Step 1: Dis-assembly
This house is a pretty nice one. It came apart pretty easily Just keep track of the screws, nuts and bolts. Its always nice to have an extra pair of hands while doing this.
Step 2: Clean, Scrape and Sand
Clean, Scrape and Sand the walls you are re-using. This house needed new flooring. It is made from 1/8" MDF with a sticker on it. The pieces you are replacing do not need to be sanded, just set them aside for now. A glue scraper works well to get the "extra" stickers from thru-ought the years.
Step 3: Prime the Walls
We primed all walls that are getting new paint. This was done all at once, so have them all ready before beginning this step. There isn't much to the instructions here, just paint them and let them dry...
Step 4: Replace the Floor
I located and measured the floor pieces I needed to replace and picked up a sheet of 1/8" MDF.I finish cut all the pieces. Then mark the new pieces and find their old counterpart. Lay the old one on top of the new floor and trace the floor-plan as needed. I used my band-saw for these odd cuts. I replaced ALL pieces that were 1/8"MDF
Step 5: Time for Paint
Before laying the color, mark for wallpaper and tape off the lines needed for room separation. Mix your paint (don't forget to save a little for touch-up) I think what we ended up with looked great. We added stripes to one of the walls. We first painted a nice layer of yellow.
Step 6: Paint the Accessories and Exterior
We used spray paint for the exterior of the house as well as the stair rails and stairs. All of these pieces were cleaned and primed before their final color. The spray paint takes much longer to dry so let them sit over night before handling.
Step 7: Wallpaper
We used cheap dollar tree self stick wallpaper on this and it worked well. Its nice to have the cutting mat for this but basicaly peel and lay the wallpaper on the area and trim the excess with an Ex-Acto knife.
