[DIY & Creativity] My First Real Custom Build 💜✨🎨


This is officially my second time customizing a kit… and I decided to challenge myself a little more this time :face_holding_back_tears:
The first time, I only painted one wall. Just a small change.
But this time… I wanted to create something that felt completely mine and brighter! :purple_heart:

For Cathy’s Flower House, I wanted something brighter and more vibrant!:blue_heart::purple_heart:
I’m hoping these bold colors will really make the flowers pop and truly shine :tulip::sparkles:

Every piece I paint feels like I’m slowly transforming it into something new and I love watching it come together! It’s definitely outside my comfort zone, but I love watching it slowly come to life :two_hearts: It also definitely looks a little rough but I hope to customize it more and maybe add another layer of paint!

I’m so excited to see how all the colors come together once the flowers are in place :blossom:
Sometimes all it takes is a little paint to turn a kit into your own story :sparkling_heart:

If you’ve customized a kit before, what was your favorite detail you changed? Or any tips for me? :sparkles: Thank you for reading! :blush:

Lovin’ all the colours so far! :heart_eyes: I’m not a huge customizer, I think the Tilt-A-Whirl I’m building right now has been my biggest customized build!

Thank you! Just something to freshen it up a bit. I managed to add another paint coat so it looks a little smoother but I’m using acrylic paint markers which is kinda hard. I need to get actual paint!

Thank you so much! I’m excited to see it get even better too!

Nita and I got our liquid bottles from Walmart. Apple Barrel acrylics. not bad for $ 0.58 a bottle. Can buy singly or a kit. I have the markers as well but have used both.

I will soon! I’m waiting for my kid to stop FaceTiming with grandma so I can take a video of it without them talking in the background! :rofl::rofl:

I love the colors! Purple and blue looks good together. Looking forward for your build :slightly_smiling_face:

Can’t wait to see it complete in your vision.
