Wasn't sure how far I'd get, but did want to get the second floor done and... Ta-dah! Some progress! I know, still a lot to go, but it gives an idea of the direction I'm going.
Last time I showed the first floor lights, and mentioned I had the second floor outer walls stuccoed and assembled. It looks bare yet as I have to add the roof, plus the top angled roof and side walls. I might put some shutters, too, if they look right.
Now I got the walls papered, the windows with curtains in, and the floor set. The floor isn't glued down yet, but I wanted to see how it would look. Lots of glueing and trimming yet. I like that it has a summery, airy feel.
I decided on a light purple floral print (scrapbook paper), and since this is a cottage, I was going to make it a place where people would stay for vacation. So there will be two beds, and there may be a smaller cot, too. Plus there will be bookcases with games, etc., some comfy seating, and a table in the corner.
That lamp on the table is a purple mesh bead with a white cap and I'll have two more of the beads only on the ceiling. The ceiling isn't attached yet and will have a dark pinkish-purple paper to pick up the colors. I think it'll look pretty good.
Here's a photo of the finished house again (from the website).
The third floor has an angled ceiling, so I'm thinking of maybe making it into a storage space (gotta have storage for all the seasonal and extra stuff!) and might put a small sleeping area, too, for that extra guest who wants more privacy. I always seem to make an extra bed somewhere in all my houses! No stairs in the house (too small), so there will have to be some pretending here. ha!
So still working on things. So far, so good!
