Well, I finished it. I always love a good before and after picture so here it is:
It really was so fun to work on and will certainly get more love now than it has in a long time!
The first level has a secret garden..something I always dreamed of having growing up.
Second level is the neighborhood. All of the drawing is done with sharpie marker..then painted..then sharpie over again.
Last level is the home suite...with mirrors, flowers, a sofa..and of course..chevron.:)
The animals seem to feel at home.
The neighborhood seems like a friendly place.
And the pig was instantly drawn to the sunburst mirror.
Best part about the project? The animals now have a place to sleep at night..(not on the floor, like they have for awhile)
and of course my daughter couldn't be more excited for the prospect of playing with it...that is after my 7 year old SON takes his turn. Wow, who knew it would be such a crowd pleaser.:)
Do you have anything laying around that you can put your magic touch to?

That's just pretty awesome! My girls would love something like that.
It looks so fun! Great job and thank you for sharing!
Wow that looks awesome! i love that it's made from the shelf so you have the nice built in storage in the drawers. Storage for toys is always nice
That is awesome!! My daughter would love it :) I love that there are drawers to store all the pets and accessories! Great idea!
Oh man I hope I can find a shelf like that somewhere!! Great Job!
Adorable!! I love the drawers for storage-- PERFECT!!!
Was The Secret Garden one of your favorites books too?
Your talent never seizes to amaze me!! great job! Did you use a sharpie to outline the furniture/city/garden?
My 4 year old son is obsessed with LPS! Between our own purchases and the hand-me-downs from friends, he has a rather large collection. This is an awesome idea! I'm going to have to keep my eye out for something similar so I can make a play house for his pets!
What a cute idea....I think my mom has something like this in her garage. I might have to snag this from her....lol
That is awesome! You did a great job. My daughters would have loved that a few years back.
My seven year old son loves my daughters' lttlest pet shop pets too! Too funny!
Genius Kiki! Esp. the part where you added the drawers for them to sleep. whimsical drawings, I've always loved your style.
Define fun idea and useful!
So cute!!! It's a little girl's dream :) I'm sharing this on my FB page!
Love it, Kiki! Kylie will be jealous! She'd love to come play with it, though. She actually got more pets for her bday this morning. ;) The house is awesome. Good work again! p.s. thanks for the pan. ;)
How awesome! I hope you don't mind if I totally rip this off!
That is seriously FABULOUS! You are amazing
Love this! Our Little Pet shop creatures and accessories do not have a "home", and thus get lost and constantly stepped on. What a great idea! Saw you at TT&J.
Wow!! That is seriously amazing! I can't even believe you free-handed everything with a sharpie! I'm in awe! I'm not sure what to even say... seriously fantastic!
That is sooooo cute! I bet every little girl out there dreams of having something like this. I started a new linky party on Mondays over at etcetorize.blogspot.com. I would love it if you would come by next week and share this fun project!
very fun! and the drawers below are perfect, too!
LOVE! WHat a great idea! I am going to start hunting for a house to paint! My daughter LOVES Pet Shops and I love the storage idea!
This is really cute and fun project! You are very creative with lots of patience :)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this! We have a lot of littlest pet shop toys too, and I've actually been looking for a little bookshelf to make into a house! But I LOVE that yours has drawers on it! Thanks for the post, and I have a few more ideas now!!! I'm also toying w/using a bookshelf for a Barbie/doll house when my daughter gets older!
Those pets are livin' in style!!! Love it all, but the sunburst mirror made me LOL! You have one very lucky child!!!
WOW! I found you from eighteen25. My daughter loves little pet shop, and this would be perfect for her!! I love it!!
This is so stinkin' cute! My daughters littlest Pet Shops drive me NUTS! She just loves them, but they make such messes! I totally love this solution. I need one immediately!
This is so darling! And I love the extra storage for all the little friends.
It's beautiful!!! My kids love this! A perfect idea for their room.
I LOVE that you gave them a sunburst mirror!!
