Quite an improvement!
It's January (already!) but I wanted to share photos of the small Christmas House I finished last month.
It came out pretty cute even if I'm done with it now and it's in a box. ha! Figured I'd better share it!
The outside is vastly different This is how it started. Above: how it ended.
I'd say it's much better now!
I used a Milk Chocolate color acrylic paint on the roof to resemble gingerbread. The lines were painted with glue, then glittered. Everything was painted and covered with something!
All the poinsettias were punched out from painted paper.
First floor:
Second floor:

Work on the Lavender Cottage is underway. The first floor front is stuccoed and I do like the color. The inside is electric taped. Nothing more can be done as certain pieces have to be added and painted first - the door and the railings to put the second floor on - and it's a ton of painting!
And... the more I think on it, first time I've had to do this - I painted the windows green and I really don't like the color contrast. So.... I painted a few over for the inside - probably going to do the rest - all antique white. Maybe. We'll see. The contrast on that plant (below) does look good. What do you think? Ugh!! Stay tuned for updates!
Maybe if I change my mind and piece a print (still looking) for the porch it will bring the colors together more. Or do green flooring... (There are some great vintage linoleum rugs and mats here.)
* Will think on it. That's it for now! Thanks again for visiting!
