This is my San Franciscan that I began in 1996. It is 1/8" plywood, before the redesign, and it had a gagillion pieces. I had to design what I wanted in each room before I put the house together so I'd know if I needed to paint or stain, etc. The colors were inspired by a house in The Painted Ladies Revisited book, page 131.

From the album:

San Franciscan--the 20 year project

Thank you!

No, they came as white silkscreened lines on thin plastic but I wanted stained glass so I painted them with glass paints. Time consuming but I love it!

Your windows are absolutely ~BeAuTiFuL~! I've not heard of glass paints before. I must check into that! Thank you so much for sharing your photos... Really GORGEOUS...

Thanks so much!

Glass paints are transparent (most colors are, anyway) and they are easy to use. I got them at Pearl Paint, also you can get them at Michael's and A.C. Moore.

I have a Willowcrest that I am making into a Painted Lady. Weeks after I decided the style, I found How To Make Your Own Painted Lady at Value Village, and promptly ordered Painted Ladies Revisited! For anyone interested, there are now a series of videos online by the Victorian Historical society in San Francisco about the houses.
