Recap on the Coventry
Figured I'd give you all a recap on the Coventry, since you may not have yet figured out what we are doing with it.
I saw this house, and I thought, ADOBE!!! Consulted with son-in-law to get his opinion on whether what was in my head [scary thought, that!] could be transferred to this little house. Plus, I have NO CLUE what adobe should look like! He came over, went over things with me, was astounded at some of my thoughts and plans for how this was going to happen (he's never encountered paperclay before), and helped build part of this house.
The outside of the house, except for the roofing, is mostly finished. It is all paperclayed, and then painted with a color wash (or I may have done that twice) of Toffee Brown. The floors are stained with Red Oak and then polyeurethaned twice, and the trim work is also stained with Red Oak, as are the ceilings, and then wiped off and allowed to dry naturally without polyeurethane. The interior of the house is paperclayed and left natural, but I have to go back and fix the cracks.... I also need to get pix in the day time, because the true colors are not showing up.
Here's what it looks like now.
