The Shabby House


The exterior of the shabby house is almost finished. Anne helped me to make the doors, windows and weatherboards.
Now I need to decide what to put on the roof.
The house will sit on a board so it will have a little yard around it - I'm looking forward to filling that up!

    The house looks great...inside and out! I've enjoyed watching the progress. It must be so satisfiying to have a project so near to completion... :-)
    I always have a dozen things started and never quite seem to finish any of them. I need to get more focused... You are an inspiration.

    I love your house. The balcony with the Door/window is great, in fact that's what I would like to have in real life. I'm looking forward to seeing what you will do with the yard.

    A lovely house.
    I think a "metal" farmhouse type roof might be a different touch.
    Will you have flower boxes on the metal railing?

    It's adorable! :)

    I'm thinking those rounded shingles would look good on the roof, I think they call them fish scales?

    This house is looking GOOD! Congratz to both you and Anne on a job well done. Can't believe you built this from scratch. From porches to house is quite a leap. I like Rosanna's weathervane idea. But do you mean you haven't decided on the roof tiles?

    wow, 30 comments, you are a lucky lady!The shabby house is beautiful, I'd put on the roof wood tiles of a natural colour, maybe grey, very shabby. Looking foward to it!
