Hi, friends. Another post! Two in one day! Woohoo!! I've added baseboards to cover the uneven edges of the flooring. Although, even if they'd been even, I think the baseboards make the room look finished. I've only done these two rooms. Today, I'll buy another package of them and do the other rooms. As always, thanks for visiting!!
 Hi friends, finally the fireplace in the bedroom is finished. Isn't it cute?
The fire is a flickering tea light that I bought at Halloween time. I painted it red with gray and added twigs to the top.
This is the finished fire screen with paper hinges that I made. It actually bends. 
The screen is from an actual screen door that my husband repaired last year. You can see the sewing pins in the hinges. In this picture, I've painted them black. After this, I painted just a bit of silver of them to make them appear old.
This was my inspiration for the fireplace screen. From a magazine.
Skinny strips of wood and small pieces of scrap book paper. The wood is 1/8 of an inch wide.
I cut the small strips of paper to fit the 1/8 inch wide wood. 
Here, you can see that I wrapped the paper around the pin and pinched the end to form the rounded part to hold the pin. Then I glued them onto the other strips of paper, alternating them so they would fit together like a hinge.
