After letting the Orchid sit over night I got down to deciding what to do with it. A few ideas struck me right away. It would make that great Haunted house I've been promising to make myself - then again I've had Castles on the brain lately so I thought Aha! A small tower.. after checking out the concrete forms I have (too big) and the Oatmeal box (too small) I decided not to do a tower and try something simpler .. well that's what I told myself at the time... I decided to go with something like this:
I used poster board to draw up the patterns and just taped them on to the house to see how it would look. I then used the arches in the front door to draw new windows on the sides of the entry way to match the door arches.
The front and top gable have been removed here because after looking at it I decided the window needed to be raised - octagonal window frame as a template I drew the new window in place
I raised the front entry a bit because I decided I watned it taller - made a front arch to echo the door and window arches and taped it all back together
