DH had been hoping that it was the beautifully painted set that he remembered from his childhood, but it was not. It was a somewhat sloppily painted set that he had never seen before. He hated it and talked about giving it away, but I convinced him that we should keep it, so that I could try to make it look prettier. It took me a long time to get around to this, but this past week, I finally did it.
I painted the entire set with white gloss spray paint.
The shiny white made the village look more like fine china.
I gave all the roofs an extra layer of paint and blaze sprinkled white glitter on the wet paint.
A couple inexpensive with trees from JoAnn Fabrics and some of the fake fur left over from the stole I made for my Halloween costume and the winter scene was complete.
" That is much better! I don't hate them any more," Said DH when he saw the newly painted houses.
