Lay down some plastic and let's paint!

And this is another point when I wish I had listened and just followed the directions. I didn't know what colors I wanted the inside of it to be, so I decided I could do it after I put the place together. I also couldn't decide if I wanted to paint or put up wallpaper. There had been plans to put in some wiring, but the cost was a little... much. I didn't want to go bankrupt trying to put together a dollhouse.


So, I went back to Lowes and this time I had some paint samples made. We already had some usable paint (old paint that hadn't dried out in the eight years it was sitting in the garage). So I went and had two paint samples made. A warm gray color and an olivey green. The third color was a lightish blue color (the one we already had).

It was awkward trying to paint everything without it dripping. I tried to keep paint off the floors, but I decided I was going to put in carpet, so maybe it didn't matter too much. I used a piece of cardboard to try and keep paint where I wanted it to, but I actually ended up getting paint on the floor because of the cardboard. It's rather ironic.

I also painted the ceiling white, because reasons.
