Lighting the Half Scale Miniature Witch Cottage

 


The ceiling/second floor is on now so it now looks like a little square box. ha! Some gaps to cover but not too bad. I'll have to add some ceiling trim, too. I hate all that painting and trimming!

Also had some more progress! Got some lights in the first floor... (See last post: exterior) Click photos for full size; see post archives in left column) * Next: Miniature Green Thumb: Plants


Here are the lights I added. The top left light is from a set of medieval-looking tubes I bought in a package from Hobby Lobby. I used the larger bell cap with the keys attached for the larger light. More magical keys if the witch needs them. ha!

  I wish the color would come out right in the photos. The ceiling really looks neat - a spring green color.  It's hard to get a photo for the color to look right. Here's the paint though computer tones may vary.



Here's the octopus I used on the side wall with a painted metal tube for the bulb.




Still some trim to add to the porch yet and small railing strips. I'm working on the larger botanical shelf at the moment and some small poison plant boxes for a wall. Hope to show that soon.

In the meantime, some more real plants.  Did four containers of morning glories this year and they're really coming up! Moved them  over to the trellises. Just hope our resident bunnies (we keep seeing babies!) leave them alone. haaaa! Can't wait to see when they all bloom! The sunflowers are doing pretty good, too.


So, a "little" update! Thanks again for visiting. Come back soon for new posts!
