I'm all twitterpated!

 I'm twitterpated because the prep work is finished and now I can start doing the fun stuff like putting it together and filling the rooms with furniture and tiny dessicant cylinders masquerading as canned food. 

I painted over the '70s backdrop and I used white paint (as in house paint) instead of spray paint. It was truly a rookie mistake and the paint caused the cardboard to crinkle. Sigh. 

Also, if you look at the last photo you can see that the backdrop has taken quite a beating. I think it looks like some mice have had it for lunch but I guess it could be wear and tear. At any rate, I glued some posterboard on all of the worn spots. 

I'd had a lot of trouble deciding where to put the finished product. It's around 60 inches long so I had to find a place for it. I didn't want to bury it in a bedroom because I want it to be a conversation piece. Fortunately, I found the perfect place on a bench/shelf in the picture window. I'll post photos of the progress which is sort of the point of this blog--ha ha
