Back to the Magnolia, and a new arrival.
Now that the Spring Fling deadline has come and gone, I am back to the Magnolia-- hope to get it on its way to the east coast by the end of the year. I resumed work on the porches, installing the railing and finishing the edges:
I put cross-beams on the underside of the porch roof and installed two hooks for a porch swing.
Just got confirmation that a new niece is on the way! I know exactly what real estate she needs, and here it is!
This is an old Artply kit off eBay, so I anticipate alot of sanding...
It doesn't come with shingles or siding; I think I have enough leftover shingles accumulated over the years, but I'll have to spring for siding (I want a traditional look for the exterior). I have decided to take a different track with lighting-- instead of getting pre-made lighting fixtures, I'll buy the components (sockets, bulbs, plugs) and make them up myself. I think it'll save me a bundle on lighting if I do it that way.
I'm also thinking of blues for the exterior-- a light grey-blue, perhaps, with off-white trim and dark detailing. I'll have to think about this because I do want a nice traditional look but I wouldn't mind some painted-lady tones if I can figure out the right color blend. For the inside, I'm thinking bright and fun-- not any particular era, but maybe using that polka-dot scrapbook paper for example. Nothing too crazy though.
