Two of us at the Lavender Cottage..
I admit it's slow going and I wasn't too inspired. It's been way too hot, tired of being cooped up in the AC (though finally got to turn it off as of this writing - and now it's back on. haaa. Sooo humid!), my car got some more repairs - again - which cost more than quoted (of course!!) and I'm still missing my dog.
So slogging along.
Dormers trimmed. Will likely still add more trim. Maybe stars in that white space.
Anyway, I'm slowly getting things done here and there. The Lavender Cottage roof is done and trimmed but I keep having to touch up bare spots showing through. It gets to the point where I'll decide it's good enough and then I can put the gloss varnish on. Then it'll be the vines and some wisteria and leaves next which will definitely add to it. (* See last post of interior.)
I decided to go with the green color on the side trim and the front trim of the dormers. Gave it a bit more contrast. Now if I could just find where or where I put those small window flower boxes I'd set aside... you know, in that "safe" place... 😀
Here's the side peak:
One fun part is these odd little shelf-alcoves on the sides. The only thing I could think is that they'd make good nesting spots, so I extended the trim on the bottom to close it in more, then added some colored moss and a bird in one.
I really am thinking of Halloween, so I'm making a couple weird plant flower beds to switch out and decided to see if I can make a small pumpkin patch. I am leaning toward making the whole inside Halloween next once I decorate it the regular way. I just can't resist and I really feel like changing it up already though I do have some decorating things to finish first.
Anyway, that's it for now. Will share any new things soon!
