A Japan black floor and I found the poo.

 This is the floor finish in my son's place, It's japan black and now the skirting boards are now attached but  I was there the day before he did that.
We had a bit of disaster afternoon, he hit the light connection and the globe fell out but didn't break but the connection did so as soon as it was dark we had to go home as it was impossible to see and he cut the plaster board the wrong way and had to redo it, that was in the bath room he is just starting on that.



 But that all I got on the renovations and it be a while before they are back to finish off, but most of the big jobs are finished now, inside anyway.
 This is the inside of a dolls house I made my daughter many years ago it's in the front room where Ian [bo beep] stayed for a few days before he went to NZ now he didn't shut his door all the time and guess what one of the cats did a poo on that little green table now I have spent two days moving furniture and cleaning trying to find the smelly thing.
I should have taken a picture but I'm sure you seen one before.

  1. Love the dolls house. A treasure. A treasure defiled. Bless their rotten hearts. Sometimes I think they poo in out of the way places deliberately and sit back and laugh as we try and track it down.
    The renovations are looking good.

    1. I'm pretty sure they do too, they looked pretty amused the last couple of days but they are outside all day now.

    1. I love those big and beautiful ones but they are so valuable that they can't be played with.

  8. I LOVE the doll's house! I would have played in that for hours each day if I'd had one like it.
    I remember old homes having japanned floors when I was little. We'd go to visit someone for afternoon tea and the living room would have a carpet square in the middle and the floors around the edge were so shiny and black!
    Then years later everyone started stripping floorboards to reveal the timber and now japanning is becoming popular again. It can look stunning, particularly with the right style of furniture but I personally don't like it.
    If I was to have black floors they would be polished granite tiles like one of my daughters has.

    1. I prefer polished wood too but their floors were not a nice wood they did a test patch so they did the next best thing.

  12. Oh, that is too funny - but of course, not for you! Love your little doll house - and the black floors are wonderful. Home improvement is always two steps forward, one step back.....A good night's sleep always helps. Thanks for the laugh...:) Karen

  19. Thanks so much for visiting Mr. J on my blog today! Those dark floors are beautiful! I lived with white painted (sub)floors for many years until we got our wood floors put in. They were horrible to try to keep clean! Have a great week!

  20. Oh, I enjoyed seeing all the rooms in the doll house, Merle. This post really hit home for me because the girls used to have a doll house that their grandpa made for them, and when they got older, I ended up giving it away, and I really wish I had kept it. I'm so glad you still have the one that you made for your daughter. What a treasure that must be for you.

    Have a great week ahead.

    love,
    ~Sheri
