Undersized Urbanite Update

Just a little update on the 70's pad I'm doing for the Undersized Urbanite Contest:


I have the siding done.  I think it looks a little like one of those little vacation cabins you rent in the Smoky Mountains.  The outside lights still need to be wired and I still need to trim around the sliding glass door and the edges of the roof. 

 The striped flooring is in downstairs and the fireplace is almost done.

I made the paneling a little more elegant by using a burled wood veneer on the walls then trimming it out with a lighter wood.

I made this track lighting by using three spot lights attached to a piece of wood and painted white.

Siding on the other end of the house. The siding is made from a bamboo floor mat.

I still have A LOT to do like make the kitchen, the bed and round sofa not to mention finish the trim, roof, patio, wallpaper, upstairs flooring and make a spiral staircase.  Any chance I will finish in the next two weeks?  Doubtful, but I'm going to try!

  4. Of course you'll finish. Just don't eat, sleep or do anything else ha-ha. Seriously though I think it's doable. Love those spot lights and the burl wood does look lovely. Good luck =0)
