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.

Rosanna is right, I also put on a roof for the wind vane shaped like a rooster ...

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.

Taenia said...

What a lovely little house!
The shape of it is quite uncommon but I love it.

As usual, I'm looking forward to see more pictures of your wonderful miniatures!

Hugs, Taenia

Alissa said...

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

dale said...

It's adorable! :)

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

Sans said...

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?

Sabiha Barkey said...
