MiniMadWoman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Well, I did it! I'm finally, almost, finished. I just have four more pieces of crown moulding to put in the main parlor and I'm done! :w00t: I still have to furnish it though. I'm looking for the right pieces . . . I need at least 3 or 4 tables, chairs, tea sets, et cetera, et cetera. For now, it's a wrap! Oh yeah, and some landscaping . . . a little garden outside the main parlor doors . . . You can see new pictures in my gallery. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovecats Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 It's just beautiful Teresa! I can't wait to see how you decorate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 :jaw: It's gorgeous Teresa!! You did an excellent job on all of it. The sign is just gorgeous (your art background really shows) and the little doves are a perfect touch. I'm a little concerned with the way Chloie is looking at the birds tho. :lol: You know how much I love shiny floors and I'm just in a swoon over yours. Guests will most certainly be taking off their shoes before entering (not that Hyacinth would have it any other way) Most of all, I really love the way you bashed these two houses together. All the little nooks and crannies fascinate me. My favorite kinds of houses (big or small) have those eccentric architectural features in them and you've done a tremendous job of giving this little house a lot of character.

MiniMadWoman Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Deb, you wanna talk about eccentric, this is the house! My goodness, in all the houses I've done (well, okay, the 3 and half houses I've done) this one has been the most work (well, I guess except for the conservatory). From the baseboards to the crown moulding it was a lesson in patience. Some pieces I had to cut 10 or 12 times . . . I'm soooo tired of trim work!! Funny you should mention taking off of shoes . . . I'm planning on putting a few pairs of shoes on the front porch . . . too funny! Time to sit down and have a cup of tea David, never mind tea!! I need a whiskey straight up!! ;) Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments. Once Hyacinth has given it the 'white glove' you're all invited to the open house for tea and scones!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Teresa, I've just now had a chance to look thru your pictures. The cottage is just lovely. A lot work and love went into this house, you can tell. (we won't mention the scaring of Holly's birds at times :lol: while having to cut trim) You should be very proud.

havanaholly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I can certainly picture Hyacinth in raptures over her new little tearoom, although I can't imagine her letting me in the door... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks again everyone! Holly, as long as you take your shoes off at the door, you're welcome! ;) You know 'Hyacinth' doesn't want us marking up her newly polished marble floors!

shutterbugkc Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Oh, how beautful! I love all of the little ornate flowers everywhere. And it is so sweet that you were able to use some of your Grandma's buttons. I bet she would be tickled. And that peacock is stunning! I can't wait to see it furnished.

ilovecats Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I don't know how i missed the photos of your interior. OH MY HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!

MiniMadWoman Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks so much everyone! Where did you find the beautiful wallpaper? I got it at 'Menard's'. It's real size paper, but the print was small enough I figured it would work . . . and besides, the color was just too perfect!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 The question that I just can't hold back any longer is this: Have you found a mini set of Royal Dalton with perwinkels? <giggling> I've had this internal wager going on with myself that if anyone could find a set, it would be you.
