After: sun room with foldable guest bed.. and I just love this wallpaper!

After: making one room out of the kids bedrooms for minis and office



Building can be painless with the right workmen: mine were tremendous, they worked hand-in-hand with each other. They were done in 9 weeks with all the new floors, walls, false ceilings, electrical wiring, new bathrooms, custom made kitchen, plumbing and all. I was afraid that all this indirect LED lighting would not be homely - but, boy, the technology today is just fantastic!

Moved in mid December again - love the wood and bright-airy look. My mini models certainly inspired me to design this concept. And - cleaning out loads of stuff was such a relief! 

So, now I am walking around with a constant smile :-))))
Still need to make a few curtains and things and then I am back into mini-building again.

  2. Black HDPE sheets are highly valued for their UV resistance and long-lasting outdoor performance. These sheets are widely used in agriculture, construction, and packaging industries. Selecting HDPE black plastic sheet ensures protection against sunlight, moisture, and chemical exposure. Their strong structure, flexibility, and recyclability make them a sustainable and economical solution for applications requiring durability and environmental resistance over extended periods.

  3. These Plastic HDPE Sheets are durable, flexible, and suitable for multiple applications. The quality of the HDPE Sheets is evident from their smooth finish and strong structure. We utilized HDPE Sheets in industrial fabrication, and they handled stress and environmental exposure very well. The sheets are easy to work with and require minimal maintenance. Overall, HDPE Sheets are a smart investment for projects requiring strength and reliability.
