Welcome to Sandilands



This is my beach hut, it is made from DHEs Summer house. I wanted it to be somewhere you could escape to and have a brilliant relaixing day by the sea. It is nowhere near complete yet as i am struggling to find the right minis for it.

I have painted it in a nice sky blue with white trims, to try and make it look fresh looking.


Inside i have used blue stripey wallpaper and added a big seaside image to the whole of the back wall, to make a bit of a feature wall. I have also added glittery blue floor to add some sparkle.




I found a perfect bed at york fair, i loved the colours and new straight away it was the one. I 1st saw it at York last June and loved it but didnt have anywhere for it to go, as i wasnt making my beach hut then. And then after i had finished my wallpapering and carpeting i new the bed would go perfectly. I tried contacting the seller but u was wasnt very good at explaining what it looked like, so they couldnt find it. Then when i went to York in November the bed was there again, so i bought it straight away. here it is in place in my beach hut.



First attempt at jazzing up a dresser :)

This is my 1st go at jazzing up a dresser, i have loved all the dressers that Paula has made (so much so that i bought one ) So i thought it was about time i had a go myself.

I used the plain dresser that i bought at York Fair for £5. Spray painted it a lilac colour, added scrapbook paper to the backs and then used scrapbook paper to make the buntings. The drawers need another coat of spray paint, but i am really chuffed with the result.

I think i am going to put it in Cosy Cottages bathroom and am hopefully going to buy loads of bathroom goodies (bottles etc) at Miniatura to fill it up.

This is how the dresser looked when i bought it -


This is it after -


And this is it in place in Cosy Cottage Bathroom -
