Welcome, I'm Molly.
I was told that many of you
wanted to meet us and see
more of our house, so Mom has
arranged this tour for you.
Here is our kitchen.
This is my favorite room.
You see, I like to bake and prepare
treats for my sisters and brother.
The tea cups are the Colonial Williamsburg
tea set for Pleasant Co.
Inside the cupboard are some of the Pleasant Co.
Felicity Colonial Tea Set pieces as well
as some other lovely items.
This is the top of the pantry.
The flower vase is another Pleasant Co. Felicity piece.
I think all kitchens need ceramic chickens.
Don't you?
Here are some fresh apples and the stove of course.
Next is the Living Room.
Oh, hello Martin, Maybe you can
Continue the tour from here?
Sure Molly, no problem!
This is the Living Room.
It's a little girly, but I guess it's OK.
We can see the ocean from the window.
That's the best thing about it.
In this corner is our bookcase.
We like to read in this house.
We also keep our radio here for listening to music.
(This radio really works!)
In this other corner is our grandmother clock.
It has to be wound, but keeps real time.
HEY JULIE! YOUR NEXT!!
Hi, I'm Julie. Sorry about that.
Boys can be so loud sometimes.
This is my room. It's right above the Living Room.
These are my plushies.
You can see "Totoro" in the back and "Pusheen"
in front. On the left is Duke from "Pets".
On the right, I'm not sure, I just call her "Kitty"
This is my dresser top. I love photography.
And that's Sophie, my girl.
These are Lalaloopsy dolls.
Candy on the left is Grace's doll, and
Plum on the right is mine.
And, that's my room!
Grace! You're next!
Hi, I'm Grace. Welcome to my room.
This is Pooh bear. He's been with me
as long as I can remember.
This is my whole room.
This is our Dachshund, Missy. She likes my room best.
Maybe cause I rub her belly?
Here are my other plushies.
On the far left is my unicorn, in the middle
is "Squashy cat" and on the right is
My Pusheen cat "Minty"
You've already met Pooh bear.
This is my dresser top.
That's me and Sophie and Emma
in the photo.
This is Sophie and me when I was
first adopted, Christmas 2011.
I was first, but Molly is the oldest.
OK, I'm next.
Hi, I'm Emma.
This is my whole room.
It's one of the smaller rooms,
but I don't mind.
This is my Lalaloopsy doll Polly.
I love her long yarn hair.
That's the quilt Mom made for me.
This is my Pomeranian Missy Pooh,
She loves my Pusheen plushie.
This is my reading corner.
I love Jane Austen and Miss
Suzy is my absolute favorite
kids story!
This is my dresser.
The photo is of Mom and Sophie.
Mom made my lamp,
I'm sure she'd share how she did it if you ask.
This is a purse my best friend gave me.
Her name is Savannah Ann, she lives in Georgia.
Here's a photo of me and Savannah Ann shopping.
Well, it's me again, Molly.
This is my room. It's next to the kitchen.
I love to sew and crochet.
So, I have my sewing machine and
yarn basket here in the corner.
This is my dresser, it's just like Shirley's.
I'm reading the Wizard of Oz right now.
I think it's better than the movie!
These are my Colonial Williamsburg dolls.
That's Sarah on the left and Betsey on the right.
I do love History.
This is my dog Bennet. He is a Terrier.
And he's NOT supposed to be on my bed!
I think Martin is expecting you next.
(Get down Bennet!)
Hi, Martin again. This is my room.
Molly wanted me to point out my quilt.
This is my guitar. It's a Fender Starry Night.
Listen to this riff.
-Squeee wee weet!-
Pretty cool huh?
I really like Harry Potter.
So does my best bud Kurtis.
That's him dressed as Harry Potter.
This is us taking a walk.
That was a long time ago though.
sigh
This is my Star Wars collection.
Kurtis likes Star Wars too.
We both like the same things really.
This is my skateboard.
So cool.
Next to my room is Betsy's room...
Hey Betsy, just doing a house tour.
Hi Martin.
And this is Shirley's room.
Hi Martin!
And that's the WHOLE HOUSE!
Thanks for coming!
NOTES ON FURNISHINGS:
Things WE made...
Let me just say that my husband is a wood worker
and he built the room boxes that make up the house.
He also helped me with the wood projects
by teaching me how to use his tools and other times
he cut out things and built them for me.
The kitchen stove and counter as well as
the sewing machine we made.
The 2 twin beds are 100% made by me.
The armchair and couch were made by me.
The bookcase was a box I found and remade.
These lamps were made by me.
They hold an electric tea candle so they really light!
Things from Thrift Stores...
All these dressers came from thrift stores.
I made the stove and counter.
Almost everything else in the kitchen except the
Pleasant Co. items ALL thrifted!
Martin's bed and Julie's bed both found in
thrift stores. All the bedding was made by me.
Betsy's doll case room came from a thrift store
and was restored and remade by me.
I can say at least 70% of ALL my doll items came
from thrift stores, including a LOT of my dolls!
Bonus Thrifted Pleasant Co. Item!
Recently found this Pleasant Co. bunk-bed.
It had no mattresses or ladder.
I made all new bedding.
(we love dachshunds here)
I'm not sure where to put this yet, it's kinda big.
I have one more question...
Why does everything around here
have to be so dang girly?
