going to LOVE this!!!

Hi Norma ... just wanted to stop by and see how you're doing. I am so sorry you got me addicted to pinterest ... now I think I may need intervention. What say you! :D
great project and you have good ideas. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the house!
What a lovely bathroom, first thought you had bought expensive contemporary miniatures for it....great to hear what you have made it from! Now why can't I ever find such useful shaped lids amongst my household rubbish?! Lovely to see it all coming together, what lucky girls!
Love your simple ideas using household stuff! Bathroom looks very trendy.
Fabulous, just fabulous, Norma! Bravo!!
I will love bashing something like this . I too would have saved it from the dump. :)
I love the creative way you came up with the items in the bathroom! Those little girls are going to love it!
